Family Matters

There was a caravan going to Ruston, La. for a family funeral on Friday afternoon. Two cars, total of eight made the trip. It was a good trip, saw family members that we hadn't seen in 10 years; made a side trip through the piney woods to three family cemeteries, small communities, and a couple of homeplaces. This all brought about many memories shared, funny stories, and admiration for the entire older generation of this family. The trip was bittersweet as we all realized that there probably won't be anymore big trips over there.

The weather was bright, sunny, hot, and humid. Peaches were in season and we bought many along with fresh tomatoes, cantaloupe.

Some "firsts" are actually "last times". This was one of those.
