10.13.14 Updates, RVillage Ambassadors, upgraded RV lighting and book recommendation

We are still enduring one of the most frustrating experiences in recent years - trying to sell or even rent our house and all the ups and downs that go with that.

09.25.14 A little of this, a little of that!

We had another showing this morning so I spent hours yesterday cutting the grass, sweeping, spraying down all the gardens.  When it comes to watering the gardens there seem to be so many and they all get dusty when the grass gets cut so, even though I watered everything day before yesterday it all had… Continue reading 09.25.14 A little of this, a little of that!

09.11.14 So what’s new??

Southeastern and LSU won their games Saturday by huge amounts.  They are both powerhouses in their conferences.  The bad news is that the Saints lost (oh how it hurts to say that word) to the Dirty Birds of Atlanta by a field goal in overtime in their first regular season game.  Our defense was rotten.… Continue reading 09.11.14 So what’s new??

Life has become so complicated and I thought this blog post really showed the huge jump that's been made from 1970 until now in just one area - going back to school.  My children were in school in the 80s and 90s. I was still in high school in the early 70s.  I don't think… Continue reading 09.02.14 Going back to School: The 70s vs. Today by Scary Mommy Victoria Fedden

08.27.14 Things I have learned or been reminded of lately………….

I have learned or been reminded of a few things recently. One is that the heat in Louisiana in August is as close to HELL as I ever want to get.  The humidity slaps you in the face as soon as you walk outside.  When the lows at night are in the 80s you know… Continue reading 08.27.14 Things I have learned or been reminded of lately………….

Saints fever is spreading throughout the South in these weeks leading up to the regular season.  Time to get the plastic bag and tub containing all our Saints paraphenalia, clothes, signs, etc. out from under Dora.  Near the end of last season we bought our Sproley Oley tin can man to hang outside.  Since Sproles… Continue reading 08.13.14 First day of school, victorious Saints, and beautiful butterflies!
