I moved from Louisiana in February 2016, then set out on some adventures to Guatemala, Colorado, Washington, DC, and Toronto.
In July, I took one of my descendants with me on a revisit to South Louisiana. Let's call her Avery. She's nine. Avery is actually the name of one of her dolls, who she adopted while we were in Louisiana.

I'll take the opportunity of my Louisiana revisit to tell some stories that didn't get told when I lived there.
Some of them are happy and some of them are not.
A preview:
- What's in a name?
- Peculiar blindness, continued
- Festivals, of course
- Music, of course
- Little girls: A tragedy
- Poetry
- Beau Jocque
- Land and water
