I’m French on my father’s side..they came to the New Orleans area before it was New Orleans in the 1600’s. Ancestry is really fun! Sounds like you’re pretty resourceful but then, we gotta be. Don’t know where you are but here, we’re having the coldest winter in 15 years or so the local weather person says and I believe it. Usually cold for a day or two and it’s back to warming up but not this year and even the snowbirds here are like..what’s going on?! Lizards stunned by the cold n dropping out of trees and the manatees are all huddled together to keep warm..there’s a manatee park near me and it’s packed with people watching them. O, well..’Tis the season 🥶
