“couldn’t imagine being stuck in that little room with a storm going on.’
You must have missed it. They don’t live there full time in the house boat. They have a home and they stayed when the hurricane came at 150/160 miles an hour. Said they had stayed before when hurricanes came but wished they hadn’t this time.
I did see there is a DC one but haven’t watched it either. I watched one about the oldest living cowboy 95 yrs. old in Montanna. There were a couple I saw in Montana. The area he was in is beautiful but once you get past Billings it goes on FOREVER with flat land and nothing to see.
Thank you both for your sweet posts!
I have missed you, too!
*HUGS*
“We got down into the 60s today”
nice! We were a bit over 90. With humidity. It’s supposed to cool off for the rest of the week. I feel bad that I put mama and the baby out there when it is so hot, I should have checked the weather.
I never eat when I fist get up!
I have always been that way,
My Mom and my Memere (CanadianFfrench slang for grandma, mee-maw etc.)used to have FITS about it.
Not all the Acadians made it to Louisiana-some settled in
Maine.New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
In later years, the Quebecois also came to work in the
factories and shoe mills. Also Bates Mill Bedspreads were
very famous, and lots of people wanted them.
My ancestors were only able to go to church in the basements of the catholic church. When the number of folks got to be too large, they contributed to have their own churches built
and so Saint Peter and Pauls Bascillica was built.

WE have both Acadian and Quebecois in my family.
We did not have a lot of money, but my Memeres on both sides of the families were so neat and clean, in their homes you could “eat off the floor.”
My Dad’s mother was like President Trump-a germophobe!
Our home was a little more relaxed, thank God!
Ms.
That’s beautiful! At first I didn’t know why you were having services in the basement, but the article said a French speaking priest was needed and the mass was held in the basement.
“By 1905, even after the split, the church had gained almost 10,000 parishioners. The old church had to be torn down, and the basement of the new church was finished in 1906.”
I can’t even imagine, although the church does look huge but 10,000 people! I thought that many only congregated at a trump rally
I recently spent a morning in Shediac, NB Canada. Acadian culture is alive and well there!
“Memere”
that’s a beautiful name!
so much classier than meemaw
That Blackberry Cheesecake sure do look good.
It’s yours!
Lucky you!
That’s on my bucket list!
Great time of year to be there!
Oh, I knew they didn’t live there full time. I wasn’t even thinking of a hurricane. I was just thinking of a thunderstorm. You’d have to be holed up in that little room with the doors and windows closed.....it looked awfully small.
I didn’t see the Montanna ones yet. I was also going to watch the Mormon ones as well. They looked interesting. Did you see the one waaaaay up on that little island between Alaska and Russia? My goodness, I had no idea these little places existed. He’s got a really interesting little thing going on, doing all of these videos. I hope he makes some good money, and that his wife doesn’t mind him being away so much lol.
Very nice! I’ll take one of those shots!
I don’t watch any Olympics, but that guy with the gun looks pretty cool.
I did see a clip numerous times about the guy who lost the pole vault....because of, well, his pole got in the way lololo. Did you see that one?
Well, I just watched a good video on the Acadians in Louisianna by this guy that Spunky got me hooked on. He’s so interesting, and visits with different groups of people all over the world and tells their story. It’s so good. Lol we were just talking about the couple and their little floatin’ home, eating a swamp rat!
Very cool - I understand that the Acadian culture is still booming out in Nova Scotia as well.
Memere is a beautiful name for grandma. It sounds so poetic, so elegant.
