re: #750 Bobibutu

Bobibutu, luckier than you can imagine. I am in Lafayette and the Cajun culture here is so similar to that of which you wrote. It’s dwindling from what it was in my childhood, but there are many little communities ‘round here that still do the newborn-to-grandpa familial encompassing. It is such an honor to be welcomed into the home and communities such as these.

It is still one of my most cherished sources of simple, simple pleasure to go sit in a cafe in Breaux Bridge or Saint Martinville near the Evangeline Oak where the old folks congregate and socialize. Like the last 50 years never happened and I was a child again sitting there with my dad having ice cream while he had coffee with the elders. And mind you …women and children always walked on the inner part of the sidewalk with the older male near the street-side …and still do, here.
