Butte La Rose et Les Entourage

Bonjour!
Women protect your selves! When my daughter Blanche bought my Odyssey van brand-new from Moss Motors in 2000, with it came a remote key alarm. I’ve only had to change the battery a few times. That remote alarm was my warning this week when first time to happen to me, in midday, a man tried to break into my van. I walked up on him. I did not report the incident to the sheriff until next day.
I highly recommend you use one made only by the manufacturer of your vehicle because it is built-in and warranted. Before this van I owned a brand-new Toyota car. I had an alarm installed in Lafayette that did not last six months. All hours of the day or night the alarm would go off. So another one was installed again by the same people. It did not last either. They both were not cheap in price. This could happen to you.
Well, I often write about Mrs. Yola Courville. She was a second mother to me. She died last week and is buried in Catahoula. She is missed. Yola’s family loved and took care of her till her last breath, as she cared and loved them beginning with their first. She died in the same little house where she gave birth to her 13 children and a grandson she raised.
I admirably thank her daughter Eulamae and granddaughter Tammy for bringing her to her special day. She smiled and glowed with gladness accepting her deserved recognition for the “Oldest Female” at the Citizen Day in Catahoula. For the sighs of grief from her family as they walked down the isle, I had to turn my chair and look away so I could sing for her Mass and not cry too. The church was full with those who came for their last goodbye.
I like the time change. This is what once was. Thanksgiving next month, and then comes Christmas. Every one is very concerned about the new health care cost and taxes. What is happening to our world?
Emily Turner from NBC News-33 in Baton Rouge came by a while back to interview me about traiteurs. Someone recommended me to her. It is being aired on their station. Sometimes people will call me for prayer and say their medicine is not helping. But I say to keep on taking it because although those are different forms of healing, they need them both.
And now the food stamps are being cut from many families who need, especially our elders, but also the abusers. It is sad the innocent have to pay for the thieves.
Several years ago I was shopping at a local store meat department. There a woman was being served by the butcher. And for larger packs of meat than were in the meat show case. The woman was telling a few of us shoppers close enough to hear her say she buys selected and top choice meats with her food stamps. And she goes back to Franklin where she lives and sells for less than half price to a certain person she deals with every month. With no guilt of conscience saying that is her casino money. Her basket was plenty full which meant she had lots of food stamps and able to pay for that much.
She doesn’t shop the same stores every month even switching parishes – St. Martinville this month, New Iberia the next, Broussard the next and so on. She said no one will be suspicious. And she is not the only one doing this.
God bless America. Amètie à tout.
