Fleur de Aleta

I have a confession to make.... I cried when I took this picture. I don't know if the picture is clear or not, it was taken at night. On the left is my Dad... he had 3 heart surgeries with a period of 30 days. Next month will make 4 months since his surgeries. On the right is my Mom... she had 2 eye surgeries. The doctor said "she made history twice" (they video'd both surgeries), because her eye situation is very unique. And here they are... walking together, hand in hand. It's beautiful. Just beautiful... because in the past couple of months, this picture... walking hand in hand... it was wondered if they would be able to do this again. And here they are... I don't want to take moments like this for granted ever again. (I also participated in Sunday Citar and Scavenger Hunt Photo's today.)

I’m participating in Jade’s “Happiness Is” Happiness is…. ( hosted by Jade ) Family. The below picture is Greg’s family, but we’re missing one niece and one nephew in the picture. Greg is one of four children. It’s a really nice size family. Every time there’s a family gathering, topics of conversation get crossed across the room and everyone laughs. “Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life! ~ Albert Einstein “When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.” ~ Joyce Brothers “You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.” ~ Desmond Tutu

(Grab the button on the right sidebar) Welcome to “ABC of Your State” ~ This challenge is based on friends and bloggers asking about Louisiana, as well as my interest in travel and learning about other places. I’d love to read about your state or travels (Even though it says "your home state" - it's open to any place you have lived or traveled too)! Please feel welcome to join in. There should be a linky for you to post your website address at the bottom of this post. D is for ~ D-Day Museum. A lot of people think "Blah, Blah, I don't want to see a museum on vacation." There are museums and then, there are Museums. This one Museum you don't want to miss. It's not a museum with just uniforms and weapons; it's so much more. The D-Day Museum shows how amazing the people of that generation were, not just courageous, but smart... and humble. It's not a museum giving just history, it's a Museum about transformation of a nation ...

Sent to me in an email and thought I'd share....
