Tailgate Parties

With the Saints going to the Super Bowl (and deservedly so I might add) I thought I'd post this little story from dailycomet.com. Ironically it's set in Houma, LA (where my forthcoming young adult chapter book is set).

It reminds me of the church picnics that were are regular occurance on TV's Little House series. What a wonderful way to fellowship--commune.

HOUMA — The New Orleans Saints and religion go hand in hand. So when a member of a local Knights of Columbus group wanted to start tailgating at the group’s church on game days, the rest of the membership got onboard.

I'll be at my usual church Super Bowl Party on Feb. 7th. GO SAINTS!
