Windows Wednesday

A view of one of the cabins at Fountainbleau State Park in Mandeville.

We stayed there in 1988 for a week and it was fantastic. Fully furnished, each cabin has a screened-in porch. Unfortunately the cabins were badly damaged by Hurricane Isaac and won't be repoen

This clip comes from a late 1980s TV how called Sunday Night (AKA Night Music) hosted by American saxophonist David Sanborn and English pianist/singer/composer Jools Holland. The latter is joined by Dr. John for some "four-hands" boogie woogie piano.

According to Sanborn** the "precise fingering and split second timing" required by such a duet make it "one of the most demanding and dangerous pieces of music to perform".

Giving Thanks

Taking an idea from New Orleans blogger, Glenn, I would like to make a list of everything I am thankful for this year.

- My husband and best friend. He knows me and loves me and takes care of me. And believe me, I can be a handful at times.

- The sense of sight. I am amazed everyday by things I see: the color of a cloudless sky, the beauty of a rose and the sweetness of the doves that gather in our backyard.

- My pets: a Lab, 3 mature cats, 2 kittens and a squirrel. They keep me laughing - and sometimes cursing.

- I'm grateful to be born at a time when the technology changes at lightening speed.

- Chocolate

- My friends and family. Thanks to Facebook, I can converse with my sisters much more often than before. My friends are
always ready to help when it's needed and for that I am eternally grateful.

- I am thankful for a friend that asked me to work for her in a flower shop. It's an awesome job, one I really love!

- My health. It's been up and down the past year, but right now I'm feeling good and am grateful for that.

- My proudest accomplishment: my daughter.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!

Scuzzbucket of the Week

Her name is Sophia Body, aged 28. Sophia is facing charges for attempted murder and aggravated battery. She admitted on questioning that she beat the 82 year old for tapping her car lightly as he pulled over to assist her.

“Yeah, I pulled his a** out of the car and beat the f**k out of him.”

Body and a friend flagged him down for some reason, but he accidentally bumped one of them with his vehicle.

The man apparently did not realize that his vehicle had bumped one of the women, neither of whom were injured in the incident. He told police that the women appeared to need help, so he pulled over to assist them. But when he parked his car, he was dragged from the vehicle and attacked.

Body is being held on $2 million bail.
