It's Been A While!! Sorry

Hey guys! I know it has been a while since I last blogged. Since our visit to Nanny Faye's house life has been quite an adventure!Let's see where should I begin?
We had to evacuate for Hurricane Gustav....Praise God we did not have any damage!Just a lot of clean-up and inconvenience due to lack of electricity! But overall we were satisfied with the outcome of the storm for our family and for of church family as well! I will post a slide show of our shelter from the storm. We left Norco, around 4 a.m on the Saturday before the storm. Our Parrish was in a mandatory evacuation as of noon on Saturday. So our little head start was great planning on Rick's part! About an hour or so after we left is when most of the traffic tie-ups occurred! We arrived at our first destination of McKinney, Texas on Saturday afternoon! My Ex- Brother-In-Law Cary had invited Rick and I to stay at his house! How kind was that? He was so generous to us ! We stayed there until after the storm had passed. We moved over to Benbrook , Texas to my sister Darlin's house later in the week! It was such a nice thing for she and her husband Joey to invite us in to invade there life for a few days! When you invite the Mayeaux tribe for an evacuation....you get a lot more than you expected!!!LOL Thank you Darlin and Joey your hospitality was above and beyond "our" expectations! Rick drove back to Norco on the Friday after the storm to clean up and check things out. While he was still here at home we did get our electricity back on the Sunday afternoon.So being that things were better we of course came home! Only to be visited from our "Other " little storm IKE! For Ike we did loose electricity for around 13 hours or so. But things of course could have been much worse!
