After the Flood of 2016, my parents got on the waiting list to get their house raised. It has been a LONG process and as of August 5th, we are in the works of getting it completed! If you have seen our Facebook pages, or driven by the house, you have seen the holes being dug, the dirt, and “things?? in the yard. It has been an experience so far and we can’t thank everyone enough!
Our slab house has had holes dug out around it to the point where men can work and crawl around underneath the house. (I for one could NOT do that, but it is cool to watch) We are told when they get to the point of doing the actual lifting, it will take 3 days. We will be going up 5 and a half feet and should NOT have to worry about the house flooding again.
Once everything is completed, I will make sure I have permission to tell the entire story! Let me tell you, I think it is definitely a story to tell!
Enon Elementary School has had a great start to the school year. We love our Enon Eagles, both new and “old” and hope they have a great year.
Our Eagles are fundraising now through September 2nd. September 22nd will be the Event Prize Date. Yearbook pictures will be on August 27th. August 29th will be $1 jean day.
Free School Bus Driver Training Classes begin September 8th at 4:45 pm and will be held at the Washington Parish School Board Office. There will be 5 evening classes.
Don’t forget September 1st is a school holiday for Labor Day.
Remember the Enon Library has stories, fun, and snacks each Thursday after school.
There will be a Voter Registration Event at the Enon Library on September 3rd from 1 pm to 3 pm.

Enon Baptist Church will have a Churchwide Game Night on August 30th. We will also be having a Yard Sale and Fall Festival on September 27th. The Youth of EBC are selling T-shirts as a fundraiser for the month of September. Our goal for our Georgia Barnette Louisiana Missions Offering is $1,200.
James and I along with the girls went to The Lucky Rabbit over the weekend in Hattiesburg, MS. The girls and I love looking around there. I just love the nostalgia of the place. We were able to see the Golden Girls set, Wednesday, and Stranger Things. We had lunch at Crescent City Grill, and it was really good.
I hope you all have a fantastic week. I will have more information about the raising of mama’s house coming soon. If you have any exciting information about upcoming reunions, birthdays, weddings, showers, etc, just let me know, I would love to put it in my column. Stay as cool as possible! Until next time…..
