I am still alive...
Hello to all my Blogit pals. I have been a busy bee, still working near Lafayette. My daughter is still in school here, as well. She is making A's and B's and being a little social butterfly. She isn't the least bit interested in football, but you can bet she's been to the last 2 games to hang out...

An Unexpected Vacation
Thank you all for tuning in on my continuing saga of running from hurricanes. To Cynthia, I would LOVE to check out Boston some day. Alas, right now gas is so expensive, we've stayed in the southeast region of the country this time around. My travels have taken me through places I'd never heard of,...

Hurricane Rita... On the run again
Many of us are starting to feel like the bad weather (and luck) is chasing us. I am on the run from yet another hurricane. I am now in Alabama, safe and sound, making the most of things as usual. Again, I know many who stayed behind I am worried about. Please keep them in your prayers. Wishing all...

My latest concern is the next tropical storm, Rita, soon to become a hurricane. It is about to hurdle through the Gulf of Mexico in my general direction. New...

My house does have electricity, but phone service is still out. Luckily, his cell phone is working just fine, so we can...

Small town lessons for a city girl (JoeLove can appreciate this one)
Evacuee Update for my Blogit Friends: I am still being well taken care of by my boyfriend's family in a small town near Lafayette, Louisiana. In fact, we often feel guilty because we may be putting on a few pounds while others are concerned about where they will get their next meal. We are taking...

Things I miss most about New Orleans
1. The twisted oak trees so large you can walk on the branches, and the moss hanging from them 2. The architecture of the old homes, especially uptown in the Garden District 3. A restaurant called Drago's, where they made the most delicious char-broiled oysters 4. Mardi Gras, of course, and...

An insider's two cents...
Many people are in an uproar about the status of aide to New Orleans, myself included. It helps to get an inside look at some of the problems that run deep from an insider's eyes... I am born and raised in New Orleans. I, too am ashamed of the way things have played out in my home town. First of...

More Good News after Katrina
1. My step-sister and two of her children who were unaccounted for called to say they are okay. 2. My son got the job. Although it is less hours and lower pay than he's used to, it is better than nothing. Plus he can get to learn the area while making deliveries. 3. My daughter will get to volunteer...
