Today we put up our Christmas tree. We had a fun time – though it definitely bears the mark of having been decorated by kids! But that's the beauty of it. We have our own special traditions associated with the tree – first the lights (me or Dave) and then the garlands (kids) and then the first ornament – the Elvis ornament.
Now, we aren't great Elvis fans, but a few years ago it was given to me by our parish priest for being willing to stand the embarrassment of helping with a sermon. So now, on he goes first. If you push his little button, he sings "Lordy, lordy, I feel my temperature rising…"
Then we put on all the other decorations – kids especially get to put on their own 'First Christmas' ornaments and ornaments they made. Dave and I put on the Bride and Groom Snowmen. We make sure all the ornaments on the lower branches are metal or plastic and can stand being knocked off by the cat. And then, finally, we put on the star.
In the book this comes from, there is a Christmas Angel ornament, and in this picture, the boy is letting his sister Angelina be the one to put it on the tree. It comes from the book The Christmas Angel by Abbie Farwell Brown, illustrated by Reginald Birch. It was published in 1910, and I found the e-book version of it on Project Gutenberg.

Accor Hotels provides a warm welcome to the LGBT community with their Rainbow Selection website.
A favorite among those who like both high-end and high-value, Rainbow Selection allows travelers to pick LGBT-friendly hotels across the globe.
Rainbow Selection has over 120 hotels in 29 countries, and is guaranteeing gay people the best possible price.
Janine Keller, Director of International Flows at Accor in Germany, told Gay Star News they had heard consistently from lesbians, bisexuals, gays and transsexuals they wanted to stay in gay-friendly hotels.
'The community – quite naturally – wants to be certain that they are indeed welcome in their "home away from home",' she said.
'For example, LGBT consumers want to avoid the awkward and unnecessary question at the check-in desk, such as "But you two gentlemen (or two women) would prefer two beds in your room, correct?"
'Rather, LGBT consumers want to stay in a location which actively and warmly invites them to stay in their properties.'
So bags are packed and ready to go, where should you fly to? We've checked out Rainbow Selection for where we're dreaming of taking our next holiday.
Just a stone's throw away from the lights of Broadway, and within walking distance of the best sight-seeing spots in New York, the Novetel Times Square hotel lets you experience life in the heart of the city.
Even if you're in London on business, this hotel will ensure you get enough time for leisure as well. The contemporary boutique hotel is located within walking distance of Tower of London, Big Ben, Shakespeare's Globe, St Paul's Cathedral and the London Eye. Phew!
How many times in your life can you pretend you're a showgirl called Lola? If sipping cocktails and relaxing on a renowned beach is your idea of fun, the luxurious Rio De Janeiro hotel will make you want to go loco.
Set in a beautiful location with bay views, this is perfect for when you would like a little sunshine with your stay. It prides itself on good customer service and its stylish, sleek, modern rooms.
In the center of the popular Hongquao district, there is a hotel ideal for business and leisure. While it offers restaurants, bars, shoping, the hotel offers 484 spacious suits all with panoramic skyline views. Anywhere you look, you're guaranteed a sky-high view.
Set in a radiant oasis, this hotel is set on a wide open beach surrounded by nature. Thai architect Lek Bunnag's inimitable architecture is enhanced by exclusive designs from fashion designer Kenzo Takada. It looks unforgettable.
If you would like to check out these hotels and others worldwide, check out Rainbow Selection here.
Oh my goodness! an amazing article dude. Thank you However I am experiencing issue with ur rss . Don't know why Unable to subscribe to it. Is there anyone getting identical rss problem? Anyone who knows kindly respond. Thnkxdeck de madeira para piscina porto alegre pasadena
This may be the most influential blog I have read my life ever and want to know more about other exceptional blog about buy backpacks online Nice detailed article hats off to the blog post.
I enjoy reading post that can make people think about the Hotel. I was willing to find such types of hotels to visit with family and make them feel comfortable. More often we would like to visit london bed and breakfast. As I heard lot about it and curious to enjoy such places and make my dream comes true.
The post was amazing and pleased to find this information. I remember those days of vacation in hotels in rishikesh
This is actually a wonderful news and its need more exposure than anything it date. its worth a read and thus should be passed on. your doing a great job by posting this. and nice clicks by the photographer windows 2000 support
I wanted to rent a small flat at some point, nothing fancy, just work related, something I could use to stay for a while. Still affordable in price, I could have never dreamed of something similar to what these pictures display above, yet the holder I found made it possible in an amazing way and I can tell I had a great experience working with them.
These beautiful locations remind me of the furniture store in Athens, GA that I have contracted to furnish my new home. I wanted something plain, relaxing, but elegant in the same time. I wanted to have the impression I can enjoy the luxury of seaside hotel, but still hold on to the coziness of my own home.

