Dear Clare: I love traveling but my budget and schedule make it difficult to plan major trips. I was wondering what your favorite weekend and daytrip destinations are for someone who wants to experience the arts and culture of a new area —Bailey

First Day of School

Busy mornings, afternoons and evenings are the norm for many families with days full of work, school, extracurricular activities, social commitments and more. Finding time to pause and share a meal is often a priority that may remain difficult to achieve.

During the July meeting of James O. Hall Post 19 of the American Legion and Unit 19 of the American Legion Auxiliary, both from Jennings, American Legion Department of Louisiana 7th District Commander Glenn McFarlain (left) installed Post 19’s officers who will serve for 2021-2022. They are (from left to right) Darrell Landry (Adjutant), Tyler Schexnayder (Color Bearer), Jimmy Richert (Finance Officer), Mike Sanchez (Commander), Grace Dalton (Chaplain), Horace Naquin (Sergeantat-Arms) and Charles Burrell (Vice Commander). Not able to attend the meeting was Color Bearer Bill Caraway.

I approached the back door, and there they were: beautiful works of art, basking in the sun.
