A Visit to Family

     Part of living the good life involves giving attention to family. The three boys that my wife and I were given the opportunity to raise are the reminders that, no matter what goes on in our lives or what goes on in the world, family is intended to enrich the human condition and give a solace that can only be explained by a relationship with our creator.

    This Labor Day weekend, my wife and I traveled to Arizona to visit our oldest son and his wife of, almost, 11 months. We traveled Amtrak from New Orleans to south central Arizona (more about the Amtrak trip in another blog) and are now, at this writing, visiting them.

    Related, somewhat, to this blog about family is a story about three creatures we left behind at home in Louisiana: our "grand dogs." These are the three orphans that our sons left us at the time of their eventual (and eventful) departures from the "nest." More about these "puppies", also, in another blog - view a brief video of the puppies and one morning of their daily routine, also in another blog.

Until then, enjoy the good life.
