Oh yes the book!
No I am in KY but for some reason my heart has been with the Cajuns all my life. They are a wonderful culture and I so want everyone to read this book. Just to be aware of what we are losing. And to help if we can. The people themselves ask for nothing...they are totally self sufficient. But if we lose them, we all lose. Thanks for noticing my tagline! No one else has. It's such an important book.
I am glad you have a good support base. And will pray that Mom will get it together. I admire you for what you must have given up for those kids. I bet they are worth it tho (o:
I noticed your tagline, but wasn't sure how to comment because when I went to your profile page, you chose a logo of the US Flag instead of a state flag.
I'm saying my own "Bayou Farewell." I gave Louisiana my very best shot for two years, but now we're going back to Massachusetts. It's a crying shame because we really do like it here -- we'll miss the mild winters the most -- but since Katrina and Rita, it's become impossible for me to make a living in a city where we've been "displaced by the Displaced."
Like I said, they'll have to add me to the snowstorm ping list, sigh...
I married into "cajun." My husband's grandmother's people are French Acadian. His granddad's (Fat Daddy) people are just cajun... 'nuff said. Our grandkids call hubby... Grandpapaw. I am suppose to be Grandmere; none of them could say that. I have been mammy, jammy, grammy and a bunch of other stuff.
