Shirley's Story
Life
Hi Ya'll: I'm finally back in a home with a yard !!! And it's 82 feet above sea level !!! Yea !!! "Katrina" was not a "lady" !!! After being in a FEMA "tin can" for 3 months I was lucky to find a 1 bedroom condo overlooking the pool in Diamondhead. I absolutely loved it there & was actually teaching myself how to tread water -- it's about time, huh ?? LOL But after 1 1/2 years there I became "claustrophobic" & missed my "space" & yard so I bought a house & am very happy here -- have made a lot of new friends & dance with the Diamondhead Dance Club performing once a month usually -- it's what I love to do !!! So, there is life after Katrina & it's good again !!! I sincerely hope that all my New Orleans & Slidell friends & former classmates are rebounding as well. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a Happy & Healthy New Year !!! Take care, Shirley DiGiovanni Brossette
A childhood memory I will never...Expand for more
forget is when Santa left me the best new baby doll & stroller for Christmas when I was 5 yrs old.
My first job was at FW Woolworth, Gentilly Woods, where I got paid meagerly to learn to be a responsible adult. What I remember most about it is working at all the different sections, the lunch counter being a real challenge.
My best friend would tell you I'm funny, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as quiet.
I work very hard as a paralegal for a real estate title company. I've retired twice but they won't let me stay retired !!!
My current age is 67. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be very old. I was so completely wrong.
Dancing rejuvenates me & makes me feel younger.
I always wanted to be a trapeze artist when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a ridiculous idea. As it turns out, they were soooo right.
I just hope old friends still remember me !!!
