Aww, I love this one! Not only is Holly getting a good lesson from Gramma, but Evie’s phrase in the last panel is priceless!

I agree about here in the US. Buy one of the many houses, fix em up that looks great, and rent them out.

Great if you can do both… Evie’s not moving to Haiti, so why not do something long-term here and something short-term abroad?

I think her motives on going to Haiti might have as much to do with the “company” as the help, as I recall…

Mennonite Disaster Service is volunteers who rebuild houses all over the US and Canada where disaster has struck. Evie could give them a hand too.

Grandma’s teaching Holly that giving is one of the reasons we celebrate Christmas.

Never mind the Katrina trailers: how about the fact that the Katrina Cottages, decent permanent housing, were passed by in favor of the trailers, which were not permanent and would be less safe in future storms?

I’m going in a different vein here. Evie is in good health, she wants to do this, she is at the age where she owes no one nothing, GO FOR IT GIRL!
