Hi Sandra, though I no longer live in Louisiana, it has imprinted itself onto my soul. I no longer live there, but I return at least twice a year to absorb its energy.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will keep them in my file for future reference when we need new material as our books evolve. ESL is always a difficult area to work with especially when it comes to finding reading material that is relevant and interesting for the students yet readable.
