Everyone Can Help

Here at the Sainte Genevieve Winery we have contributed to hurricane relief in our own way. Our neighbor who also works with us has a daughter in Gulfport, MS. She came up to stay with our neighbor, and brought her two sons and her husband. We quickly put them to work (no one gets a break at the farm.) The husband fixed my modem in the computer at the farm, and one of the sons helped me one day in the winery.

They came over on last Thursday looking for work. I asked my neighbor's grandson if he wanted to start work that day and he said, "Not particularly." He was a security guard at a Casino, so he wasn't used to outside physical work, but he lasted a day and we paid him fair and square, and his dad too.

Luckily for them the other son went back today and found the house pretty much in tact, so they are going home on Thursday. We didn't donate to the Red Cross, but we did help this family.

I can't hardly watch any more of the misery on the t.v. about Hurricane Katrina. I did however get hungry for jambalaya and made Rachael Ray's version tonight for dinner.
