It's Sunday afternoon and I'm sitting on the deck under the patio umbrella in my recliner camp chair. It's partly cloudy with large tritely fluffy clouds occasionally blocking the sunshine. It's breezy and warm and nice. I should probably be wearing shorts if only because I can. The birds are singing or squawking (depending on the listener's mood I suppose) and the sound from the traffic 20 yards away only bothers you if you let it. It's nice here. Not exactly peaceful but still a bit of niceness.

I forgot to set the alarm clock last night. This morning I woke up around 10:07am. Church starts at 10am. Normally I think I'd just skip but I didn't get to go last week so I decided to go in anyway. I got there just as Mark started the sermon. I missed most of the introduction but was seated by the time he prayed. He's starting a new series on the book of Galatians.

I didn't realize it until the end of the service, but this was my week to help clean up. It's a good thing that I decided to go. I wouldn't want to make thing more difficult for the others that did that today. I also wanted to go to lunch with friends but they were going for chinese and well, I didn't feel like it. I ended up getting a tasty bavarian pretzel melt sandwich and a bottle of "Tradewinds Honey Tea with Ginseng" at Sheetz. So I ate alone.

I wish I had spent more time with Mom and Dad while they were here. I was busy and they weren't here long. They're probably on the road to PA now.

I'm thinking about doing that political cartoon drawing today. That shouldn't be too much like work, eh?

Maybe I'll just put the laptop down and close my eyes for a while. Maybe I'll just lay back and relax here in the fresh(ish) air and try not to get too curious about the insect/animal sounds coming nearby.
