Yesterday's Sunday was not as fun as this one of a couple of weekends ago
when I invited a special, longtime friend to spend an Autumn evening with us.
That day we started in the gazebo with the heater on and a drink.
The sun was low and the birds came quietly to the feeders for their evening meal.
A few leaves were fluttering down, the breeze turned cool. . . . . .we moved
to the dining room.
I love the idea of sharing a 'Sunday supper' with a friend or friends, and keep
saying I must do it more often. We sometimes head to our daughter Kim's home,
just 12 mins. drive, on Sunday afternoons. Visiting for a while, we catch up the
past week's news, enjoy appetizers, a drink, and play with her Yorkie, Razzy, who
is always so pleased to see us. This means just a quick, light supper for the two of
when we return home ready for some Sunday evening television, usually PBS.
Last night was the fabulous Poldark finale - how we will miss it with those
beautiful, amazing actors, and the spectacular Cornish scenery. Near the end,
I caught a sly grin between Aiden Turner who played Ross Poldark, and
Robin Ellis, who played Ross in the original series so many years ago.
Robin was a heart throb in his own way, and I was so much younger but
remember it well. He was brought back in the part of the judge, appearing
now and then, in this newer production. I'm sure that was very special for him.
Sharing a casual meal and lively chatter with friends can be so wonderful.
I couldn't help wipe a tear when watching a scene in an Outlander episode we
watched this past week. Family and friends all sat down at Jamie and Claire's
kitchen table in their new home in North Carolina in another century, and for
once seemed to have time to relax and enjoy a meal in peace. . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .before another rollicking upheaval began to turn their lives
inside out!
Thanks for your kind thoughts - I'm fine.
Here's to a great week dear friends and readers.
