When the Cajun people, displaced from Nova Scotia, began settling in south Louisiana in the late 1700's,they adapted the traditions of Christmas to fit the culture. Santa Claus became "Papa Noel" (father christmas), his sled became a piroque pulled by eight alligators. On Christmas eve fires are set along the banks of the bayous to help him find the houses where the children live. Joyous Noel mes amie. That's Merry Christmas ya'll.

Perfectly worded Nine Line Apparel.
Always honoring those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Today isn't about BBQs or a long weekend. It is NOT a day to thank veterans. Thanking a veteran today may do more harm than good as many mourn the loss of their friends. It's a day to honor those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, a day for prayer, contemplation, and thanks for those who sacrificed for our freedoms.

If you reside in Texas, please give public comment FOR SB829.

SB 829 is alive! It will be heard by the House Public Health Committee on Monday, May 15!

SB 829 updates the Texas Cottage Food Law by:
- increasing the sales cap to $100,000 per year (from $50,000)
- making home addresses on labels optional with DSHS registration
- adding refrigerated baked goods like cheesecakes, custards, pumpkin pies, flan to the list of allowed foods
- allowing wholesale for cottage foods
- clarifying that cities and health departments may not require permits of cottage food producers

This bill will provide countless new opportunities for local entrepreneurs - please help!

WE NEED COMMENTS - leave a comment about how this bill would help you, or someone you love, so the Public Health committee knows it has public support!

Those of you who have called your State Reps - call them again and ask them to co-author SB 829 - this is CRITICAL. Directions for calling your Rep are in the comments - have you called before? Call again! We need Reps to put their names on this to help push it through the House!
