Quiet Sunday.

Sunday afternoon. Rain is gently falling on a crisp day. We gather at my in law’s for lunch.

We sit at the table, talk, catch up. Shortly after, the kids sit quietly to watch a movie. Some adults join. Others relax with a quick nap.

I make a pot of coffee, put on a jacket on go to the deck.

Sounds like a relaxing day G!

Weather is very similar here - met some good friends for brunch and came home opened a bottle of wine and have been relaxing this afternoon.

Enjoy my friend!

Some quiet time. These are the chairs in which my late father in law and myself sat to talk politics, life, business and everything in between. This, the wooden ashtray he used while we laughed.



And this, one of his favorite cigars. Still in his home humidor.

My family is great. Everyone healthy. I can enjoy this precious moment while I share with you, my virtual family. Tomorrow, another hectic Monday. But today...a quiet Sunday to remember and share.

Have a great week, TRF!

Nice!
Enjoy your quiet time.
It's nice you have the little artifacts such as the wooden ash tray etc that bring back such great memories.
A reminder to us all that life is precious and to enjoy each others company as much as possible while we all still can.
Thanks for sharing...sometimes it's the simple things in life which bring us the most pleasure.

Days like these are too few and far between, but that’s what makes them so special.

It's the continuous arc of life my friend. Most will notice it but few will savour it. The tender mercies are the most important. Enjoy and relish in the moment.
