Another week has come and gone…We witnessed history in the making when Barrack Obama was elected as our next President last Tuesday…the first black man to become President of the United States!
This month I'm teaching computer classes at our Jeanerette Branch. The first one was on Wednesday. I hadn't been to the Jeanerette Branch before, so it was nice to get a chance to drive out there. There are two people who work there and it's smaller-It reminds me of the old Hyrum Library in a way.
There's a lady in my Branch who has wanted me to help her get started on her genealogy. She works on the weekends when I'm normally off, so we haven't been able to find time to get together. Well, I had some comp time accumulated, so I decided to take Thursday off and help her. I also went and got new tires put on my car and went to the fitness center to work out (I'm usually not home when it's open, so this is the first time I had an opportunity to use it!) I ended the day relaxing with a good book.
Saturday, I went to Baton Rouge with Tina and Natalie, for a Stake Auxiliary Training Meeting. I got to meet the Stake Primary presidency and learn more about how to do my calling. They fed us lunch and then we headed back home. Leaving Baton Rouge, the traffic coming into the city was backed up all the way to the bridge-There was an LSU game and people around here are die-hard fans…its crazy!
The Good: This week I finally got to eat all the southern foods I learned to love while growing up in Arkansas: fried okra, hush puppies, jalapeño cornbread, and sweet potatoes!
The Bad: I had another cockroach in my apartment on Sat.

What was the good book you curled up with? You know I am always looking for suggestions!
Yeah, LSU fans are DIE HARD. You wouldn't believe some of the stories!! And Saturday's game was HUGE because they were playing their rival ... so yeah, I imagine traffic wasn't fun.
Sounds like a fun week!
Hi Lonnie! Sounds like you are really enjoying Louisiana! I'm glad you are happy there. Guess what my new calling is in the ward? You guessed it, Primary Secretary! We'll have to compare notes sometime. It's much more work than playing the piano! We had an exterminator come to the library today; Ginny thinks there are too many flies. He found a hobo spider in the basement, but he SAID he killed it. I don't think I could handle the cockroaches. Have a good weekend! Jill
