It turns out that my great grandmother was an Aunt to Granny’s dearly departed husband, Bordages. This (I think) makes us distant cousins. And if you know anything about those crazy Cajuns, we are all related somehow or another! So I have found a long lost “Cuzin Granny†and I am sooooooo EXCITED!! So look out Mr. Tim, I am prepared to assist my Cuz in whoopin your tail too!!!!!!