Long Shots in Research In Motion
By Pete Najarian, co-founder of OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- Research In Motion (BBRY) has been a great beta trade for some time, and option traders are looking for the BlackBerry maker to spike much higher.
OptionMonster's tracking programs Monday found some curious prints in the September 27 calls, which were bought for 22 cents. hat's a crazy high strike for a stock that closed the session at $15.61, up 3.93%.
These calls lock in the price where investors can buy stock in the smartphone maker. Because the options are much cheaper than the shares, they can result in significant leverage if the stock moves in the right direction. The September 19 calls were also active but much closer to the money.Apple (AAPL) was also in focus Monday with a gain of more than 3%. There is no comparison between these companies in most metrics, but they do have similar products in certain categories, and Research In Motion has frequently been an outperformer. In addition, Jefferies issued a positive note on the company Monday. Almost 120,000 calls traded versus 44,500 puts Monday, as its total option volume was more than triple its daily average. Najarian owns BBRY shares.

A Proclamation
His Excellency Governor Deval L. Patrick
Whereas On November 11th, 1918, the Armistice was signed in the Forest of Compiègne by the Allied Nations and Germany, ending World War I, "The War to End All Wars," after four years of conflict. Since that day, every November people from around the nation have gathered to honor our veterans; and
Whereas Since the Commonwealth's colonial days, thousands of men and women have served our country in defense of freedom and liberty; and
Whereas Currently, there are approximately 385,000 veterans living in Massachusetts; and
Whereas Today we are reminded of the great sacrifices and contributions our veterans have made to our country; and
Whereas We honor and salute those who served our country throughout the generations with honor, patriotism and courage; and
Whereas It is appropriate that all Massachusetts citizens remember the bravery of those who served their country, so that their dedication and sacrifices serve as a reminder of the cost of our freedom,
Now, Therefore, I, Deval L. Patrick, Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, do hereby proclaim November 11th, 2011, to be
Veterans Day
And urge all the citizens of the Commonwealth to take cognizance of this event and participate fittingly in its observance.
Given at the Executive Chamber in Boston, this first day of November, in the year two thousand and eleven, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the two hundred and thirty-fifth.
By His Excellency
Deval L. Patrick

Additional Coverage Special Report—Haiti
This story is just one article in our special report on Haiti's women's movement.
We'll be adding more stories in the coming weeks—for now, take a look at other articles in this series.
• Read an assessment of the earthquake's impact on Haiti's women's movement in Honoring the Ancestors.
• Internationally acclaimed author and memoirist Edwidge Danticat on her homeland, post disaster.
• View photographer Nadia Todres's powerful photo essay, Documenting the Lives of Girls in Haiti.

