[Guest guest]

What a wonderful place to live. Wish I could visit you. I

haven’t seen that part of the country in years and years.

bayou country

I live in the city but we do have a camp down one of the bayous in

South

louisiana...

I love the bayou country...I went down there this

morning for a crab

boil...nothing like boiled crabs for

breakfast...seeing the seagulls

dive for their food and an occasional

pelican...seeing the shrimp boats

as they pull their po=pierre nets at nite for shrimp...and feeling

the

cool sea breeze...the bayou country is very

unique.

i do not go down there much...cause of the heat

and the sun, but it is a

unique place.

i stopped by a house today, along the bayou.

There was a sign out there

that said home grown tomatoes...all the tomatoes

were on a table outside

with a money box on the side...and a scale...I

knocked on the door for

assistance and this little ole cajun lady came

outside...i told her what

I wanted and she said, mey sha just put dem in dat

bag and put da money

in dat box...i told her that where i lived, in the

city, the tomatoes

would have been stolen by now......she said that

she would rather give

things to people instead of them having to

steal...Trust is still very

prevalent down the bayou...she told me to put two

extra tomotoes in the

bag...

I went further down the bayou and saw a sign

saying cucumbers...bags and

a box to put the money in...how do these people

know that we are paying

for the items....how do they know if we are not

taking more than allowed

for the price...i was amazed ...of course I took

only what I bought...I

am very honest...this would never happen in the

city..

i do not think i would like to live in any other

part of the country...I

have the best of both worlds here...the city

conviences and the country

hospitality and trust...go figure...chippy
