This is my mom and dad with my three grandsons. I am fortunate to have loving parents and loving grandsons on either end of the spectrum.

It was Mama and Daddy's 60th Wedding Anniversary and we had a celebration set for them at their house for Sunday afternoon but Hurricane Gustav had other plans and they were under a mandatory evacuation starting at 6 Sunday morning so we had our celebration with family and then all ended up going our separate ways.

Still, we had a nice family get together over the weekend and had a really great seafood dinner with the family at the Blue Marlin on Saturday night.

Here is a picture of the family except for my brother, Henry and his family. It seems that it is hard to get us all hemmed up together to get a picture but I have learned to cherish the time we have no matter how little it is.

Family is truly one of the gifts that God has given us.