• Read the first story in this series, SPECIAL REPORT: Haiti, Women, and the Elections, which takes an in-depth look at women on the ground and the upcoming elections.
• Read World Pulse and Anne-christine d'Adesky's previous coverage on the earthquake, Holding Up Haiti: Women Respond to Nightmare Earthquake, published shortly after news broke of the devastating earthquake.
SPECIAL REPORT: Haiti—Why Vote for a Woman?
"On a political level, women are in a very important place in the economy of the country, but they are forgotten by the major parties."
Claire-Lydie Parent
- Comments (0)
- Recommended (2)
- Haiti: Help Women's Leadership Rise
"We want to teach women how to protect themselves from diseases, how to clean the water, to raise the children far from those diseases we can catch from water, from sex, from all of that."
Claire-Lydie Parent
Claire-Lydie Parent: The Mayor Kombit Party
Claire-Lydie Parent is the five-time mayor of Petionville, a charming, hilly suburb that sits above the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince. She recently put in a bid to be president, but was rejected by Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council—one of 15 candidates excluded, including Haitian-American musician Wyclef Jean. Parent protested that decision, but is no longer officially in the running. Married, and with two children, she heads the Konbit party, which was founded four years ago. For now, her main pulpit remains City Hall, where she plays a prominent role in daily civic and political affairs. Here, Parent explains why she seeks higher office and what her party offers to women.
What is the Konbit platform for women?
On a political level, women are in a very important place in the economy of the country, but they are forgotten by the major parties. At Konbit, we motivate women to become candidates and participate in all elections, not just for president, but for mayors and deputies too.
Our program for women is that the majority of Haitians are in the agriculture culture. There are many women in the country that are involved in commerce, on the streets, but to really aid the government, they need to cultivate the earth too. Right now, the women that work the earth don't have money to cultivate. We want to modernize agriculture. We want to have new material and equipment. We want to assist women by creating an agricultural bank, where they can buy credit to produce agriculture.
Tourism should also be developed, and the women should work within that—in the hotels, in the restaurants. We would like them to be managers, to learn to be chefs, and receptionists, and secretaries. We need technical schools.
Another thing is their health. We want to teach women how to protect themselves from diseases, how to clean the water, to raise the children far from those diseases we can catch from water, from sex, from all of that. We want women to be informed. This would also apply to women in prison. We want to assist them judicially, give them lawyers.
What are female voters looking for?
I think they want a change, but they don't want just a change in gender; they want a woman who can prove herself. Someone who can make change. That's why most of them want me to be president. That's why they elected me five times already as mayor of Petionvlle.
What does KONBIT offer to women that other parties don't?
What we offer that other parties don't is that my presence as mayor proves that women can occupy an important place within the country. For example, we are the only municipality (Petionville) that has a program for women in prison. We have a program of financial assistance for street vendors. We have two trade/professional schools for women. In school we prioritize that girls can go to university. [At Konbit] we have many other programs that interest women.
What are the most important issues to women?
Education. Academic development. That the involvement of women in the development of the country is important. It's about empowerment. [And] women should understand the Haitian laws.
Are women excited about the upcoming election? Will they participate?
They are not happy for many reasons: because most of them are victims from the earthquake, they are still on the streets, the economy is slowed down.... They are in trouble. They are not happy with the way they see the government and the CEP running the election. They are not happy because they see every time we have elections in Haiti, we have to beg for money to campaign. Too much money is spent on elections—they don't like that. They are not happy because they feel the way that these elections are coming—they smell fraud, corruption..
Why do you think you were rejected by the CEP?
They don't have a real reason, because a real reason should be based on something legal. In each term, you're supposed to have discharge (a legal certificate confirming an annual audit of spending by government officials), but it is done at the end of each term. My term is four years. It's not the first time I entered a race when I was still in power. Every year I spend money; they count and control it. To get the certificate, you're supposed to go to the court to verify this. I gave that paper, which was the same one that [other candidates] gave.
What are you telling your supporters about who they should vote for?
I would never tell them not to vote. But we should be there to denounce what they are doing wrong with these elections. They should stay there to fight with them [the CEP]. Life in Haiti is a fight—we must fight for everything.

Using the Dungeon Finder to level in a flash
The downside? While you're here, you'll be playing in a group of five -- typically a tank, a healer, and three DPSers -- and you'll need to learn how to play well in a group, which can be a bit different than playing solo. Though dungeons -- especially low level dungeons -- are easier than ever, there are some tips that will help ease your way. So let's take a look at what you need to hit the dungeons so you're ready to take advantage of that sweet, sweet Dungeon Finder XP.

Zweigart Belfast Linen Fabric
Zweigart Belfast Linen fabric is one of the most popular cross stitch fabrics. 100% linen and available in many colors.
Colors available from Yarn Tree site.
Belfast Linen is usually stitched over 2 threads. So even though Belfast Linen is 32 threads per inch, it stitches as though it where 16 count. Your pattern may say 'over two' (that is, stitch over 2 threads); or '2 by 2', or '2 over 2' (that is, stitch 2 strands of floss over 2 fabric threads).
The linen threads in Belfast Linen are intentionally uneven in diameter. In an unstitched piece of fabric this variation may look like flaws, but it is what gives your finished piece personality.
Beginner suggestions: Although not difficult to stitch on, linen fabric is usually not recommended for your first project (aida would be the best choice for a first project). Our Yarn Tree site has Learn To Cross Stitch In 5 Minutes instructions. There is also a video.
Alexander Avenue PO Box 724, Ames, Iowa 50010.

