Phone rang! Answered - "Hello." A young male voice said - "Hello. My company is calling to help you get stimulus money to pay off your mortgage on your home." Answer - "There is no mortgage on my home." He promptly hung up. So - his company wanted to "help" me? This is being reported to you as a warning - watch out fer them "Stimulus" offers. Gov. Bob Jindal is right in being cautious abut "Stimulus."

Nother thang don't make no sense to me is the "Leap Test." Only thang it does is to "Leap" over young folks who have achieved grades to get 'em up to Senior Status ready to graduate wid their classmates. Only - iffen they mess up on the "Leap Test" - they is denied "Graduation Celebration" - and treated poorly. Oh! They get a diploma. They have to take the test over. Now - who wrote up this "Leap Test"?
Thar is many dedicated, caring teachers in our Tangipahoa Parish School System. They all worked hard to bring these kids from first grade to senior status and ready to graduate - So - allow them a Graduation ceremony (which they have earned) and pitch out that "Booger Boo" of a Leap Test!

Wal! Ya'll! It's sho' nuff spring. In spite of weather that's winter one day and summer next. Dat's Louisiana fer ya! How come I say spring is here? 'Cause Ms. Dixie Woodall's wisteria is in full bloom. The sweet, smell of lavendar blossoms perfumes the air. 'Course the house has changed hands a couple of times since Ms. Dixie passed on. She wuz a blessed school teacher at Ella Strickland Grammer School fer many years. Her home on South Laurel Street is jes across the street from Amite High School (whar the old school usta be). The house may change hands - but it's still Dixie Woodall's wisteria blooming on the corner.
