John James Audubon Bridge

Here are some pictures of the bridge and right of way construction. This project is 2 years in and it is scheduled for completion in 2011.




The square converts are being put in because of the black bears in the area. The round coverts are too small for them therefore the square converts provide them with a more natural habitat.

Company Picnic 08

On May 10th we had our annual company picnic. Here is a pic of my dad and I at the picnic. It was a lot of fun. The weather was hot the beer was cold and from what I hear the crawfish were spicy!

Just an update...

Not a whole lot going on around here except for the building excitement about the LSU baseball team hosting a regional this weekend. I have not been this excited in a long time. These past few weeks have been a lot of fun!

Memorial Day weekend was nice and low key. Thursday night was girls night out...I think the bar tender tried to serve me Old Charter instead of Crown. Friday was rough...didn't feel too hot. On Saturday I caught Clayton's baseball game and did some shopping in Baton Rouge. Sunday I grilled hamburgers and invited the family over. Monday I took on the project of all projects. Washing the exterior of my home. It is days like these when you scrub the entire thing by hand you appreciate the size of it. Needless to say the day could not go by without a "Goofy Addie" accident. I fell while trying to reach the roof, scraped my elbow, bruised my foot and hurt my shoulder. It was beautiful, but that's what you get when you do dumb things.

Today is bridge construction day. I get to ride out to the construction site for the John James Audubon Bridge that will connect New Roads and St. Francisville. This should be fun. I haven't been on the site in a while. I hope to have some pictures to post when I get back.

Cinco de Mayo


I have not celebrated Cinco de Mayo in a long time. It was big when I worked and went to school in BR, but around New Roads it's not that big a deal. Well as part of my resolution to party like a rock star before I turn 30 (as if I'm going to stop partying like a rock star once I do) I had a Cinco de Mayo party. It was a lot of fun and plenty of Corona and Margaritas. I recommend the water melon margarita from Martha Stewart's website. It is awesome! We will definitely do this again and I can assure you I will not wait until next year to have another Mexican theme party.
