Treating myself to Sunday lunch

 I feel like I have a lot to get done today.  Well, because I do and it seems like the timing of some of it is very inconvenient.  Truth be told, it's not inconvenient because I don't have any plans, it just feels like that.  Michael is coming by this morning to pick up some things for his parents out of the garage.  There's no set time, which is absolutely fine but makes it a waiting game for me.  Then, I take Squirt to the vet this afternoon at 3, right in the middle of the afternoon.  But, as I said, it's not like I have anything going on today specifically, so it really isn't an issue.  My main goal is to get my kitchen cleaned.  Squirt stays in the kitchen these days and so his territory has been very marked LOL  He can't help it, really, but I need to clean before the smell becomes permanent.  Overall, he's doing pretty well these days for an old man, so I'm not going to complain.  I would rather have the smell and have him here than not!

Anyway, tomorrow is Mother's Day and I have no plans for it.  I will spend some time thinking about Mom, which I do every day anyway.  But I think I'm going to treat myself to making Sunday lunch. Now you may say that I cook all the time so how is this different?  Well, Sunday lunch was always a big deal growing up and it's one of those traditions that I've talked about before that I want to pick back up.  I can't afford to do it every week, but I can definitely do it more often.  But I want this to be an event for me.  I plan on setting my table, nicely, and using my buffet, presenting my food rather than leaving it on the kitchen counter.  Even if it is only me, I want that something special to enhance my meal.  Get out some of the good china and silver.  Treat myself.  A meal that would make Mary B. proud.  


As for now, I need to get going on my Saturday list of chores....kitchen cleaning included...and get myself ready for the weekend.  And I'll think about Mom and Grandmother, as always, and I will smile.

That is all.
