I got the nickname Peekaboo shortly after I began my career in the newspaper industry in 1981. Being in the advertising department, it seemed that I was seen practically every where. A few people started calling me Peekaboo because they said that they expected me to show up at any time and say "Peekaboo, I see you".

Let me get a few things out of the way before you get to know me better. It seems that I get asked the same questions over and over once people find out that I'm from Louisiana. Yes, there are still some areas in our great state where people have to go by boat to reach dry land to get to their car or truck so they can go to town. No, not eveyone here practices VooDoo or believes in it. Many people here do believe in and go to a treatuer to get a wart removed, a headache cured and various other ailments. No, I'm not a practicer of VooDoo or a treatuer, so don't write asking for a spell, a gris gris or a cure.

Yes, alligators do occasionally get disoriented and leave the swamp and end up in town. Not to worry though, the game warden quickly rounds them up and returns them to the swamp. No one ever gets eaten by one. In fact, we eat them. There is nothing quite as tasty as an alligator that is fried, barbequed or put in a sauce piquante. Enough of all that. Let's move on.

By the way, my name is Sherry and I'm Cajun. I am the mother of two very beautiful daughters. I am also a grandmother. My girls are the most important part of my life. I love them with all my heart and soul. They are my reason for living. If you'd like to see a picture of my beautiful Guardian Angel, my gorgeous Angelic Daughter, my precious Little Angel, my Newest Angel and me CLICK HERE.

I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It's a pretty cool place to live. The friendliest people in the world live here. Cajuns are just that way. They will go out of their way for others. The food is great here. There always seems to be a festival somewhere where people can "pass a good time at the fais do do".

All Cajuns like to have a good time and I am no exception. I get involved in a lot of local and international events. The one I enjoy the most is the Giant Omelette Festival held annually in Abbeville, Louisiana. For more information on it click here on GIANT OMELETTE FESTIVAL.

Perhaps you'll get to come to the Omelette Festival someday or maybe even the world famous Mardi Gras. What a blast Mardi Gras is! It's got to be the biggest and best party in the entire world. I thoroughly believe everyone should experience Mardi Gras at least once in their life. I feel very lucky that I live here and can celebrate it every year.

I was the publisher of the 1998 Louisiana Newspaper of the Year, the West Side Journal for four years. The newspaper is weekly publication carrying a Thursday date. I had a staff of four and was very proud of all the hard work my staff accomplished every week to produce the West Side Journal of Port Allen, Louisiana. I served on the Louisiana Press Associaton Board of Directors for three years. If you have any questions about newspapers in Louisiana you will find a link to the LPA web site below.
