Valentine reflections
I’ve been sick for one week. I have too much to do to be sick. My energy has been zapped by some huge suction bigger than my life. Every time I go up to the camp to get something done, my body zones in on the couch, and next thing I know, I’m snoring. Same…
What to do when the fish aren't biting?
That was the question of the day today, as my fishing buddy Diane and I attempted to fish in high winds and muddy waters. Remember, we really are die-hard fishermen. And even though we remembered the ice for our seat cooler, which held our sustenance for this trip, both captain and deckhand forgot the ice…
It's shrimp season, cher`
That’s right. The inland shrimp season is full swing, and this is that wonderful time when you can drive down the bayou, look for a boat tied up to its moorings with someone on board, roll down your window and ask, “Hey Buddy, you still got some shrimp for sale?” And hopefully, the first one…
Egrets & Otters & Books, Oh My!
[su_quote cite=”‘Regret The Egret’, by Capt. Wendy Wilson Billiot” url=”http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/bayouwoman”]Once upon a time, there was an egret family that nested high in a willow tree along the bayou banks in south Louisiana. Across the bayou, nearby cattle pastures were like an all-you-can-eat buffet for birds; especially birds like Regret, the cattle egret…[/su_quote] It’s finally here…my…
Ever heard of a Ducathlon?
Probably not, because the Ducathlon is a very local event begun several years ago by sport fishermen from all over the state who come down here to fish. The binding tie is a fishing forum. The Ducathlon is a very low key, fishing tournament, where the prize for the biggest red fish and speckled trout…
Step right up!
“C’mon, you can do it! Just climb up the ladder and get up here!” Uh, no thanks. I think I’ll wait for the steps. “Hey, could you guys hurry it up a bit? I want to get inside and check out the house now that it has been elevated.” “Well, if you didn’t change where…
Great pictures!! I love the picture of Miah relaxing in the swing.
Fall, Fairs…fun times… kids all ages!
I’ve never seen a kid so completely relaxed on a moving ride as Miah! He has some serious coolness goin’ on
Tilt-a-Whirl! I love the tilt-a-whirl, and it looks like the boys did, too!
looks like they had a blast!
Hey, I’m sending your information to a friend who has moved to Louisiana. She homeschools and I think your tours, etc would fit well into her curriculum, Wendy.
Oh, that sounds great Sue!!! I’d be glad to help in any way I can! Thanks! ( Did you know I homeschooled all my kids?)
I did not know that. I’ll pass that tidbit on too. I hope she decides to make the trip to your place. How cool would that be, to have a Joe’s Run girl meet my blog friend Wendy!
Gee, no warning???
I am getting really old but looking at carnival rides or hearing music still makes me very dizzy and ill.
Still thinking of being a carney when I grow up though.
Cooking trout this week.
Trout yum. Termite looked around at the “Carnies” hawking their games and said, “Wow, this must be a really depressing lifestyle. 🙁 “
I too love the Swing photo. Did he pose for you or is that his “style” of relaxing on this ride?
It was so cute!! Every time he came around to me, he was in a different pose!! There were four altogether I believe! He’s a real camera ham!
Love fairs. Popcorn, cotton candy, sausage on a stick, etc. and lots of lbs.
It has been years since I went to one. Can’t take that walking any more.
Looks like Miah was in his element! Bet he had a blast.
Wow our fair is in August and in Oklahoma that means it’s 104 degrees and 210 humidity, lol. The state fair was last week and it was beautiful weather. Looks like the boys had a blast.
Cuuute! The last two years when I’ve gone with him, the Tilt-a-Whirl is the only one I ride! (Always been my favorite carnival ride… I remember riding it with YOU! At Hamel’s Park, maybe?) Anyway, Miah and I can get that thing spinning something fierce! Love it. 🙂
You should have posted the other swing poses! *lol*
Now, I’m off to find your house post to see if I can find the pictures of your kitchen counters. I’ve been meaning to ask you who did them because I want new ones. Email me!
