A Different Kind of Sunday




























Friends joined us for lunch. Dear friends who we went to visit a few months ago for the first time in almost 20 years. It was so good to have them to our home.

We served beef filets, roasted potatoes with rosemary, roasted baby tomatoes with basil and biscuits. The dessert was a strawberry pie with oatmeal crust. And whipped cream, of course.

Conversations with friends known from long ago are so very easy. Background information is unnecessary. It just takes a few moments to be brought up to date. We had lovely afternoon talking about deeper issues about love and life.

It was 5:30 before we even noticed.

It was not a normal Sunday. No bills were paid, no work was done around the house, no laundry was washed, no road trips were taken, and no naps in the crook of the couch. So marvelous to continue to get out of our routine and take small baby steps back into our old pre-illness life.

I am tired but happy.
