Windows Wednesday


This is one of the stained glass windows hanging in St. Genevieve Church in Bayou Liberty

According to an elderly parishioner, these particular windows hung in one of the original St. Genevieve Churches circa 1852. This lady remembers going to church not via horse or car, but by paddling up Bayou Liberty

A new LOW

I have been caught by some of the "headlines" from the satirical website The Onion . They are usually well-done, witty and really do catch you doing a double take

But the Onion reached a new low in internet blogging when they referred to Beasts of the Southern Wild's child star, 9 year old Quvenzhan Wallis as a cunt. She's 9 years old. Some one - perhaps a 18 year old drunken college student - decided that this was an easy thing to do to make other 18 year old college students laugh.

I have to admit I turned the Oscars off before the opening monologue was done due to the sophmoric comments made by the 'host' Seth McFarlane. Then I realized that this person is responsible for the show "family guy" or whatever it's real name is. I watched the program once. It's sophmoric. It's the first word I come up with. Most older people (i.e. over 50) don't get into this kind of humor. It's so ......... teenaged, 20-something. I can't identify with it.

Stooping to calling a 9 year old girl a cunt is the lowest of low.

Sure they "apologized" for it. But they really didn't mean it. To them it was funny.

Glad I'm not them.

Bayou Beauty



I was lucky enough to have my camera with me on this day in March 2007.

The Sun Room


The past several weeks have been more gloomy than sunny. The ground is saturated and it's difficult to play with my "throw the ball" Labrador in the yard without him becoming a muddy mess. So I improvise and we play ball in the house, which entails using nasty, slimy balls that leave snail trails on the floors. I refuse to wash the floors until this rainy spell is over because it would just be a waste of time.

To help pass the time during these gray days, I decided to spend some time in the Sun Room and spruce it up in anticipation of a sunny Spring. So I introduce you to my Sun Room through pictures.


This is the entrance to my room of windows.

This stunning seashell hanging was purchased in Biloxi before Katrina.


I have collected so many shells and driftwood, I decided that the Sun Room would have a "beach" theme.



After years of not having enough space, I have found a place for all my suncatchers!








This beauty was created by New Orleans artist of found object folk art Lance Vargas




The driftwood is safely tucked away from the dog!


This piece - found in Fountainbleau State Park - looks like a gator


An homage to our last trip to Dauphin Island


This piece was found in my husband's mothers house - a minnow trap. I'm looking for a spot to display it


I found this stool/table on Overstock dot com. Made in Vietnam, it's real slices of wood


Big Sam approves of the new cushions.

I can hardly wait for the warmer, sunnier days of Spring to let this room shine in all her beauty!

A Trio of Scuzzbuckets

I had reverted to doing the "Scuzzbucket" thing on a monthly basis, but it must be that time of year when people do crazy, ugly things. There were two animal abuse incidents today. In Evangeline parish, these two scumwads admitted to sexually attacking their dog, a Siberian Husky named "Nyla."

Behind bars are Joshua Granger (above, left) and Nathan Wells (above, right.)

The Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office issued the following news release about the arrests:

On February 3, 2013, Louisiana State Police along with the Evangeline Parish Sheriff office conducted an investigation of Joshua Granger of 1628 Ash St. in Pine Prairie and Nathan Wells of the same address. During questioning, both Wells and Granger openly admitted to having sexual contact with a female dog every time the dog would come into heat. The dog was picked up by the humane society and both subjects were arrested on Crimes Against Nature, both subject were booked into the Evangeline Parish Jail with a bond of $7,500.00, both subjects are currently out of jail on the bond.

Scuzzbucket number three is from Slidell, where I reside.

This pig of a human being - Christina Stewart - was the owner of "A Jazzy Dog" grooming Salon.

From WWL-TV, here is some of the story:
The 42-year woman has been booked with cruelty to animals, according to a release from the Slidell Police Department.

Near the end of January, Stewart became the target of a joint investigation by Slidell Police and the Animal Control Division for Slidell.
Seuzeneau said the investigation was launched after “two employees came forward to file an official complaint against Stewart citing severe animal cruelty allegations. The witnesses stated that Stewart would frequently slam the dogs onto the grooming table and proceed to choke them with a leash. During one occasion, Stewart aledgedly hung a dog in the air causing the animal to go into a seizure. In other instances, Stewart would grab a dog’s face and would slam it into the grooming table, or would strangle the dogs,”.

As investigators were looking into the allegations, a woman who worked for Stewart for less than a day came forward with additional allegations of animal cruelty.

The woman was asked to show her grooming skills on an older dog. “The potential employee was attempting to groom the dog, but the dog refused to stand up on the grooming table. Stewart interjected and said, 'Watch this. If they won’t stand, this is what I do,'" said a statement from Seuzeneau. "Stewart then picked up the elderly dog and slammed him on the grooming table multiple times.

This sickening behaviour is unnatural, abhorrent and cruel beyond belief. I wonder how these animals sleep at night. No, they are not animals, they are the lowest scum on earth. Their time is coming.

Scuzzbucket of the Month

That would be Joe Rickey Hundley, 60, who is no longer employed by AGC Aerospace and Defense, Composites Group. in Oklahoma


Hundley was on a flight from Minneapolis-to-Atlanta, set to land at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on February. 8. He was sitting next to Jessica Bennett and her 19-month-old son, who began crying as the plane started to descend.

"Jonah starts crying because he's feeling the pressure in his ears," Bennett told ABC News.

Bennett, was seated alongside Hundley, told FBI agents that she tried to get her son to stop crying when Hundley "told her to shut that ['N word'] baby up."

"I said, 'What did you just say?'" Bennett said. "And he was so drunk that he fell onto my face, and his mouth moved over to my ear and he said it, just directly into my ear."

The 33-year-old mother then says Hundley slapped her son in the face.

"When I had looked at Jonah's face, he had, his eye was swollen…and it was bleeding," Bennett said. "I was just scared to death."

Here is a video of the story from abc news:

Windows Wednesday

I blame the weather and pure laziness for my not posting this when it should've been posted.

Anyway, here's a shot looking down a passageway in Fort Pike, Louisiana.
