With these down-home millionaires from Louisiana, there’s always somebody up to something that you can rest assured somebody else isn’t going to like.

In the 14 years we’ve lived in the U.S. we’ve spent most holidays alone.  The one year my parents did come for Thanksgiving, I had a scenario that looked a little like this…

Between homeschooling and the fact that my husband only needs to go in to the office two days a week, we’ve been blessed in that the last number of years the cold and flu bug seems to have skipped over our home. 

But this year our daughter got a job cashiering at a grocery store.  I don’t even want to know how many germs are on all the canned goods and plastic packaging she touches during each four or six hour shift.  *Shiver*