Bedroom Decor: In the Mood for Love
See how to transform your room for a romantic rendezvous

Banish Overhead Lights
Joslyn Taylor, the impeccably stylish mind behind the blog Simple Lovely, suggests flipping off harsh overhead fixtures and lighting your love nest with lamps outfitted with low-wattage lightbulbs. ("40 watts, max!" she says.) The paper shade on this floor lamp eliminates glare. Chose bulbs that are easy on your eyes and the planet—eco-mommy Micaela Preston, who writes for Mindful Momma and penned Practically Green, says compact fluorescent bulbs with 2700 Kelvins cast a soft, flattering glow.

From JK Rowling to Live Poetry Critique: The City Podcast 6
Three interesting podcasts on literature and beauty (or the lack thereof):
The Public Intellectual Christian: Dr. Micah Mattix joined us on The City Podcast to discuss what it means to be a public intellectual. Mattix, who is also a poet and critic, talks about the question of being accessible and evangelical to the appropriate extent in the public sphere. But this was one of my favorite podcasts for a different reason:
This podcast includes a debate between Dr. Holly Ordway, who is a proponent of traditional poetic forms, and Dr. Mattix, who favors more modern poetic forms. You'll also hear his answer to who the greatest living poet is.
Where Does Beauty in Literature Come From?
Our discussion with Dr. Micah Mattix last week did not feel complete. So we had him back for a second round of looking at beauty in literature. Many evolutionists try to argue that poetry, love, and our sense of beauty are the remnants of something that once had survival value. Dr. Mattix strongly disagrees, for if you explain love, haven't you explained away the very phenomenon of love? Are we the first generation in the history of humanity that does not do poetry for enjoyment?
This podcast – another of my favorites – is also notable in that we did an on-the-spot poetry reading and critique! I read Malcolm Guite's poem "In Medias Res" and Dr. Mattix responded. It was great fun and I hope also edifying for our listeners.
Also in this podcast: Dr. John Mark Reynolds exclaiming "Love, death, justice, and PANDAS!" Yes, there was context for that remark; listen to find out!
J.K. Rowling's Vacant Fiction: I've enjoyed Rowling's Harry Potter series very much, and so I was intrigued when her new "adult" novel The Casual Vacancy came out in 2012. Unfortunately, I soon heard enough comments from discerning readers to realize that this was not the book we'd been hoping for. Our guest on this show, Dr. Collin Garbarino, tackles the question of readerly betrayal as he discusses the book with me and Dr. John Mark Reynolds.
Dr. Holly Ordway is a poet, academic, and Christian apologist. She is the chair of the Department of Apologetics and director of the MA in Cultural Apologetics at Houston Baptist University. Her work focuses on imaginative and literary apologetics, with special attention to C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams.
Hi, I found this podcast very interesting but could not understand the name of the poet who Dr. Micah Mattix considers to be the greatest one alive. Could someone post it for me? Thanks!

Everybody should be aware of the moslem agenda — the ummah, the caliphate, their goal is to rule the world, to convert or kill all non-muslims. This is not a thing that should be taken lightly, yet the progs overlook all of the facts; they ignore the evil crimes of islam, they nurture it and coax it to grow.
This next generation will know nothing of the truth about islam, except for what we tell them.

In the deep end of the pool now, BFH. You and Pamela are very courageous. Praying for anyone's protection fighting a good and righteous battle. Psalms 91 (KJV) is a great comfort.+7
God bless you, Fur. And God bless Pamela and all she works with.
As you feel that it's safe to speak, please keep us informed. And let us know what we can do – write letters / email, call, send money (for those of us able), pray, pray and pray some more.+5
Oh, and what would Pamela think about working this up as a tee-shirt?+3
Religion of fece.
My jihad is to die trying for 72 virgins after blowing off my dick.
My jihad is to have bacon on my camelburger.
My jihad is to whip off a hijab so its wearer spins like a top.
My jihad is to kill islam with ridicule per Alinsky.
My jihad is to portray ragheads as ignorant fools, like we portrayed the Nips and Krauts in WW2 era cartoons, P.C. be damned!+2
My jihad is to come up with a one-syllable label for ragheaded goat-f_cking barbarian in order to enable said ridicule.+2
it would seem your "king" obama and the "princess" hillary (read – international bankers) have all decided you will be much easier to control once you are disarmed subjugated under islam.
death to islam and gun control!!!+3

