St. Martin De Tours Church
Mother Church of the Acadians
The first thing the Acadians did when they stepped off the boat was to say a prayer of thanksgiving and then they danced.
This is a story that's repeated often, even to this day.
SIlVER TEA SET
As I drove down a side street in New Iberia I noticed how this home had seen better days. I then remembered a story told to me about a gifted silver tea set. It came to my mother from a woman whose family lived there. The woman’s family was raised in the Atchafalaya Basin and as often happened they move to town and lived a cultured life. I don’t remember my mother ever making Tea. She was more of a cocktail in a crystal glass type of woman. C’est la vie.
