a sunday well spent

After church, in the pouring rain, we drove for an hour while listening to This American Life and waited for friends at a pub, with a French press of coffee to share.  Later, we drove further north through farmlands and river towns, past thick layers of fog settling atop the Delaware and jacketed horses to visit a winery.  We each picked a bottle after tasting several -- white for him, red for me.  On our way home, the sun peeked out from behind clouds.
A different sort of Sunday for us -- one with less homework and laundry, and one well spent after a week of tiny disappointments.
