Two of the most devastating hurricanes struck the coast of Mississippi. How did we get so lucky!
Sunday, May 20, 2007
I just looked at the date and realized that I haven't posted. Viewers of my blog probably have become accustomed to just CLICK and there she is talking about everything. It's not unusual that I am tired, we all are. First we endured the horror of the storm and, for almost two years, we have been living it every second, every hour, every day. Whew! Of course we don't talk Katrina every day, we also have our daily lives to contend with To tolerate my bizarre neighbor and still remain christian in thought and action is something I have to wrestle with every day.There is good news, two lanes of the Bay St. Louis (not Bay of St. Louis or St. Louis bay) bridge are now allowing us to connect. Biloxi's bridge will probably have a couple of lanes open this fall. I kind of laughed a little as I wrote this as when we cross the bridges there aren't many places to go except the casinos. The way we pronounce names or precede the names of the bayous like Bayou Bernard, Bayou Cassotte come from our french heritage. Now what is not widely known, we may pronounce bayou as ba-you or ba-yo ... choosing the one that rolls more smoothly when spoken. For instance, I used to live in Bayou View pronounced Ba-yo View. Maddening, isn't it?Yesterday, we (Dave, Anita and Kids) went on a casual outing to the park The little girl in red is Yvonne.

Where's the Water?
The splashpad was great for the kids and I enjoyed watching but I also took the pictures below of new construction or progressive construction in Pascagoula.
I have been posting on blogger for three years now and have two other blogs which you will find a link to. I wrote on Hurricane Katrina for over two years and then decided to create another blog which gave me more options to speak about whatever I chose to. So, here I am with yet another blog which I think is the most important, especially for the times we are presently living in. The videos that I will post from time to time are hosted by Michael Voris of RealCatholicTV.com.
Welcome to my Site! I have been blogging about Katrina since November 2005. I returned to my hometown in Pascagoula, Mississippi May 2003 approximately 3 1/2 yrs. after the loss of my husband. I sold my home in Gulfport in 2002 and went home to my main residence in Lumberton with the intention of staying .. instead I prepared that home to sell too. On arrival in Pascagoula, I resided with my daughter and son-in-law for 2 yrs. before moving into my present home in Moss Point. One might say I was "hop-scotching" from one place to another. On August 29. 05, I stayed with the daughter and family and was to experience the most unbelievable happenings of a hurricane gone wild. Looking back, I am glad I was with them .. I would do it again.Because of the poor media coverage that Mississippi received, I began to blog and eventually started posting news and taking pictures of damage or new construction. In some peculiar way, my "hopping" around put me, as far as a home goes, out of harms way. The two homes I sold were both damaged from the hurricane but my present one survived.So ... if you should be lead to my site through a search engine .. please read as I talk about Katrina and the aftermath.
