Family Extension Day

A bit of a ramble about this day at home ~ an extension of a great weekend in Vancouver
with my sons in Jason’s home. (Both a couple of years older than in this picture)
I have just spent nearly a week with my one or both of my sons, tempering anything untoward as being quite meaningless.

For today - no scheduled activities with one unexpected gift!
Bright sunshine when the weather man said rain.
(At this writing he has been redeemed - it is attempting to rain)

So, profound thoughts are put to rest for today.
An early morning for writing, then
dusting and vacuuming.
A wandering walk at the dog park at Dallas Road with Jeff and Dyogi, a lovely segue from morning to afternoon.

Afternoon’s energies spent 
cooking
preparing
baking
barbecuing

Cooking
Quinoa salad following Jason’s lead earlier in the week.

Preparing
Lunches for my next for four day shifts at work.
(Quinoa salad takes center stage.)

Baking
Two lovely loaves of whole wheat, flax meal and oatmeal bread
rest on the counter for a birthday dinner on Friday.

Barbequeing
Jeff barbequed a couple of delicious steaks to round out the afternoon.
Mmmmmm good.

Were there mishaps?
A couple of minor ones that did little to interrupt the day’s gentle flow.

“He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.”
 - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
