Sorry folks, I maxed out on “love week,” too many other things racing in my little brain (the hamster drank too much caffeine I think). I got my dozen roses, a cupcake from my daughter and kisses from the boys…what more could a girl want for Valentine’s Day? And to top it off, we are …

The Princess of Positive is here to tell you a little bit about construction in Mandeville. You know how much I love my new home (just celebrated my 1 year anniversary here and my 1 year Blogiversary too). But someone has got to talk about it and it might as well be me. Now you …

Who invented this fine dining idea? Guess there is more to life than Sonic and dry cereal (my cooking disability always gets in the way)? Last night, yours truly, hubby’s 2 “old” (evil laugh inserted here) Army buddies and their better halves rocked La Provence in Lacombe. Who wouldtahunk there would be such an amazing …

* Greta’s Guide to Holiday Shopping” has been updated and please don’t forget to shop my ads! I must say it is a pretty cool guide and no – nobody paid me to put them on it. * Tune in from 12:00- 1:00 today and listen to Andre Trevigne on 99.5 FM. I’ll be on …

Hello Mr. Davis, Let me introduce myself. My name is Greta Perry and my family chose to settle in Mandeville after my husband’s retirement from the military. We don’t have any family here, but took it as an opportunity. We are thrilled with our new home and are quickly growing roots. I have been a …

* I want to blog – write whatever I want – unedited * I want people to read my blog on NOLA.com and my personal blog * I want to “brand” myself as the “go to” blogger for St. Tammany and the greater New Orleans area * I want to entertain people and bring a …

UPDATE – thanks for all the Weblog Award votes. No I didn’t win, but I am sure the reason is because all of you were voting at the same time and that is what crashed their site (lol). Thanks for supporting me! * I’ve come up with a great list of holiday ideas from local …

Spent some $ this week and also saved some (hubby– I shop to save money – makes perfect sense). I am an internet junkie and could do all my business on-line – but who does it help or hurt? One of my personal missions when we decided to move to Louisiana was to do my …

This cool coffee art is painted by local artist Richard Lewis. He calls his art Caribbean Primitive/Pop. This picture is titled “Cafe’ au Lait and Beignets.” This picture is enough to brighten up anyone’s day. Honey – another hint of a picture I would really like!!! The coolest thing about having a blog, is meeting …

Well it is official, Ramon the Pool Boy & my fictitious maid have run off and have left me! And that stinking Laundry Fairy needs to shut off the TV – all she wants to do is watch her “stories” and eat bon-bons. Dang – good help is hard to find. And it ain’t like …

* Look what is growing in my backyard. Well technically it isn’t growing in my yard, but it hangs over my fence. Does this mean I get to eat the bananas? *We went to GB’s Patio Bar & Grill at 8117 Maple 861-0067 in the Riverbend area for lunch. For a change it was cool …

* welcome LaFete News readers and if you don’t know what the heck I am talking about – click because my Absolut New Orleans & V8 colada splash “Mandeville Medley” drink set the bar (pun intended) real high. I can’t wait to see what drinks and names others come up with! Thanks Frank for the …

Just like Ruby-Sue from the Christmas Vacation movie (cross-eyed until kicked in the head by a mule), I was not able to “think outside the box” as much before my head injury in 1993. And to my family’s dismay, I didn’t recover and become a good cook or play the piano. Local situational despair has …

No, I am not talking about Soldiers’ Angels for once, but about Guardian Angels. But hey – angels in Louisiana are needed for both!!! I was listening to the Andre Trevigne show on Tuesday and had the pleasure of hearing about the New Orleans Guardian Angels. I have to admit, that in my mind, they …
