This post is dedicated to my maw maw Fro, 92, who passed away this week. We love you, we miss you! Go rest high on that mountain and wait for the rest of us.
The funeral was in Natchitoches (Nak-a-dish), Louisiana, my first home! It was in the beautiful church above- St. Anne's Catholic Church.
Here's a bit of my Cajun history...
The first home I ever came to!
Truvy's Beauty Shop (Steel Magnolia's!) Also, my family's house. Yeah, we have home videos of them shooting this movie. Pretty cool, I know!
You can't be from Louisiana and NOT love meat pies. I know what you're thinking. Meat pies? Sick! Oh how wrong you are. It's a Cajun thang ;)
Another favorite part of going to Natchitoches is seeing the Cypress trees with the spanish moss on them. So southern...I love them! And of course the plantation homes. This is the Melrose Plantation, and a Cypress tree in the river!
And of course the Christmas festival. There is nothing like it. Meat pies, fireworks, lighting up the river, music, crawfish boils...
Natchitoches won't be the same without you maw maw!
"Go rest high on that mountain, son your work on earth is done. Go to Heaven..."
Aw, this is precious! I'm so sry about your loss, but you know you'll see her again!