PLS Presents: Children's Fable Podcast
As winter approaches we find ourselves taking stock of our cabinets and ourselves. Many of us will be cashing in food for fines over the next few days. As we do this we ask ourselves, "Do we have enough to last the colder season? Have we done enough to help those around us?"
The December, Children's Fable Podcast, features a classic tale which touches on the above themes – in the ancient and modern telling. Most of us know the tale of the Grasshopper and the Ants from the 1934 Walt Disney Silly Symphony telling. In this version the hard working Ants show compassion for their idle Grasshopper neighbor and share food and shelter during the harsh cold season. In exchange the Grasshopper must earn his keep and entertain the Ants with his fiddle playing.
The Aesop version of the tale is a bit different, and reflects the world in which it was originally written. In the original, the Ants work diligently during the warm months preparing for the winter and, like in the Disney version, the Grasshopper chooses to play instead of preparing for the coming cold. Once winter arrives the Grasshopper asks the Ants for food, instead of being invited in and saved, the Grasshopper is instead turned away to die, because of his past idleness.
While much could be written concerning the Disneyfication of classic tales or even the societal views expressed through tales – one thing is sure, the story of the Ants and the Grasshopper has been a constant in every time and place and is now available for listening here, so enjoy.

Monday's Winners & Losers: Yahoo!
Shares of Yahoo! (YHOO) plunged $4.30, or 15%, to $24.37 after Microsoft (MSFT) pulled its $31-a-share offer for Yahoo on Saturday.
In a letter to Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang that was made public, Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer said he was willing to offer $33 a share for the Internet company but Yahoo!'s board held out for $37.
Sprint Nextel (S) gained 83 cents, or 10.5%, to $8.72 on speculation that T-Mobile's parent Deutsche Telekom (DT) is considering a bid for Sprint Nextel.
On the advancing side, Discovery Labs (DSCO) shares gained 31.7% to $1.91 Monday, recovering some of the ground lost Friday when news of regulatory delays hit the stock hard. The company said Monday it believes it will not need more clinical trials to gain Food and Drug Administration approval for its thrice-brushed off infant lung drug Surfaxin.In earnings, Albany Molecular (AMRI) said first-quarter revenue increased 11% to $53.6 million. The research services firm reported adjusted profit of $4.7 million, or 15 cents a share, up from $3.1 million, or 10 cents a share, a year ago.

Among the losers, HMS Holdings (HMSY), a provider of cost containment and payment accuracy services, slid 23.4% to $20.06.

Thought I'd do a little sharingPosted Tuesday, December 6, 2011, at 11:18 PM
My family's home finally sold and is in the process of closing! They've been trying to sell it since they moved to Japan and it is a huge burden off our shoulders!
OU is doing well...getting hit by some nasty weather and I'm thankful I am well stocked on winter supplies and driving-in-inclement-weather skills from Idaho. I think I'm the only owner of an ice scraper on campus. :p
Semester is over next week, then I'm off to Arkansas to see the boyfriend before going to my first foreign country- Japan! I will have my camera ready to go to share the adventure.
Or to take pictures of my miniature dachshunds. Gosh I miss them!!
I was initiated into Alpha Phi Omega right before Thanksgiving. It's been an incredible time as a pledge, and I'm excited to see what next semester brings with my new brothers!
All my butt-kissing and hogging of sports photo assignments paid off last week, and I was asked to shoot the Oklahoma v Oklahoma State football game! It was extremely exciting. Would have been moreso if the Sooners had decided to play football of course. But that's life.
I wish you all the very best over the holiday season and hope you have safe travels if you leave!!

Thank you for the updates. I can tell from your writing that you are a very special young lady.
-- Posted by KH Gal on Wed, Dec 7, 2011, at 7:35 AM
Thanks for the update... I love hearing from you! How exciting to be able to cover that game! There is more of that I'm sure.
KH, Melodie IS a special young lady. She has blogged here and commented on some pretty hot topics. She took a lot of criticism that wasn't done in as ladylike a manner as she recieved it.
She did alot of growing up, right here on the blogs in front of us.
Way to go!

