Well, this past Sunday was not nearly as nice as the last with all of the wedding festivities, but still it was a refreshing break from the routine of work and school. I chatted with my overseas friend who lives without Sundays recently; of course we could not talk on a Sunday as she was at work … I cannot imagine!

Too busy to write lately. Crazy at work, busy on the weekends. Hard to squeeze it all in.
We had a great Sunday a few weeks ago. Family friends made a wedding and we were invited to all of the festivities. The wedding itself was on Saturday night, but there were parties before and a big brunch the day after – on a Sunday! We were among several families hosting the brunch. We have been planning it together over the last few months. Nearly 100 people, mostly family of the bride and groom and out of town guests, were there. Of course we have known many of them for years, but some of the guests we only met this weekend. But by Sunday, we were all like family. We had spent time together eating, toasting, dancing, laughing and enjoying each other’s company. It was great fun.

Rise and shine, its another Sunday morning. Thought it best to write early today since we are off for the day in a few minutes. Off to drive several hours and visit relatives who live in the Southern part of the State.

It is always a festive noisy gathering with three generations of family gabbing, playing, running around and of course eating. There are birthdays spanning the generations and a cake for each. Different cakes even for each person celebrating their birthday. Read the rest of this entry »

Ah…what a lazy Sunday we have had. This past Sunday it rained and rained. It was beautiful. We stayed inside all day. I woke up at my usual time and took a peek out the window. When I saw just how gray it was I turned over and curled up and went back to bed. It was just so cozy.

Ah yes, I take them for granted. Don’t even think twice about it. Don’t even give it a second’s thought. Sundays. And their partner, Saturday night. A friend of mine recently moved abroad to a place where Sundays are just like Mondays and Tuesdays and Wednesdays. No different, just a work day or school day or camp day. She tells me up and down that once you are in the midst of a Sunday such as this, that it is no big deal. It doesn’t feel strange, and she doesn’t feel short-changed. I don’t believe her for a second. Read the rest of this entry »
