Tell us about this picture– what are you wearing?

I’m wearing a shirt apron I’ve made with a shirt belonging
to my deceased husband. I also used that project as a
Christmas gift for our 4 children and the 7 oldest grand
children. They were so touched and grateful to have
such a reminder of fond memories.

 

How did you get to Milton?

I’m a native of Milton and have lived here all my life.
My Cajun heritage has kept me a Milton resident for
all of my 81 years. My husband was also a life long
Miltonite.

 
Do you have a favorite thing to eat or to make?

It is difficult for me to single out any one favorite dish
or meal since I taught Foods for 27 years in the Public
School System Lafayette Parish. Probably gumbo, both seafood
and chicken-sausage (fresh sausage) are my favorite to
prepare. It’s simple to prepare, delicious and loved by all!
Bread Pudding topped with meringue and rum sauce is
one of my favorite desserts.
