Our family gathered today at Perilloux Place for a celebration dinner. My special Lake Pontchartrain shrimp and good red wine were among the feastings.
One year ago today on a Sunday we were scattered to all parts of the State as evacuees with Hurricane Katrina bearing down on Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
Though we all suffered flooding and wind damage we celebrated the fact that we are all alive, our houses and gardens are being reconstructed and our children all have their jobs.
We evacuated with our ten pets collectively, and only one, Caitiri, is no longer with us.
We took time to remember all the friends we lost during and in the aftermath of Katrina.






We Remember Caiteri
