Louisiana High School Environmental Film Fest Contest Opportunity
Sometimes folks looking for help in getting the word out about their projects or events email asking me to spread the word. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. It all depends on the project, its agenda, and the worthiness of the end goal. Because this group from UCLA has now teamed up with LSU…
Swamp People Odds and Ends
Well, it’s that time again. The final episode of Swamp People aired last Thursday night, with R.J. and Troy battling it out for the “King of the Swamp” bragging rights. Although there was never a big to do made over which one actually holds the title, the show would have us believe that both men filled their 500 alligator tag quotas. And if they did, well, good for them.
Airboat Adventures continued . . .
After reading all the comments/questions on the previous post, I see the need for a little more explanation! This was only a 2-seater airboat, but we stuck Termite right in front of me on the bow. D.R. and I were doing some exploring, and of course Termite refused to be left behind! And LilSis might…
Hooray!
After two wetland tours with junior high and high schoolers, high winds, and rough seas, I am elated to shout to the whole wide world: NO HEADACHES TODAY! I feel human again. This may or may not be so good, but I have my appetite back, as well. Now, what am I going to do…
Plastic Bottles and Prehistoric Fish
Gone are the days when his ancestors stalked buffalo on the Louisiana prairies. Gone also are the days they used tomahawks to slay their supper. But Houma Indian, Rickey Verrett, still stalks his prey and still wields a hatchet on a regular basis.
Camp Dularge goes artsy fartsy!
What do the once dull, panel-covered now revealed and gorgeous beadboard walls of Camp Dularge need to enhance their beauty? How about some original artwork? My friend and fabulous artist, Ellen, was very open to the idea of displaying some of her original artwork and prints on the walls of the camp. Because her pulp…






Great pictures!! I love the picture of Miah relaxing in the swing.
Fall, Fairs…fun times… kids all ages!
I’ve never seen a kid so completely relaxed on a moving ride as Miah! He has some serious coolness goin’ on
Tilt-a-Whirl! I love the tilt-a-whirl, and it looks like the boys did, too!
looks like they had a blast!
Hey, I’m sending your information to a friend who has moved to Louisiana. She homeschools and I think your tours, etc would fit well into her curriculum, Wendy.
Oh, that sounds great Sue!!! I’d be glad to help in any way I can! Thanks! ( Did you know I homeschooled all my kids?)
I did not know that. I’ll pass that tidbit on too. I hope she decides to make the trip to your place. How cool would that be, to have a Joe’s Run girl meet my blog friend Wendy!
Gee, no warning???
I am getting really old but looking at carnival rides or hearing music still makes me very dizzy and ill.
Still thinking of being a carney when I grow up though.
Cooking trout this week.
Trout yum. Termite looked around at the “Carnies” hawking their games and said, “Wow, this must be a really depressing lifestyle. 🙁 “
I too love the Swing photo. Did he pose for you or is that his “style” of relaxing on this ride?
It was so cute!! Every time he came around to me, he was in a different pose!! There were four altogether I believe! He’s a real camera ham!
Love fairs. Popcorn, cotton candy, sausage on a stick, etc. and lots of lbs.
It has been years since I went to one. Can’t take that walking any more.
Looks like Miah was in his element! Bet he had a blast.
Wow our fair is in August and in Oklahoma that means it’s 104 degrees and 210 humidity, lol. The state fair was last week and it was beautiful weather. Looks like the boys had a blast.
Cuuute! The last two years when I’ve gone with him, the Tilt-a-Whirl is the only one I ride! (Always been my favorite carnival ride… I remember riding it with YOU! At Hamel’s Park, maybe?) Anyway, Miah and I can get that thing spinning something fierce! Love it. 🙂
You should have posted the other swing poses! *lol*
Now, I’m off to find your house post to see if I can find the pictures of your kitchen counters. I’ve been meaning to ask you who did them because I want new ones. Email me!
