B&N Diner
Every time I drive by here, I remember the first time I had it. I honestly went in not expecting much. But man, was I wrong. You don’t know what you don’t know I guess.
If you’re from a small town like I am, it has that small town diner feel where everyone is a friend. And if you’re a fan of breakfast foods, you have to take advantage of the all day breakfast menu. Go ahead and get that half oder gravy combo with some French toast🍽️



Eli Lilly, founder of the pharmaceutical giant, got his start as a 16-year-old apprentice at which Lafayette business?
Come back Friday and see how you did🤝

Meet Elisa
Elisa is a 1-year-old sweetheart who’s been with us since November 16th, 2025. She’s the perfect mix of cuddly and playful. When she first arrived, Elisa was a bit shy and unsure, but she has come so far and truly blossomed out of her shell.
She loves sharing her toys with her people and is always down for a game of fetch. Elisa is also a biggg treat girlie. Snacks are definitely the way to her heart! Whether she’s playing, showing off her toys, or soaking up affection, Elisa is ready to be someone’s best friend.
Elisa is looking for someone who can look past how she may act in her cage and give her the chance to open up because once she does, her goofy, loving personality really shines. She is also dog-friendly, but we would not recommend her going to a home with cats.

Pond Life
This Raineybrook home has a fireplace in the bedroom (and one in the living room). Plus, a basement with its own garage. In all reality, this is just a man cave that hasn't accepted its true destiny yet.
This bad boy has 5 beds/4 baths in 4,700 square feet. The kitchen is 20x20, which is so much room for activities. There's a sunroom, a covered porch, and a private deck on the pond where you can drink your coffee and or noodle for catfish (if you don’t know what that is, imagine using your hand as bait to catch catfish).
It’s listed at $990K which is down from $1.1M last winter, so someone's ready to negotiate. One look at this place and you'll start mentally selling your current furniture.
