Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Sunday has long been one of my favorite days. I'm not overtly religious, although I'd like to think I'm spiritual in my own way. No, Sunday for me is about sleeping in, a big breakfast, reading the paper over strong coffee and then transitioning over to a book. Oh, and work in some sort of slow cooker thing I throw together for the evening meal.

Put simply, Sunday is a day I take it kind of slow. After the usual stuff this morning, we ran out and got a nice big roast to toss in the crock pot. I found a recipe for a "hickory smoked" roast, so I made some of my barbeque sauce to go with it and the hub made some potato salad. Mmmm. Potato salad.

We then wandered off in search of lunch while we let supper cook. We wound up at the Churchill Cafe over on Republic Road. What a pleasant surprise! The food was good. The iced tea rocked and I already love their coffee. It's a neat place too, with couches and little nooks for folks to hang out and drink their coffee and surf the web. Totally the kind of place a bookish geek like me gets geeked about.

Then it was off to the library. You have to understand that where I'm from in Virginia the libraries sucked big time. Unfortunately, the state just didn't put the kind of money into the libraries that they do here in Greene County. Good grief, the Borders I went to in Virginia wasn't as nice as the library I go to here on South Campbell.

And I couldn't think of a more perfect day to be curled up on the couch, in front of the fire, reading a book smelling my roast working away in the kitchen. Gads, I feel a good mood coming on!
