Do you see these on your way to town?
Well, I did just this week. And it let me take a nice, long look . . . And then it heard the sound of my camera and . . . took a look at me before flying away . . . . breathtaking . . . .
It's almost here . . .
Oil has made its way, unimpeded into the lower waters of Terrebonne parish, and will move into the marshes where it will cause untold death.
Fat Tuesday and a Contest!
Tuesday (tomorrow) is Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday for those of you who don’t know the lingo. Not having been raised Catholic and having grown up in a north Louisiana city that did not publicly celebrate this religious holiday, I didn’t know much about it when I moved to Thibodaux in the heart of Cajun Country…
It's Contest Prize-Drawing Time!
Back in September, I wrote a post about this blog being five years old and asked you to share your stories with us. You did so in great fashion, and I thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. The comments seemed to have stopped now, so it’s time for me to keep my end of the bargain and do the drawing.
Meet Godfrey!
There I was, one cool November morning, swimming along chasing a frog for breakfast, minding my own business when SWOOSH!
Another Wetland Tour!
It was my honor to run two tours for the folks from Midland, Michigan, who are down here doing recovery work. I think it’s their third time down? Not sure, but it’s at least that. These retired folks are quite amazing. After working on projects all week, including our house on Friday, these folks threw…






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!
