My Letter to the St. Tammany Parish President

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 [...]

Friday Jambalaya

* to get you in the mood for the holiday spirit – here is a game that the monsters always find amusing. Nothing like kicking a Sugar Plum Fairy to make your day. * another family favorite is to shake the kids in the snow globe – it never gets old at this house. * [...]

Teenagers Gone Wild…in Mandeville

Please e-mail gretaperry@gmail.com with tips regarding the crime done to my neighbor’s property over Thanksgiving. If you wish to remain anonymous, you’ve got my word. Someone is talking about it or bragging about it on MySpace. The vandals need to be held accountable for their actions and their parents need to know what they did. [...]

Wii=coal=what my kids are getting

Fercryingoutloud – don’t make me call Worst Buy or speak to any of the game store drones anymore!!! UGH!!!! Just deliver the freaking Wii to my doorstep and I will quietly hand you a check for the face value of it plus a tip. Not double the price, not triple, just the $250 plus a [...]

Do as I say, not as I do

This is my own little op-ed with incessant ramblings. Hey, give me a break, I’m a blogger (not a journalist) and you have to bare with me while I piece together the random jumbled thoughts that the hamster in my brain is generating! Can you see the surprised look on my face when the world [...]

Where are all the fans?

Bummer the Hornets lost, but we had a blast at the game! Thanks Matt Biggers for the fabulous tickets! Now I have a tired crabby kid who missed the bus! Too hard to do games on school nights.

Join me at Kiss My Gumbo for a “Greta” version of the Hornets whooping the Timberwolves. I won’t promise any play by play stuff – but will give you what I can. You’ll be able to chat live with me and the other fans too. Should be fun!!!

Forget the Wii, they’re getting lead toys!

Reality has reared its’ ugly head again and I want it gone- NOW! I won’t even remind you how may days until Hannukah (I’m Jewish and can spell it any way I want -LOL), Christmas and Mardi Gras. Let’s face it, you know when you blink they will have come and gone and you will [...]
