Louisiana Trip

I had the opportunity last weekend to travel to north Louisiana to see my sweet Mama. Before getting to her house, we passed over the old Sterlington draw bridge (pictured). I was always afraid of it as a child; it's creepy. It will soon be replaced by a nice new cement bridge. Won't be the same. My mom, Ms. Opal, lives on Finch Lake, next to where her mom, my Mamaw Lita, once lived. Pictured is my Mamaw's house. Ruthie went with me so we all had some of that good Girl Time. We also had some meatloaf, cabbage, taters and gravy, baby limas, and cornbread. That was just the first night. The next night was chickin and dumplins with cornbread. I love my Mama's cooking almost as much as I love her. Passing through Bastrop was the funeral home with the "Krispy Kremate" truck. Makes me wonder...
