Gratitude shown to those who serve the public certainly doesn’t have to be limited to one day a year.
However, the Rotary Club of Abbeville does set aside one day each year to offer a special thanks to the people who work to keep the community safe and sound.
On May 6, the club held its annual Public Servants Appreciation Day lunch at the Rec building at A.A. Comeaux Park. Members of the Rotary Club prepared and served meals to employees from the City of Abbeville, the Abbeville Fire Department, the Abbeville Police Department and the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Most South Louisiana home gardeners have started their planting. Some plants are already producing. Boo bought fresh cucumbers and tomatoes last weekend at Erath’s Grub Lot. I must say the tomato flavor was very close to my dad’s of years ago.
Often in summer, I get offers of fresh squash and zucchini because these plants are prolific. There are so many delicious ways to prepare zucchini that I never refuse them. A gardener’s household can not use all the veggies one garden produces.
