Two Amazing Women

Last week we went 

to Alexandria, Louisiana to see Peaches' sister, Dottie.  We stayed with cousin Linnie, and family, which includes a very smart and friendly Bouvier. Some videos of Abbey doing tricks are posted on facebook and vimeo.  We had a wonderful trip, and as always delicious food.  Aunt Dottie sent her delicious Crawfish Cardinale back with us to celebrate Cliff's birthday.  We always have such a good time sharing recipes and talking about old times.

Sunday Evening

Peaches came over for a glass of wine and we talked about Huey Long. She remembered hearing about the Kingfish having dinner with a family in Oakdale and drinking his soup from his bowl instead of using his spoon.
Mom was the middle of three daughters, and, apparently always hiding under the crawl space of her home as she was quite the little trouble maker! Mom was born November 20, 1919. Her little sister was called Sunny because she was always happy, and happy to let Mom get her in trouble. One time Mom and Sunny cut off Aunt Dottie's doll's curly, beautiful hair  Dottie lives in Alexandria, near her daughter Linnie.  My other cousin Janie, lives in New Orleans.
