Sunday Morning ...

a summer rain is falling.  Almost the sound of a lullaby in the otherwise quiet.  A wonderful time for reflection, time for a few moments to stop the pace and just be.  I'm thinking of starting a memories post and would love to hear from you about your favorite memory.  In this hectic world its nice sometimes to stop and remember and relish the simplicity of years gone by.  Leave me a comment, send me an email and lets stroll memory lane. 

What brought this to mind is that we will spend some time this afternoon with cousins and there will certainly be talk of back then, laughter and heart stirrings.  I am looking forward to this.  The last time we had visited we had brought with us the largest Hershey bar we could find.  When my husband was a child and they would visit their grandparents, Grandpa would always give Hershey chocolate to the grandchildren.  He and his cousin had spoken of this not too long before our last visit ... they said that he would open the cupboard and there were stacks of candy bars just waiting for the little visitors.   A bar would be opened and three squares would be broken off and given to each child.  The candy bar we brought with us on our visit brought big smiles and conversation flowed through the afternoon of childhood memories.  Growing up I hadn't had grandparents and I find such delight in hearing these stories.  Yes, a day of reflection in the making.  It will be wonderful.  It is good.

I hope your day holds some treasured thoughts and moments as well.  Blessings.
