| We Used to Go Crawfishing |
| 03.28.04 (3:19 pm) [edit] |
Did you ever go crawfishing? I did, our neighbors had this small tank (which is a pond or something similar). We took a stick, tied a twine on it, took a cornmeal ball or a piece of fat pork, and tied it on as bait!
Believe me, we would catch those old crawdads like crazy- that is me and my two older brothers. After we caught a big mess of them, my brothers would cut the tails off, and mom would give us a skillet. We built a campfire, rolled those granddads in cornmeal and fried them.
Believe me, if you haven't had them, it is a treat. I think that must have been the beginning of my love of lobster.
I'm planning to go to New Orleans with my daughters and son-in-laws. The first meal I'm going to look the menu over to find is crawfish.

| "Mom, look how orange our house is!" |
| 03.22.04 (4:04 pm) [edit] |
I remember when I was about 4 or 5 years old. My mom and my younger sister Rosa, and myself were going to the pasture to tell my older brother Roland to bring the cows in to be milked. He was on horse back, old cowboy style...ha!
I looked back at our house and said, "Mom, look how orange our house is!" Of course, it was on fire; it was just before all the flames broke out. I can still see the bright orange color.
The only thing saved was my mom's sewing machine. Luckily, she had all her important papers in the six drawers in that sewing machine.
After the house burned down, they fixed up an apartment in the loft of the big milk barn. All I can remember of that was the outside stair steps leading up to it. We lived there until the new house was built. Can you imagine what people would say now if I told them I had lived in a barn!
The new house was where I had scarlett fever. The old house probably wouldn't have had the accomodations for my cousin to slip around to read my funny books.
