First, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all of my new followers! Thanks so much for coming by and for all of your lovely comments! The weekend was an absolute blast, on the swamp, and at the virtual bloggie BBQ , hosted by Karen G. She was the hostess with the mostess, and did an excellent job of making everyone feel at home with her warm, Southern-like hospitality. Thanks again, Karen, for a great party! I hereby pronounce you and all of my followers, "Honorary Cajuns"! All that is required to become an honorary Cajun is to love the Cajun food and music! Welcome to Cajun country! Lassiez les bon temps rouler!******************************************************************************************
We spent two days at a friend's camp in Henderson, Louisiana on the beautiful Atchafalaya Basin, better known as the Henderson Swamp. There is no end to the fun that one might find on the levee, on any given weekend, and this past weekend was no exception. We started out at Basin Landing for a few cold ones at Turtle's Bar.
It was a beautiful day on the water, cooler and sunny, and less humid than usual. The boaters were out in full force. This party barge was really rockin'!
We had a sinful lunch at Pat's Restaurant. I couldn't resist having an oyster poboy.
There was a whole lotta grilling going on, with all of the trimmings, too! Le bon manger!
I made a big pot of Cajun rice dressing and a bowl of Creole potato salad.

On Sunday, we headed over to the Sunday afternoon dance, at Whiskey River Landing.
The place was packed to the gills and the crowd was really boogie-ing down to the spicy sounds of Geno Delafose and French Rockin' Boogie! One of my favorite bands and so much fun!
****************************************************************************************************Here's a little clip that I took of this very popular band, movin' the crowd! The crowd was going wild and the dance floor was very crowded! But, my camera's batteries went out just when the patrons were starting to dance ON the bar! I'll make sure to get one, next time! You can catch some more of my music videos on Youtube @ TheBayougirl. Crank it up for this one, cher, and let the good times, roll!

Hope ya'll have a wonderful week! Merci beaucoup for stopping by!