Melodie I'm darn happy to hear from you. Sounds like you are having the time of your life. Are you going to stay in Japan or is it a visit?
I hope you miss Mountain Home just a little bit lol!
Sure wish we could get our house sold (rental) it would be a weight off our shoulders too! It was suppose to be an investment, but instead it turned into a nightmare...
Have you been watching the Broncos? :)
Take care young lady and stay safe!
-- Posted by MsMarylin on Wed, Dec 7, 2011, at 9:08 AM
It's just a visit unfortunately, and a brief one at that. Thank you all for the compliments :)
I haven't unfortunately. I'm generally really busy with work- the only football I catch is OU football because it's hard to miss here! I do pay attention to where they're at in the polls though.
-- Posted by lilmissmelmo on Wed, Dec 7, 2011, at 9:35 AM
I'm sure you have been extremely busy.
Have a safe trip to Japan and take lots of pictures :)
Enjoy your time with your family ((HUGS))

Many people would prefer to stay in their own homes and hire in-home helpers rather than move to an assisted living facility or nursing home. This often starts with tasks such as lawn care, housekeeping, home maintenance. The next order of need is often with the IADLS (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living), such as transportation, shopping, paying bills, cooking, health care, home care, safety and pet care. Some need assistance with ADL's (Activities of Daily Living such as dressing, bathing, eating and medication supervision, transfer from bed to chair). Others require skilled nursing due to their short or long term medical conditions. For our handout on interviewing homecare providers, choosing private or agency and important terms, click here. For an article on home care options and how to choose among them, click here. If you hire a caregiver, either individually, or through a company, read this article (click here) for information about tax and legal implications. For an article on how to be an informed home care consumer, click here.
It is important to identify your needs as it helps you select the appropriate care provider. Will it be sufficient to have this assistance for a few hours per day, or are there are safety concerns that would indicate 24 hour care? What will happen if the care provider doesn't come? Medicaid and Long Term Care Insurance may pay for some of these services. Medicare only pays for medical care.
There are various levels of home care:
Companions are paid to help and sometimes live in your home. They can provide meal preparation, housekeeping, shopping, transportation and laundry. They do no hands-on care and are not regulated. Companions can be found through homecare agencies or privately.
Home health aides are trained, certified and work under the supervision of a registered nurse. They help with personal care such as dressing, personal hygiene, and ambulation. Aides can be found primarily through homecare agencies.
Visiting Nurses are licensed nurses (RN or LPN) who can dispense medication and do follow-up medical care such as wound dressing and removal of stitches. Other skilled providers who may visit at home are physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists. This skilled care often follows hospital or rehabilitation center discharge and is provided over a limited period of time with intermittent visits. Sometimes a nurse is needed on a long-term basis for medical care. This care is often arranged by the discharge planner or doctor.
There are several considerations when deciding whether to find a care provider privately or go through an agency. A licensed agency should background check, train, and oversee their staff. Workers are bonded and insured, covered by workers compensation, and payroll taxes are paid. If the worker can not come for an appointed shift, the agency should replace them. If you chose private pay, the hourly rate is lower, but you are responsible for the payroll taxes and workers comp. You should inquire about training, certifications and recommendations. Make sure you understand whether the agency employs its care staff or whether they are serving as an employment agency and you will employ the staff. Check driver's license and record if you expect them to drive (not all agencies permit this). Whether private or agency employee, remember that this is one of the lowest paid and most challenging professions. Care providers are often juggling client and family needs themselves, and may leave for a higher paying or more satisfying position. Many also become very attached to the families they serve and provide high quality care. PSRC does not match private care providers with families.
Medicare-certified agencies can be found at the Medicare web site www.medicare.gov. They are both licensed and certified at the highest level. They provide of Medicare reimbursed skilled medical nursing and rehabilitation in the homefor people who are unable to leave home to receive thse services. Services are short-term and intermittent.

They can provide personal care services, have nursing supervision, must use employees to provide services, must pay employee taxes, and employees providing health care services must be licensed/certified.

Wonderful!!!! we lived in Louisanna for a while years ago and since then we have tried dozens of recipes and restaurants claiming to have good gumbo. Ohio is not exactly the place to get great food. So I tried this recipe and Man on man it is good! I tweeked it a bit, We had no andoullie sausage so I got hot sausage. I also used shrimp rather than crab. I may have bumped up the spices a bit too. My daughter who was about 7 when we lived in La. came over when she knew I was making Gumbo and ate two bowlfuls and took some home. I will make this again and again

Even though there are a lot of ingredients & the time it takes to make, this is super great! It does make a lot, so invite your neighbors! This was my first time making gumbo & I am glad I gave this one a try.
