The council should apologize for wasting all our time and the time of the 2 truly qualified applicants that were there- Mr. Glen Runyon and Mr. Ray Bass. [...]

The Mayor of Mandeville, Eddie Price, resigned Friday, October 10th at a 4:30 press conference. There were no apologies as it is not his M.O. I still feel so terribly for the policemen that lost their job as a casualty of him and you would think he would at least owe them a public apology. [...]

The Original Krewe of Orpheus rolled last night in Mandeville and hubby had a fabulous day, beginning with golf at 8:30 and ending after 11 with the end of the parade in walking distance from our house. My curiosity got the [...]

Skydiving, rock climbing, climbing to the top of the Swiss Alps, skiing down a black diamond were all exciting, but were not comparable to the 3 hours I rode in the Krewe of Eve last night. Though I continue to preach to people that they must experience Mardi Gras at least once in their life, [...]

Friday the 13th is whenthe Krewe of Eve (women’s parade) rolls in Mandeville. This is my first time riding and I’m so excited. I have so much to learn, but Yoda Debbi (she invited me in) is teaching me the ropes. The best tricks she taught me is how to save money. Since I [...]
