This is a true story about a house without running water and the people who wanted to live there. There was a mobile home park in rural Louisiana that was in pretty bad shape. Because its well had dried up, none of the residents could get running water.
The landowner next door decided that he wanted to expand his property, so he offered to buy all of the mobile home lots. Most of the lot owners sold cheap, but not Mrs. Daisy (all names have been changed.) That was her home, and water or not, she wasn’t moving!

Take Salad Season to the Next Level
Warmer months typically call for lighter bites, and one of the first things that comes to mind for many is a fresh and flavorful salad. While a salad is a quick and easy way to up your veggie intake and get food on the table in next to no time, the same formula over and over again can make mealtimes feel mundane. To take your salads to the next level, think of those greens as a blank slate for creativity and look beyond the bowl for elements that can help create new, satisfying meals. Find more ideas to elevate salad season at freshexpress.com.
