A Father’s Day, a Birthday, and the Meaning of Home

Sunday was a day with a double meaning in our house. It was Father’s Day and my daughter’s birthday – the first time those two days have ever shared the calendar.And yet, it’s the first year she doesn’t have a father to celebrate.There’s something heavy about that. Something unshakable.

My dearest swampies, you must be sweating your thin skin right off. I know Old Hardhide sure is hot, even though I’m designed for southern heat. Perhaps I’ll escape the sun for some time on Friday and attend the Singer Songwriter Night at Crescent Lounge in Ponchatoula.

Green Wave Baseball got their first two wins of summer ball last week, defeating Lakeshore on Monday 10-2 and defeating Refuel Varsity 4-1 on Tuesday. Against Lakeshore, a five-run seventh inning highlighted by a bases- clearing double from Gage Walker helped propel the boys to a win.

Back in my day

Our Wild, Wild World

Pleased to meet you!I think there is a saying that goes something like, “April showers bring May flowers”, or something to that effect. Another thing April brings us is baby sea son for wildlife.

Hello to all my lovely swampies! Old Hardhide sure does miss you all for the six days that I’m not gracing you with the wisdom of the Hide. But I know that you know that I will always be back to enlighten you and enrich your day.
