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!

  • Green Thumb Envy, Part 2

    With the turmoil of Hurricane Isaac behind us and the “Ghost of Isaac” threatening to re-enter the Gulf, let’s ignore all that and once again reap the benefits of a local French-Cajun gentleman’s green thumb. Since we can’t actually stroll through his yard and garden today, let me bring the memory of his spring garden to you.

  • Wrapping it Up!

    I’m determined in 2013 to tune in more to what my sons are listening to and watching than worrying about how many folks have LIKED the Bayou Woman page on Facebook, as though those LIKES equal dollars in the bank. I am determined to lean more on the Giver of all Gifts for the wisdom to know how to best care for the Gifts I’ve been given–to know which ones are worth keeping, which ones can be re-gifted, and which ones are not even worthy of the scrap pile.

  • The Bayou Bunch!

    One of the bad things about having sons who work on boats is the work schedule. David, the oldest, works a 28 and 14 schedule–28 days on the boat and 14 days off. Daniel, next in line, works 14 and 7. I never know ahead of time if they will be off the boat to celebrate holidays and birthdays. So, we just get together when we can, especially when they are both off the boat at the same time.

  • Termite goes crabbing!

    He wanted to make some money, so I let him do a very grown-up thing–commercial crabbing. He went with a well-established crabber, and he learned that crabbing is hard, hot, nasty work. The crab traps are about three feet square, and when laden with blue crabs, can be quite heavy. One by one, the traps…

  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.
