Mother, daughter travel to Louisiana

Sharon Kelsey of Marion and her daughter Kristine Hardisty of Salina were recent guests of Sharon’s sister and brother-in-law, J.B. and Margie Geisler, in Metairie, La.

Additional guests for a shrimp boil June 18 were Jay and Shawn Goering and Jace of Keller, Texas; Shannon Schmidt of Newton; Melissa Parenti and Joseph, Wayne and Joycelyn Geisler, and Cimarron Ensminger, Leland and Maxwell.

The birthdays of Shawn, Sharon, and Kristine were celebrated that evening. A cake was served decorated with the honorees’ names and birthdates.

Lindsay Hardisty and her son, Koby Vanderford, drove in from Salina on June 21 to surprise Kristine—Lindsay’s mother and Koby’s grandmother—on her birthday.

Margie Geisler and Cimarron Ensminger proved to serve as excellent tour guides as many interesting, as well as historical, areas were visited by the guests. Of particular interest was Pat O’Brien’s on Bourbon Street, where J.B. Geisler has covered the tables and a grand piano in copper.
