Crawfish Crawfish Crawfish in Louisiana

Seems like all I hear now is where do you eat Crawfish. The style and craft of Crawfish cooking is passed down through families. So actually it is according to taste as too where you go. I am partial to Cormiers and Cypress Inn, just according to how I want the delicacy spiced. Do I want the spice to be placed on the critters after the cooking or during?

In my mind those are my picks. I am sure everyone will have their own suggestions....fast...and furious.

Art Crawl Tonight Downtown Monroe

Tonight's the 3rd year anniversary of the Downtown Art crawl. My friend Angie and I will be making our way into the galleries. Yes it is going to be hot , but I also know how much time each of these artists has put in towards making this a great show.

So we are going to dress in the coolest, air flowing clothes we can find and enjoy being out. Think of it as a spa night.

Make sure and go 'Upstairs" to see Arley and Anna's work and the top of the pen Hotel will be open.

Enjoy! hope to see you there.

Looking back to the past , Cadillac Kings Band and dancing

Last week my 14 year old; Katie went to her first homecoming dance at Neville. I watched all the getting ready and took as many pictures as I could and sent her out on her way.


I started looking over my old photos of my proms and homecoming and put the pics up on my facebook. I was amazed at how much we look alike! We always have had the same look, but in the prom pics it is so 'there'.

luckily I have a very secure husband and my old high school boyfriends wife is a good sport. Because being from Monroe of course once I put the picture up, I got remarks. Which brings me to write a little about my high school friend. Moving back to Monroe, after living in Las Vegas and New York State has been great, I do love Monroe. I realized I had so much in common with a lot of who I graduated with from Neville, several of us had kids late! So us-- old moms and dads now are all dropping our kids off at Lee and Neville.

Gerald and I started going to the Holidome and hearing the Cadillac Kings. Frank Fergurson and his band of musicians, including Pete Bailey and Walt Silmon are back to playing frequently at local places. The band is good and easy to dance too, it has a dance club following . I wish we were of that ability but my husband of 21 years and I just dance for fun. The band members all have a wonderful time playing the old rock n' roll and get the crowd dancing.

Long story short, if you miss the 70's and 80's and want a place to go, they are playing at the Holidome off and on in a smoke free environment . They will be back October 24th again and I am sure if you look around the room you will see the graduates of the 70's out among the tables.

If I shut my eyes and dream , I can see my daughter Katie now in her beautiful blue dress at homecoming dancing and think of how much fun it was to put on the white and red dress for my dance . Of course she did tell me about the "yuk" floor of the Neville cafeteria and I now remember that too! Oh well my memories are of course very sugarcoated!

Ramblings of a mom of a 14 year old, trying to be in the moment!

Brent Scott has come back into media

Heard that Brent Scott that was previously sales manager of Comcast cable sales / comcast spotlight has gone over to broadcast station KAQY and CW to sell. Scott was cut loose several months ago in a surprise move from corporate comcast to change their leadership across the state. They basically made team leaders instead of managers. Remember Time Warner / Love Comm had changes in ownership so this was part of the cost cuts.


Tryed to call Brent this afternoon just to congraatulate him but only got the voice mail for KNOE at 3pm. telling me they were closed during lunch. go figure.

We all missed Brent and his knowledge of media buying and what works!

so see guys , I do have a softer side!
