I don’t even like to admit when I have a migraine as it feels like total defeat. Kind of one of things that if you put it out there in the world – it becomes a fact (even though it is). Usually I reach for drugs and push through a workout and just give it …
I’ve written 1,000 posts in my head since I started blogging again (my 2nd post after a looong hiatus). I was never sure if my emotions and head space for that day would give my thoughts justice. Excuse me for my ramblings ahead of time…as there is a lot in my little head that I …
It’s been about 5 years since I last wrote to you (cue in SPCA music for blog neglect). We have a lot to catching up to do!!! I’ve ALWAYS considered blogging as my free therapy and it finally dawned on me, that I needed this outlet in my life again. Last week I announced to …
It all started with this Facebook post back on July 7th of this year. My Facebook friends are awesome and I immediately subscribed to a ton of recommendations. Since then, I’ve been like a kid (or myself – I love candy), in a candy shop. My ears have opened up to a whole world of …
Wow, it has been over 3 years and though many of us are tired of hearing about Port Marigny (PM), the special meeting that was quietly scheduled for Thursday Nov 29th, 6:00 is VERY IMPORTANT. It could be the one that votes a law that forever changes Mandeville. We had a nice little lull as …
It’s been about a year and a half since I’ve I assumed the role of becoming the, “Reluctant Teetotaler,” and also, “Uber Greta” (my nickname for myself) (for which I have mixed reviews from MANY an annoying backseat driver/passengers – hubby included). Last week an old friend asked me jokingly, when I joined the Taliban …
By guest author: Brett Perry (my husband) Let me begin by saying, that I am all for a reasonable and sensible development of the pre-stressed concrete site, so long as the development adheres to federal, State and local laws/regulations. However, the previously submitted plan for the proposed Port Marigny development met none of these criteria. …
To reference Christmas Vacation, remember when Clark’s boss stiffs him of his Christmas bonus and gives him the, “Jelly of the Month Club?” Then Eddie chimes in with, “Clark, that’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.” Port Marigny is not far off, as it is the gift that keeps on giving! For the record…myself …
My puppy bubble has officially been burst, since this “catastrophy” of Port Marigny encroached on my life. If you’ve read any of my posts before, or even know me in real life, I have a puppy personality. In other words, I like mostly everyone I meet, unless that “6th sense” magically kicks in. You know that …
The Port Marigny team has hired a PR firm to combat the very powerful grassroots opposition and are currently finding every “supporter/friend/paid Facebook like” who has been hiding under a rock until now to say how wonderful it will be. NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO SPEAK UP! Contact ALL the council members and let them …
The grassroots “Stop High Density” all volunteer group of Mandeville Citizens, has done such a great job voicing the facts of why they oppose Port Marigny’s excessive density…the PM team had to go hire a PR firm for the final stretch… In 3…2…1…comes their new spin. The PM team will be bringing in all their …
It is so wonderful to see the best come out in people when it comes to helping others during a time of need. I’ve been asked repeatedly, “Greta, where is the best place I can send my hard earned money?” There are tons of great places to donate household goods, and I’m pretty confident they get …

Your voice needs to be heard! Once developed – it can’t be undone. 1. Port Marigny is NOT a done deal! It still must be approved by the City Council and they look like they will take their time to make sure this is done correctly. It is unlikely the current council will vote on …
I don’t know where to begin the tale of my humorous social media birthday experiment…that seemed to also trickle into my real life.
The picture featured in this post, is the overhead view of a high density trailer park. I have used it before when trying to talk about the “potential” (key word here – it could be turned down by a council vote), development of Port Marigny. No matter what way you slice it – the owners …
