With my new occupation I must say that the art of communication has been key in success.
I found myself immersed in a world of sudden new languages even though some could still be referred to as the English language. There have been times when I have wanted to stop a child in full speech and question if in fact the figurative language he is using might be inappropriate, and then I think again. And yet still I remain fascinated by the way communication is key in the lives of those around us and how it builds our self-esteem.

With plenty of rainfall over the past weekend, and with more predicted soon, the Washington Parish Burn Ban has been lifted.
The lifting of the ban was announced on Monday by Parish President Ryan Seal.
The ban has been in effect for almost a month. For the most part residents were cautious about outdoors burning, but there were a few serious woods fires.
Officials have expressed hope that the dry conditions are now behind us. But even with the lifting of the burn ban, it is hoped that everyone will always be cautious and careful when burning outdoors.

Hello Everyone! Now that the time has changed we have more daylight / longer days. Initially we might feel that we are losing an hour of sleep, until we come to the realization that in exchange we’re gaining an hour of daylight. I love Daylight Savings Time. I love the longer days. I hope you enjoy them too.

Hello friends! I hope you had a great weekend. My family and I attempted to go to the Slidell St. Patrick’s Day Parade, but due to rain we decided to skip out and just spend the day together. We are hoping to make one of the other Irish or St. Patrick’s Day Parades or activities coming up.
Please remember the Fire Ban is still in place and check Facebook, with the fire dept or the news for when it will be lifted.

Hello again everyone. I hope you all had a great week. Thank the Lord for the good and well needed rain that we received last week. On Sunday the 8th I poured 4 inches out of my rain gauge. Not sure if that will lift the "burn ban" or not, but in any case, please be careful with burning trash, leaves, etc.
Also it's that time of year for all the yellow stuff called pollen.
So, did you all get used to this new time yet. I think I'm still sleepy from losing an hour last Saturday night.
