Sunday Is a Great Day For:

Going to church, of course, what did you think I was going to say?  

Wearing a maxi dress because it is oh so comfortable and still somehow you look good and put together; like classy, fancy, daytime appropriate jammies. Also, you hope being completely covered will mean spending less of the three will be freezing cold. It doesn't.

Taking a drive to gawk at beautiful mountains and dream of a day when we buy one of those unique and charming houses (or better yet build our own). 

Trying to quickly finish a melty, banana creamie while taking a picture in the reflection of a dirty mirror. 

Spending time with family eating, laughing, discussing politics, and taking turns reporting on things learned at regional conference.  

Taking a sister-in-law to my sister's house to quickly pick something up, 

remembering that I can never really quickly pick something up from my family. 

We all like each other too much, no visit is ever just business, or all that quick. 

Standing in the dark on the driveway hurriedly telling stories and catching up on anything.  

Talking to a little nephew that can now say my name. 

Having two nieces, at two different times quietly pull me aside and ask "Do you know who that girl is?" referring to the sister-in-law. They seem to be happy for me when I explain.

One of them says with a smile, "so is she your family?" I confirm. We both smile now because we think family is a pretty great thing. 

Sundays are a great way to start each week.
