Sunday has always been sort of a day that I used to wind down, and get prepared for the coming week ahead. As a youngster, when spending time at my grandparents, it was sort of a special day. Church on Sunday morning, then Sunday dinner, and many times with extended family showing up, and Sunday, usually meant fried chicken and all the other fixings that went with it! Then relaxing out on the porch, or the living room depending on the weather, just hanging out and talking about all sorts of things. Sometimes, after church, on those rare occasions, when my grandfather was in the mood to eat out, and that meant Dairy Queen of course! One of the only places he would eat out at. Sometimes, we would even just go through the drive-thru, and then go to a park and have a sort of picnic.
But as I got older, there were many times being on the farm, Sunday was just another work day for us. But Sunday dinners were always a pretty special affair for us as a family. Once I left home, Sunday was many times just another work day, unless I happened to be scheduled off, which many times was very rare. But I got to the point in my career that I usually did happen to be off on Sunday, and I used that day to wind down and relax and get ready for the coming week. Usually just hanging out, listening to music and reading a book, and catching up on laundry and such things. Might catch a program or two on the TV, but just not getting into a big rush about anything.
Now days, being retired, Sunday is just another day of the week for me for the most part. Still things that need to be done and have to get done around the farm. I was up this morning about 7 am to go work on one of the tractors that needed some repairs. Many times, we have to get things done as soon as possible, because we are always in need of the equipment being able to be used at a moments notice, and then there are the cattle we have to check on and take care as well. Farming is a pretty much a seven day a week job!
But there is still the music!
