Today's Prompt:
How did you spend your Sunday mornings growing up? What are some of your favorite memories?
I have to admit I have very fond memories of Sunday mornings growing up.
If I spent the weekend at my grandmother's house, I would wake up to an awesome breakfast (grits, bacon, eggs, sausage, you name it). After breakfast, my youngest aunt and I would make the walk to our church for Sunday School and church service. After church, I looked forward to stopping at The Pantry (a corner gas station) with the two shiny quarters I'd earned the day before from one of my favorite uncles to get a Jungle Juice and a box of Johnny Appleseeds. The absolute highlight of my week :)
Sundays in the spring were my absolute favorite! The ultimate Daddy's girl, I would get to go with my Daddy to the baseball field to watch him and his teammates slaughter the other teams. I'd spend hours cheering him on and reading on the bleachers or under a tree. After the games we would often stop by one of the small country stores to get slices of lunchmeat and a rare treat of a Nehi Grape Soda!
I just realized my two favorite memories involve sweets...not much has changed since I've gotten older :) Now that I have my own family, I realize that I'm making memories and setting the foundation for how they spend their Sundays when they get older. Most of our Sundays involve going to worship service. However, I don't feel guilty on the Sundays when we all curl up together and just rest and relax after a long week of work, school and chores. We need that down time to prepare ourselves for the upcoming week.
