“Post-Katrina Stress Disorder” is a real thing, not a figment of one’s imagination. I’m not a psychologist, (nor do I play on my blog) just spreading my observations from 3 months of conversing with locals. Let’s just put it this way, my hubby was deployed to Iraq and then to Louisiana after the storm. He …
I finally got a chance to meet my newest e-mail, phone pal in person. Her name is Milena Merrill and she runs the blog show for NOLA.com Northshore. I think if you add our energy levels together, the world could possibly explode. I see big things for us together, we are definitely both movers and …
I was in for a little self tune-up at the docs today & just about attacked the coffee table when I saw the latest of Edition of Inside Northside Magazine. Like a little kid tearing open a present, I was going through it as fast as I could – looking for my 2 feature articles: …
My stockbroker (my cousin), calls me whenever the market plummets and says, “Everything is on sale Greta…buy now.” If you were house shopping on the Northshore anytime in 2006 (like yours truly), you noticed houses waaaaaay overpriced. I just sold my home in Oklahoma for $77 a square foot & I was shopping for houses …
This is pretty much going to stay a “warm & fuzzy” blog. Well, I want to spread my “pay it forward warm fuzzies” to everyone. My life before arriving in Louisiana had been that of an active duty spouse. Now that hubby os retired and I don’t live near a military base, I still will …
Wow! I have had an outpouring of local community love this weekend. I got so many E-mails from locals who are enjoying my fresh perspective as well as house shoppers and possible transplants who were convinced that Mandeville & the Northshore were the places for them – after reading my blog. The power of the …
I have one friend I left in Oklahoma who would love it here. I think this picture will sell her! This picture is from the Target in Metairie.
“You have to go to Jazzfest, it is the best.” “Don’t miss the French Quarter Festival, it is the best.” “You have to go to the Bacchus Ball, it is the best.” To be honest, my family needs a day at home (I may be regretting that statement when they all wake up). We have …
I was thrilled to read this comment today and had to share. I Have been researching a relocation to Louisiana since my husband took a job in Norco last October. It didn’t take long to narrow my search down to Mandeville on the Northshore because of it’s school system, low crime, and beauty. I love …
* This NOLA.com gig rocks! Welcome new readers! My name in lights and $200 bucks a month-what more could a girl ask for? Lots would be an appropriate response – I want it all! (never mind – I have it all, but more $ would be welcome). I have been blogging as a hobby for …
That’s right, I’m inventing myself in Mandeville, in NOLA, in Louisiana. I am creating my own stardom without the paparazzi and paycheck. I am tooting my own horn as a “new local personality.” Louisiana, Greta Perry and her whole fam damily have arrived and you will have to beat us with a stick to get …
Son #1 goes to Lake Harbor Middle School in Madeville now & son #2 will be there next year with him. Tonight they had their “Evening with the Stars.” I was blown away! Something unique to this area school system is how they group and evaluate their “gifted” students. They wouldn’t even honor #1’s gifted …
Yay – my internet headache is gone. I am now the proud owner of Bellsouth DSL & it is faster & best of all – it works!!!!
