HOLIDAY WITH RESPECT!

As the weekend approaches, we must take time to remember who have died serving our country. It is a great time to honor our veterans and famous Americans. Take time to honor the flag as well. We all take our freedoms for granted. Sometimes, it is the threat or the idea that our freedoms will be challenged, do we then, take notice of how lucky we are to be AMERICANS! REMEMBER, WE ARE THE HOME OF THE FREE—BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!

I am one of the first to say, I get so wrapped up in the holiday and only think about the cooking aspect of it. Seldom, do I stop and think of why we are really doing this gathering. I think since 9/11, we all tend to do a little better and stop and pay homage to those who help make our lives as normal, as normal can be, in these times.

If you are in the area, of OPELOUSAS, take time to go and visit the NATIVITY BUILDING on the COURTHOUSE SQUARE. Local artist, A.J. HEBERT created the most magnificent wooden panels, depicting the AMERICAN FLAG! The WALKING LADIES are most grateful for his contribution. We will leave the panels through the summer and probably up until LABOR DAY! Check it out!

“21” YEARS AGO—like it was yesterday! Our daughter, CHARLOTTE married AL! What a wedding and what rain we had! You know the saying, “RAIN ON A WEDDING DAY, MAKES THE KNOT TIGHTER!” Trust me, their KNOT is very tight. We could of used NOAH’S ARK the night of the wedding. Would not change a thing! Most fabulous and memorable day for all involved! Here we are with those 3 beautiful GRAND PEEPS, AVA GRACE, AIDAN AND LUKE! No amount of rain can take away the happiness they have or shared with us all!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY-ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY!
