Sunday's are very special to me. The only thing that sucks about Sunday's is just that Monday is the next day- and nobody likes a Monday.
For as long as I can remember Sundays have been about Family. Every Sunday we have a family dinner at about 5:30. It's usually the only time that we are all together for dinner the entire week. Which is kind of sad. In my dream world, I think that families should sit down for dinner together every night. I know it's very hard to do, especially as everyone grows older. Everyone has their own agenda and are busy within their own lives. Oh well, at least I am able to have 1 night with my whole family for dinner.
Before I go on, I should mention that when I refer to "everyone eating a home cooked meal" exclude my brother, Tyler. He is the pickiest eater I know. His diet consists of Mac and Cheese (Kraft ONLY), bagels, pizza, chicken nuggets, and he's usually pretty good about breakfast foods...minus bacon, eggs, or sausage...although he claims that he has eaten a bite of bacon before (not true).
Besides the home cooked meal, the conversation at the dinner table is like no other. My Grandmother attends Sunday night dinner- except when it's something she doesn't like. She is one character, let me tell you. I know I have mentioned that in a previous blog (Meet the Jefferson's), but she is indescribable. There is just no other way to put it. Last week, she mentioned that she was considering the idea of dating. I am 75% sure she was joking and was trying to get a rise out of us, but I was sure to tell her how I felt about that little idea that she had. Hell to the NO. At 74 years old, and widowed for 5 years, I think that a companionship is acceptable, but nothing more. Oh, that woman! You never know what might come out of her next!
Love you Gram!
On another note, I really enjoy the song " Keep Your Head Up." Up until today I had no idea who sang it, but I think it should be my theme song. What do you think?
