* my oldest son went paintballing (is that a word?) for the first time yesterday. Needless to say – he is hooked & so is my really old child (hubby). Paintball Command in Mandeville gets my highest praises: safety, clean, well run ad won’t break the bank. Too bad #2 son is too young – you are supposed to be 10. He wanted us to lie about his age – what kind of parents would we be if we did that? Well certainly not that kind – next year #2.
* My front yard flooded for about 20 minutes yesterday and then it was gone – strange.
* #1 and hubby are going red-fishing somewhere in South Louisiana today & tomorrow
* Why did I get suckered into Facebook? I think I like it better than Myspace – which I have neglected badly!
* The chili cook-off that a bunch of Louisiana Angels with Soldiers’ Angels helped sponsor – will take place this Labor Day in Afghanistan. A huge morale booster as they had 2 heroes fall this week.
* Is it too late for me to run for governor? I’d run on the Libertarian party ticket.
* Shout out to Jan in Covington who had a knee replacement this week. I haven’t called her as I figure she is enjoying a prescription cocktail!
* I love Louisiana!!!
