To New Orleans, With Hammers
Almost five years ago, Hurricane Katrina descended upon New Orleans, killing 700 people and doing $81 billion in damage as it flattened homes across the region. Even now, so many seasons later, some homes have not been rebuilt. But a few more of them have been repaired, thanks to the Youth Group at Our Lady [...]
OLL Plans Oktoberfest
October is still more than two months away, but you might want to put this note on your calendar: On Saturday, October 16, Our Lady of the Lake will be holding an Oktoberfest. The church is billing this as the biggest party OLL has ever had, and it certainly is shaping up that way. There [...]

Locals Help U.S. Defeat Canada
When we wrote about the Verona connections to Olympic hockey last week, we noted that the U.S. is a young team and Canada was favored to win the gold. So much for handicapping.

Nursery Schools: Our Lady Of The Lake
I’ve never attended a Catholic school so my final preschool visit to Our Lady of the Lake Preschool was a new experience. While I’m not sure of what I was expecting, I certainly was not disappointed; in fact, I was pleasantly surprised. I attended OLL’s final open house on February 2. I was impressed with [...]
My Search For A Nursery School
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to the start of nursery school for my two-year-old. Not because he’s a genius and needs to have his IQ tested with play-doh and glue, but because I’ve been here twice before and it’s best for everyone. While we’ve enjoyed many easy pajama mornings [...]
