HMMMM -- Sheena -- Sheena WHO???? Do we even have a Sheena in the group (r,d&h)??? Hope you hjave a happy one and here's something jus for you, m'dear----- :-) ;-) :-0 ;-P
Adding on something - we were talking about Sheena - and Bruce just yesterday. As, of all things - there was some cooking show on PBS called Louisiana cooking that I don't normally watch - but they ended up doing a show all about the history of the Acadians. Indeed, in full detail of the Acadians coming to Nova Scotia, and then being deported to Louisiana, describing the history and how they culturally and work-wise fit in to Lousiana - including with the food. What was done with lobster then became little crawfish, etc. It was very interesting.
It was very well done - the explanation on the show. The historical society was quite clear on that point, and then put quite the positive note towards the good fit with Louisiana which was at that time under a French flag.
LOL - I can believe that. On some business trip to Quebec years back - I actually had to translate for my French from France colleagues who supposedly could not understand the Quebecois spoken by the taxi driver and various other people. It was at times somewhat hilarious. Of course, my counterpart & I thought a bit absurd - much having to do with the accent, and his boss, a woman about 10 years older than I probably a bit snooty or shy, and definitely moody - making it worse. OTOH - this same woman, once threw a pair of sandals across an office at me out in the field (office being in an trailer as used on a construction site). Not my fault she didn't pay attention to the many memos sent telling people they needed close toed shoes to be out on the test bed, and she didn't bother even bringing sneakers when coming down from the city - hey, at least I didn't make her wear work boots with steel toes. Believe it or not the big, burly Air Force Srgt was scared to go tell her, so I agreed to do it...and said I'd let her go with just closed shoes. Go figure...
It was interesting and the program had many nice things to say about Nova Scotians as well!
