Follow the bouncing ball! (And a contest)
Do you remember “Sing Along with Mitch”? Just follow the bouncing ball. Well, if you’re too young to remember, you can always ask Google, but it was an old black and white TV show in the mid 60s show wherein everyone could sing along with the lyrics on the screen. The white ball would bounce…
Louisiana Wetland Treasures!
Have you ever wondered about those prehistoric creatures called gar fish and what they could possibly be good for? Read on and see what tale Bayou Woman has to tell about the amazing alligator gar.
BW needs your help!
I am doing some research into different areas of media. Since your input has proved invaluable to me in the past, I am turning to you once more for your input.
Shrimp Camp Dularge
LilSis and I did actually cook some of those fresh shrimp while I was up there. We were developing a signature shrimp recipe for Camp Dularge and we adapted this one from several recipes including one from Coco Marina, which I think they made quite famous. I had never had it before, but it sounded…
Grilled Red Fish on the Half-Shell
What do you do on a cold, windy Friday when the trout aren’t biting? You drift the banks for red fish in hopes they will bite. As fishing luck would have it, two fish reached the end of the line (no pun intended) and made it into the boat. They are a beautiful bronze color…
Mary Land and Pepper Pecans
Parties and family gatherings abound this time of year, and we’re faced with the same question each time we begin to ponder what we will bring. That is, whether to rely on an “old reliable” recipe or come up with something new. The only problem with trying something new is whether or not it will…






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!
