Hello, I’m Veronica
The sky is not completely dark at night. Were the sky absolutely dark, one would not be able to see the silhouette of an object against the sky.

Houma Summer Fun Kids Day
Yesterday I visited Houma to participate in their Summer Fun Kids Day in the Houma Civic Center. It was nice to get away from the heat that usually comes with the festival/market territory. This was my first time driving south of New Orleans in a really long time and I had another great adventure. Check out some of the pics below…

London gals, Memphis, MLK Jr., “Just For Girls” & Pittman Elementary!! #FullWeekend
This weekend I had a full plate. I visited Memphis, TN and did two readings in New Orleans right before I hit the road. I always have a great time on road trips because I get to see things that I’ve never seen. It’s also an opportunity for me to get some downtime and a lot of work done. During my trip to Memphis I visited the Civil Rights Museum and saw where one of humanities great leaders was murdered, learned a lot more about the Civil Rights Movement in America, visited the National Ornamental Metal Museum and went to a drive-in movie for the first time. I had a great time but before I left New Orleans, I had the pleasure of reading to two summer camps, “Just For Girls,” which my niece attends and another camp at Pittman Elementary. Both groups were fun and I enjoyed reading and giving out a few books as well to the kids who paid attention and could answer questions about the story in the end. I also met two very nice young ladies from London on Thursday right before my trip. I’m always amazed to learn how and why people end up in New Orleans and their story was just as interesting as the rest. My secret goal is to get them to live in New Orleans for good and if I know New Orleans, I’m sure it won’t be TOO hard to convince them. I’ll let you know how it works out..

“The Little Who Dat Who Didn’t” in Storyland
Last Friday, on my lunch break, I went out to Storyland to read to some of the kids who were in City Park. I was excited about reading in Storyland because my niece really loves to go there and her uncle made her proud by giving a great read aloud rendetion of my favorite book, “The Little Who Dat, Who Didn’t”. It was a little hot but everything went well.
Everybody thank Mr. David Coleman for the wonderful photos:
