I just hate that I did not see the gallery when I was in the French Quarter in February 2011 on one of my treks to see my "Louisiana cousins" in St. Martinville, Broussard, New Iberia, Baton Rouge, and Pineville - and on the way - my cousin Gary Reed receiving cancer treatments in Houston. Next time I am in southern Louisiana I will definitely go to N.O. to see George's gallery.cityfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707168648983690215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-54331235522018412482011-08-21T04:14:09.680-05:002011-08-21T04:14:09.680-05:00I look forward to meeting you both.

I live in Greenwell Springs,but am formerly from Richmond, VA ( studied art at VCU,Richmond).So, I am not close to Shreveport..but did study and became a certified master gardener in 2000..through LSU's master gardener program in Baton Rouge. That is how I learned of the Rose Center in Shreveport.<br /> I really enjoy your posts !!! Keep on typing..you have lots of fans.

That was news to both George and myself. Although still entrenched in Baton Rouge at the moment, we are looking forward to our road trip north. Shreveport has always been a favorite stop for both of us. We'll see you there!<br /><br />And Grandma Sandy -- Thank you for the encouragement! I am always so happy to know I have readers, and just when I'm thinking of cutting back a bit, I receive your message. Looking forward to seeing you in Shreveport as well. Should be a great time-<br /><br />WendyWendy Rodrigue Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289447655110009690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-52619051839042406392011-08-19T12:50:50.801-05:002011-08-19T12:50:50.801-05:00please pardon the incorrect spelling above.

I am looking forward to your visit to Shreveport in September. I talked briefly with you when George was doing a book signing at Barnes and Noble in Shreveport. My preschool class loves his book. We do an art project using his blue dog image from the web site. again your faithful reader.......Grandma Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947011323106812901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-10164191105281285552011-08-19T10:13:28.940-05:002011-08-19T10:13:28.940-05:00Read your article in Gambit.

I enjoy reading your thoughts. They provoke my memories, inspire my musings, make me laugh, inform me and make me curious. So to that you are successful. Each writer chooses the subject that inspires them. For you that is currently George. Who knows what will inspire you in the future. Just remember those famous words from Dirty Dancing "Nobody puts Baby in the corner". So write if only for yourself. But I will keep on reading......... A very fateful readerGrandma Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947011323106812901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-29247050909024680252011-08-18T23:41:45.688-05:002011-08-18T23:41:45.688-05:00I think it's great that you are both touring t...I think it's great that you are both touring the state and have the current exhibit in Baton Rouge.<br /> I also hope that you will consider, if you haven't yet done so, combining the art of the rose....along with whatever other magical combination, as " Shreveport" houses the American Rose Society's horticultural center. Few people in Louisiana even know about this, and even fewer know much about Shreveport..or that it houses America's main horticultural research center.<br /> I have enjoyed your posts, blogs and am a also an artist. In the past, I have sent messages to your other website when I find others online trying to copy the " Blue Dog" and sell it as their own.<br /> People need to be educated about copyright infringement and also professional integrity. There is only one George Rodrigue..and I wish you both continued success. So glad you are experiencing this intense heat...I lived briefly in the San Marino,CA area...no humidity...and a lovely area. Best wishes..Carpe Diem !! Cathy Hudgins Arnett..a fanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
