You Can still Get Your Page at Storyteller.net

Being listed in the two major storytelling directories is critical to your success as a working teller. If you don't yet have a site, directories are a good way to have something to refer to while your site is being carefully considered. Some tellers like Tim Ereneta are doing just that. He forwards http://www.timereneta.com to his page with us. He has a Super Premium page with us, but you can at least get the idea of how that might work for you if you… Continue

Hurricane Gustav Recovery - 9-7-08 - Dianne de Las Casas

Friends: Today was our first full day at home since we evacuated from Gustav on August 30. The first good news I heard was that sewerage services in Jefferson Parish Westbank were restored.

Here is a picture of our fridge now. It looks brand spanking new a… Continue
