A Chance Encounter, A Determined Community

Body
Is life serendipitous? My answer could be yes. Last Thursday, I stopped at Taco Bell on Judge Perez Dr. to get a quick bite before going to the big press conference at the Council Chambers. As I was ordering, a voice from behind said what are you doing here? I turned around and recognized the person. It was Lt. Governor Billy Nungesssor of all people. We ordered and he was kind enough to treat me to my late lunch. I would not have guessed the one to one I was able to have. I now understand his busy day as our ambassador to Louisiana Tourism. As we had lunch, he checked his schedule, rehearsed his talking points for the press conference, and even completed a phone radio interview. Funny, Taco Bell was a quick meal and a quiet place for this busy politician. I was even able to tell him about the new Parish Council and President and a very positive note for our future. He listened with a sincere appreciation of the St. Bernard community. I told him about the planning of a new festival to occur in the Parish celebrating the Sicilian heritage in the region, late May. I did have to thank him for the chance opportunity to speak with him. If Louisiana only knew how hard Billy Nungessor works promoting our state and the level of sincerity, he does it with. St. Bernard has a good friend in “Billy.”

Gaining New Ground in Louisiana With the spring planting season right around the corner, I’ve been spending my evenings cleaning seeds that I saved over the past year, getting it ready to go in the ground or share with others. Many longtime gardeners save seed to keep their favorite vegetables and herbs going from year to year.
