New Orleans Girl

Vanessa and Jodi have been friends as long as they could remember. Their moms were friends who met at a dance event they were competing in at the age of five. Today they’re meeting up at the old beach house their families own and would visit every summer since they were little girls. They are seventy years old now with grand-kids and kids of their own. Jodi arrived at the beach house early. Her granddaughter dropped her off. “Are you sure you’re going to be okay without me grandma ma”? “Yes Jess, I’m just going to sit around and wait on my old friend”. Hours had past and Vanessa still hadn’t arrived so Jodi fell asleep. Waking to a loud sound in the middle of the night it was Vanessa entering the back door. “Hey frienny”!!!

(Vanessa) “But the casinos are just starting to pop off”....

Can I get you a cold drink while lunch is being prepared”? Brad responded “We’ll be down after getting settled in our room”. Brad’s an artist originally from LA, California.
