Autumn and early winter are my favorite times of the year. I love the cooler weather, the fall colors, Halloween, pumpkins, Thanksgiving, and the spirit in the air during the Christmas season. I have a personal goal to enjoy every day of my life but tomorrow I am going to kick it up a notch and take the day off. My wife and I are driving to Elizabethtown to visit our youngest son. He is a Catholic priest and is currently the associate pastor of three parishes. Part of the experience will be to have lunch at the Whistle Stop Café in Glendale, Kentucky. It’s a small place right next to some railroad tracks but the food is to die for. I am looking forward to the drive there and back because we are at the peak of the autumn season and the leaf colors are beautiful. I can only hope the construction on I-65 isn’t as bad as it was the last time I headed south. It is a good thing to occasionally take a day off from work to enjoy the simple things of life. My wife and I are fortunate. We have two sons and both of them turned out well. They seem to enjoy being with us and we enjoy being with them. I am sure we occasionally make them crazy because that’s part of our job description as parents. On the flip side they occasionally make us crazy because they are still our children even if they are grown men. Bright and early on Saturday morning I expect to see my granddaughter. She will spend the weekend with my wife and I and we’ll go see the new “Book Of Life” movie. Every year when they announce the Academy Award nominations the only category where I’ve seen all the movies is the children’s animated films. My granddaughter is the icing on the cake of a blessed life.
