How in the world are you? We sure hope you've had a very relaxing and happy weekend. I want to share some pictures with you, but first, I want to ask you a question:
Have you ever given a party and wished it would all go away?
I sure haven't...not until the one we had recently. And, I'm telling you, we have never seen the lacks of it and we are still astound...
Our family love having large parties and this year, after missing a couple years, it was a Fish Fry...
We had plenty of food to eat
Including a crayfish boil
Here are the fish fryers
These men are from Valdosta
The fish eaters
And beer drinkers and beer
Importantly, the Zydeco band...this is the fiddler
Players and singers
There is always a rocking Zydeco band at a good Louisiana party/dance
And here are the dancers
Wow, what a good time!
Happy, happy people
I mean HAPPY folks'!
The New Orleans Hurricane Beer from Abita Beer. Sodas were for the Non's and faint at heart!
Some people came up to us and told us there were guest, a certain family, who were loading their car with plates of food and drinks! Then, they would come back to the tables and fix more plates to eat. Not only were they, just one family mind you...filling their car with our food from the tables, but, they also went around to the cooking tents and stole the raw fish, crayfish, shrimp, corn and potatoes...Yeah!
Cases of beer were gone too! It seems they waited until the music and dancing started, then made away with all our food! They knocked a big whole in it...that's for sure! When they knew they were about to be confronted, they jumped in their car and sped off!
OMG! Have you ever heard the lacks of this? We were all standing there with our mouths open and astound!
I really need to hear what you have to say on this one, and yes, it is true...all true! No Kidding!
Oh yeah, some of the men folk's went to the grocery stores and bought up all their fish, and I had more fixin's just in case we ran short! We had to go back in the kitchen to cook again, because there were some, like the band, who had not eaten!
Is there anything you can say to help us to understand this madness? We can sure pick them, huh? Never, ever happened before!!!
James and Loretta, along with a huge party of onlookers in Louisiana...
I'm sorry, some of the pic are not ours' however, they depict our party to a tee.
Wow, what a lot of nerve! I sure don't get it and don't even know what to say about this one except I hope they eat and drink too much and end up sick!
ReplyDeleteThe party looks fabulous and I would definitely be an "eater." I wish I could say I never heard of this rude behavior (theft!) but saw it at our office Christmas party one year. I was on clean-up brigade and saw one of my colleagues taking a whole pie and putting it in her tote bag. I had no qualms about reminding her that left-overs were for the office.
ReplyDeleteSounds like some of those folks who go around crashing weddings! They're just jealous cause they can't throw a party that good!
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless. As I was looking at the pictures, I was wondering what could have possibly gone wrong because it looked like an amazingly good time. Let's just hope Karma comes and bites them on the butt. Such craziness!
ReplyDeleteThat is awful!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have chased them down.
Now this is my kind of party. Lots of good food and I love fish. I bet the band was great!
ReplyDeleteWow I'm stunned......maybe hire a couple bouncers next time. Anyway your pictures are great it looks like everyone truly enjoyed themselves.
ReplyDeleteJust remember what goes around comes around.
