House Raising in Hurricane Country is Serious Business

The front plate says "Praise the Lord", which is why it says serious business.  This is a friend's house and  it is the biggest disaster you can imagine.  The truck belongs to Swamp Boy so called by my mother and her friends because his relatives in real life are in the show Swamp People. He is fond of saying, "Anythang to make you happy, little lady."

Published

A family friend self published her new book in Amazon's Create Space. Her child calls the sun "Hot Moon". My Mom bought a copy and is mailing it to us.  I can't wait to read it. The author, Jennifer Bogart, has recently started Under the NOLA Moon, a blog about her new life in New Orleans.
