As I dropped Eric off to play the jazz brunch for Thanksgiving I said as I always do “Play pretty for the people” (a nod to New Orleanian Louie Prima) and Eric replied “You mean for the *person*.” He is not expecting a crowd but I hope he’s wrong.

42 years ago on Thanksgiving morning while watching the Macy’s Parade on tv, I spilled a bit of hot tea close to the baby on my lap. I quickly stripped off his onesie and the combo of my nails & the cool air made the 3 month old laugh for the first time. Guess what I kept doing all day.

Cotton is no longer king in Louisiana. See how these farmers are fighting to keep it growing.
After decades of challenges, Louisiana farmers are harvesting their lowest acreage of cotton in state history.
Two brothers in Tensas Parish are among those continuing to plant the crop, despite little chance of making a profit. Their stubbornness has its roots in family tradition and an artist-like passion for growing.
