only a true decedent could understand.
My mothers family was raised on one of the many Plantations in Louisiana.
My maternal grandfather was a trapper, my grandmother sewed for the
landowners. Their children worked in the fields. When money was saved for
them to buy their own land, the children, as well as my grandmother, worked
in what was then called
The Shrimp Shed.
My father was raised on a Cane Field Plantation. He too was from a large
family. One of fourteen children, all the boys were used in the fields. It was
the only way of survival for many of the smaller farms here. If it were not
cane you were farming, it was fields of corn and cattle. My fathers father
did all three.
We, Terrebonne Parish. were one of the blooming cane parishes of their time.
The Oil Field replaced that growth in the 70's and 80's......With the fall of
oil prices, people stood by and waited patiently for it to come back. Those
who stayed are glad they did. Our parish is coming back to what it was,
way back when...........
I love to cook. And around my home and with family and friends I'm considered a very good one.

Before I go too far with this I'd like to say that the background for my page and the one above are mine.
It came from an old school book I found at a yard sale.
I scanned it and did some renovations on it using Paint Shop Pro.
So if you like it and want to use it, please before doing so let me know.
Or at least when using it put a link on your page back to mine....Thanks....
And now for the rest of my story...*s*
No, not that personal....*smile*
One thing I can tell you up front is that before I came to Geocities
I spent all my time on the chats....heck, I thought that's all there was to a computer.....*smile*
I chatted in a place called Alamak, The Woods of Alamak Chat
While there made some great friends....I'll always remember that time
The time I call Through the Miles of Cyber Space
I also love music midi's......
