On Wednesday it was Valentine's Day. We don't normally go crazy on holidays. We're sort of simple people. After Prayer Meeting we came back home and did the evening chores. That doggone mink has really put a cramp in our style. Each night we have to be home at nightfall to lock all the hens in their 'safe house' enclosure. If we don't, we'll find the remaining flock maimed and killed. So once the hens were safely tucked in bed, we jumped in the vehicle and drove to Basile, Louisiana.
Basile is the home of DI's Restaurant. Tricia thought that might be a nice place to go celebrate. To top it off, Wednesday nights they have live Cajun music and one of our friends plays guitar in the band. We figured it would be fun to go listen to some good music, support our friend and eat some top notch food. DI's in in the middle of absolute nowhere, but the food is always off the charts. When we drove up, the parking lot was chockerblock full. The south end of the parking lot touches a grass air strip. We looked at a plane parked on the airstrip. Someone had flown in for a meal. Wow!
We had to put our name on a waiting list as it was packed, but we sat inside. Tricia peeked through the window and saw our friend, Warren, playing in the band. They were playing "The Back Door" by D.L. Menard. Soon they called our name and we were seated right near the band. They brought our appetizer of fried green beans. Yum! We split the extra large seafood platter. Delicious!
It was a simple Valentine's celebration, but an enjoyable one.
