Happy Labor Day

Monday morning. . . people all over Louisiana are waiting out hurricane Gustav to come and go. Some in New Orleans have not fully recovered from Katrina over 2 years ago. The supermarkets were packed yesterday. The streets of Ruston were busy. Passing vehicle after vehicle with bags packed miles high on top of them. Everyone trying to escape what could be a tragedy and only memories left from the previous. What usually is a fun filled relaxing long weekend for most, is just a long agonizing time this year. Prayers are with all of the families enduring the storm.

Onto happier thoughts. . . the Rush household had fun visitors. Dana, our friend from Memphis, and her dog Toby came to visit on Saturday. Their plans were to stay through Tuesday but due to the storm and traffic contra flows already in place, their trip was cut short. Craig grilled some steaks and we caught up on movies. Great time with good friends, and definately good food! Dana we love you & miss you already!
