A reader sent me an article about how Hammond’s sewage has possibly caused some problems with the wetlands it was intended to help, by draining South of Pontchatoula as can be read about here. Now Mandeville plans to do something similar to hopefully stimulate a Tchefuncte marsh as reported by Doug Mouton here. I’m no …
OK – so whether you like David Vitter or not, he has a great reputation for being pro-troops and his voting record clearly states that. Here is one recent example. On a personal note, I witnessed him at a Town Hall meeting this past March in Mandeville. Unless he is the most amazing actor in …
LONG POST!!! It has been crazy for the past 2 weeks. First, there was my wild weekend in the French Quarter for Tales of the Cocktail. I came home for a few days and then flew off to DC to represent Soldiers’ Angels in a meeting with the American Legion. This meeting was monumental and …
Hi everyone!!! It seems like ages since I’ve written a real post. I’ve actually been on vacation in Destin, FL with my family since my trip to DC. For the safety of my house, my house sitter, Chulo the Stupor Dog & my 4 cats, I opted not to discuss my whereabouts. You have no …

Last weekend I was in the French Quarter with hubby and this week I travel to DC on Soldiers’ Angels business. I will be sitting with some great people at The American Legion. Now that I’ve done my Legion homework, I’m completely in awe of them even more than ever. Over 150,000 posts and over …

The pic is of my friend, local blogger and talk show personality Jeff Crouere and yours truly sitting in the new 2010 Ford Taurus (only 2 in the Country – I is special). I previously wrote about the upcoming dinner with Ford and a bunch of area bloggers. Well….last night was the dinner at Mandina’s. …
I’ll confess, until I started hanging with Mr. & Mrs. Cocktail (Ann & Paul Tuennerman) last year (we do back to back radio shows), my alcohol repertoire consisted of beer being “cold” or “really cold.” They have opened my eyes to a whole new world and I am embracing it…one drink at a time. I …
