If you are curious about what’s happening with your homeowner insurance on new policies watch this news brief from WAFB.

Governor John Bel Edwards is calling lawmakers back to the Capitol next week in hopes a special session will resolve the looming problem of insurance companies leaving the state, and those staying pricing folks out of their homes.

OK, so I know this is might seem early, but I've started thinking about Christmas presents!

One of my favorite places to shop is the monthly Baton Rouge Arts Market downtown. The Baton Rouge Arts Market is held the first Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. - noon in conjunction with the Red Stick Farmers Market at 5th and Main streets in downtown Baton Rouge. The Saturdays between Thanksgiving and Christmas they have it every Saturday!

See you Saturday!

There are several golf courses in the Greater Baton Rouge area. My husband plays at least a couple of times a week. His favorite public course is probably Santa Maria: https://golf.brec.org/courses/santamaria/
But he'll be the first to tell you, there are plenty of options! If you're a golfer, Baton Rouge is a great place to be!

The opening hole at Santa Maria is a challenging par 4. At 420 yards, a lengthy tee shot is needed to have a manageable approach to a green guarded by bunkers, front and back. Parring here is a great way to start your round.
