Back from Alaska . . .

ByCapt. Wendy

My latest Bayou Woman Adventure was far, far from the bayou and lasted a week, including travel to and from Soldotna, Alaska.  However, the timing for these posts couldn’t be more off, as Dotter and family are closing on a new house today, and I will be helping with packing and babysitting so they can get things moved and somewhat settled.  So, that will delay my posts about the trip.  

For those of you following my adventure on social media, I promised you blog posts with more photos, stories, and details, and I plan to fulfill that promise, but I really don’t want to be rushed.  Therefore, I will leave you with these teaser photos, with no details for now, and will come back on Wednesday to start the series because one post will not come close to covering this amazing adventure!

Enjoy the photos and get your questions ready!!!  As always, click on photo for larger image!

I hope these get your curiosity up!  Enjoy for now!  Be back soon, I promise!

    An Original Bayou Woman

    It was 1979, and I was working as a dispatcher for ODECO. She answered the old black phone in her native tongue, her words lost on me. I had called her house to ask if her son, the crew boat captain, happened to be home. Hoping she could understand me, I continued in English, “He has to go on a run right now.” His boat was next up to take a trip out to the Gulf to deliver emergency equipment, and as night dispatcher, it was my job to find him. She understood me well enough to relate to me in broken English where she thought he might have been.

  2. The great thing about being from Louisiana is how much we enjoy other places. I’m looking forward to the new posts and what you’ve been up to. But how wonderful is babysitting with the wee one while mom and dad move? That’s a whole new level of exciting. Glad you’re back home.

  4. Family comes first! I guess we’ll just have to wait a bit longer.
    Where are Dotter and Musicman moving to? I hope it’s not to far away from your precious granddaughter.
