When I was young, Sunday was the day for my dad to watch "cowboy movies" on TV. My sister and I rode the local bus to church. When we got home, the house always smelled wonderful because mom would be cooking dinner and baking special goodies. The best memories I have of these times was during the fall season. Mom made some of the best Norwegian pastries I have ever tasted. All our neighbors could attest to that. We could either go outside and play or sit quietly and watch tv with dad. We tried to keep busy doing something so time would go by faster and dinner would be ready. To this day, I have that same feeling on fall Sundays that I had then. There are only two of us in my household so there isn't much baking or cooking going on. We watch football (go Greenbay) and I get online and either read the online paper or catch up on other things. Sometimes I work on my crafts. Sometimes I just snuggle under a blanket and read a good book. It is still a nice relaxing day. No working, no "I have to go here or there", and no rushing to get something done. I am glad that something in my life is the same. I love chilly Sundays.
Enjoy your Sundays. Make memories. Laugh.
It's good to have nice memories from childhood and traditions that you can keep up with. I had a nice relaxing Sunday too. Glad yours was good too!
