It was a glorious day for our family as we celebrated my mother's 80th birthday! And just as my parent's taught us, we began the day giving thanks to God around the Eucharisitc Table at Mass. There were about 250 people present along with the Bishop who presided. (Bishop Gainer had traveled from Lexington the night before, was diverted to Alexandria, LA because of weather, then made it to Houston where his connecting flight to Beaumont was cancelled!!!! I picked him up in Houston and we had an oportunity to have some quality time together.) I was also honored to have my "adult servers" from my parish of St. Mark in Richmond be in attendance. The musicians traveled "across the border" from Lake Charles, LA and included about 20 voices, flutist, violinst and organist. After Mass, we headed to the Brown Center for lunch and cake! Despite the downpour and the occasionally "leakage".....a good time was had by all. That evening, my mother even hosted all of those who traveled "ou tof town" for an evening meal at our home.
