Three very relaxing days with the Laverty's, Lucy and Andy and the LSU Porch are always great, after ten days on the road, we just vegged, along with the vegging we enjoyed, gumbo, surf and turf and etouffe, home made apple cider, Son Adam made the gumbo, and we thank them all for holding back on the spices! We watched LSU (Louisiana State University) and the Saints right on the deck, football is not our forte, but with the right people  it can be interesting! Our one trip to the Wal-Mart will show why we come south, the prices,not just the Sun make it worthwhile, I bought 10 litres of wine and a two four, that alone would cost $140.00 at home, then I got a pie, pop, and ice. The total US was $56.00, add 25% for the exchange and we paid $70.00 Cdn for $140.00 of necessities, it costs half to live here compared to home!
