I'm a cajun girl, and looking to connect with other peeps from my happy place. I grew up in Iberia Parish, but currently living in Texas. Only other cajun people understand and appreciate the lifestyle, so where are all the happy cajun people?

    I use to work in Boussard. You are correct by the way, the Cajun lifestyle is definitely not something that is well known and understood.

    I'm not Cajun but lived for a few years in the vicinity in my childhood (LaPlace, Baton Rouge, New Orleans). I often visited Cajun relatives of my friends. I remember one grandfather really well who gave me his lucky rabbit's foot and told us to stay out of his camper because Big Foot lived in it....

    I totally believe him bc he lived at the edge of a swamp where of course Big Foot stayed during the day but slept in the camper at night... Need I add I was 6 years old?? Nightmares for years.

    OMG. Had no clue...loved his stories! His accent was pretty strong, but so was my Southern Georgia accent. His house was always fun even though I never got to go in the swamp. Some of my best memories are from my life there.
