The weather here is so beautiful…again! This will be another one of those days where you don’t bother doing inside chores at all! As I read about all the lousy weather in the country today, a brush of guilt hit me. I am currently sitting at the kitchen table, typing away. I am staring out …
Nola.com talked about an art exhibit coming this Sunday to…you guessed it, New Orleans. As I work on java cup #3 this morning I am eager with anticipation for this exhibit. Huge impressionist fan here – yippee!!! Anyone want to go with me?
“Here comes the rain.” I know, I’ll probably be saying that the rest of my days in LA. I spent 3 years in the El Paso desert, 2 in Oklahoma during a drought & now I live in the perma-swamp. Really, I welcome rain, because otherwise I would never get anything done (am an outdoor …

If I wasn’t such a news junkie, I swear I would be living in “Utopia.” The flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, weather is gorgeous and the people are warm and inviting. I am starting to chime in a little bit more on local politics via: Nola.com, the local news & of course my fave …
What happened to your area from Katrina? Well, in Mandeville (where I now live), big trees fell on houses & water often destroyed the gaping holes. My house was fortunate as the trees never penetrated the roof or fell on someone else’s roof. Today I am having that last hazardous over 40 year old pine …
Is anyone talking about this? Kids can’t go to school because there aren’t enough teachers. Where is the outrage? Yesterday I posted this tidbit: Yes, I am a certified teacher & felt so sorry for the poor kids going without teachers that I e-mailed the school system – TWICE! On the on-line application it asked …
We took my visiting from MA mother for a birthday brunch to The Broken Egg in Old Mandeville. Two people had recommended it – so worth a try. It was amazing. We enjoyed the atmosphere – just adorable & the food was perfect! It was a little pricy – but well worth it. I enjoyed …
When we decided to move to LA, all I could dream about was all the fun political stuff I could dive into & write about. After all, there is no state than has been more scrutinized in the news lately than LA (with my home state of MA-ass a close second)! I decided I would …
Hubby ran into an old Army buddy of his who happens to be dating a local gal. We were invited over to her adorable house in Metairie today. She still has some post-Katrina work to do – but is feeling at home and I adore the local flavor used to decorate her house. I can’t …
I have to step away from the King Cake until next year. Dang this stuff is good!
* the weather was gorgeous today – 70 degrees * I took my kids to 8 different parades from Mandeville to the French Quarter (over the past 2 weeks) – no boobs – no unruly drunks – I never felt that anyone’s safety was in question. In fact, I felt very safe the whole time …
I know, most of you have been holding your breath with anticipation. When will Greta finally nurse her hangover enough to actually tell the rest of the world what goes on inside this “closed – invite only event?” Well sit back & laugh while I turn my tale of chaos for the world to read. …
I promise to fill you in later!
