I find it very difficult to believe that NO has allowed thousands of dangerous convicts to escape, and sorry to hear that people would actually believe that. I do not blame anyone for giving pause to taking strangers in, but being from NO, I can assure you that the city has more decent people who do need help than what was shown on tv. Showing looters and thieves must make better ratings than showing the decent, bewildered, frightened people who are looking for a chance to get their feet on solid ground. I cry whenever I see my fellow Louisianians go through all this humiliation and anguish because the federal government has chosen to ignore the problem which destroyed this beautiful city. The govt. has known for decades that this would happen, but did not want to put out the money to prevent this disaster from happening. Now it is too expensive 30 years later. What a sad state of affairs and what a price we are having to pay for their bad choices.

Western Bluebird! It is a very generous act what you have done for that young man. You and your husband have opened your heart and home to welcome someone going through hard times. You have such a good heart and compassion!

Thank you Cecilia, we were so happy that he took us up on it. Like I said, it is good for our son, so we weren't being totally altruistic. Our son had stayed with each of his parents on different trips. He's a great young man and it is also nice to have people come and visit when you move to a beautiful town that you love.

You know, I really do like having teens around. The only problem is when they reach this age, and you can have a decent conversation with them, and they can pour their own drinks and wipe themselves...they're always out the door!! It is fun, though, talking to them about poitics and religion. They have so much to learn, but I respect their views and I know they will probably change as they get older. My husband has more trouble with the teens. He seems to forget being one, so he can't relate to them.

It IS interesting! When my daughter and her husband are her with their son, we have 11 "kids" ranging in age from 2 to 28. It makes the brain spin to turn from changing one kid's diaper, to handing car keys over to another! I can go from talking about Dora the Explorer to ordering a guitar for my son's band! and you can just imagine our food and cell phone bills...
