Bayou Gal

I was born in New Orleans Louisiana on June 25, 1952 my sister Barbara just 10 months in 29 days before I arrived. My dad was in the Air Force and from there we traveled all across the country visiting and living in many and Japan five, my dad retired from the Air Force and of course we move back home to Louisiana mama promised dad she'd follow him for 20 years while he was in the service but after he retired, he had to follow her back mom was a true Cajun lady and she taught my sister and I have had a hunt fish trap and after we move back to demons, I become a real tomboy like mom and I enjoyed doing everything we always add something some kind of seafood or wild game for supper that was our culture also in 1965 in September that summer a category five during the storm and afterwards I witnessed a small town a community pool together and everyone helped each other. It was amazing to see the love and devotion that people had for tragedy for many and a learning experience for other others I've had many frightening moments besides mother nature I have been stranded on an oyster reef for two days and believe me it wasn't a Gilligans Island island. I was chased by head hunters in the Luzon region of the Philippines. I really didn't think we were gonna get away from these natives. And then there were the crawfish thieves and they had shotguns! Mom and I ran an alligator crawfish farm from property. She had inherited from her Papa Tony Doo friend him we were the Daughter gator hunters at that time these stories are real chilling, heartbreaking and exciting. The passion in love I feel for The Bayou makes the in experience I've lived through these hurricanes to embrace in the swelling Summers, but most of all the rich culture of Louisiana the little touches I share like recipes make it It's like inviting my readers to taste and fill The Bayou Bayou gal is not just a story. It's a window into a life fully lived to make the readers laugh. And share a few tears and fall in love with the south along the way.
