What I love about Sundays

One of my favorite things about Sunday is CBS Sunday Morning News with Charles Osgood.  It's hardly 'news', but more like a collection of quirky stories about current events, interviews with interesting people (celebs and non celebs alike), and funny bits on interesting places that are "off the beaten path".  The stories are warm and make you feel good. The show always ends with a segment called "sounds of nature" where they play a scene that was recorded by a video camera out somewhere in the forest, in the arctic, in the desert, you name it. There are no human sounds, only nature for 30 seconds. Here is a clip from a segment on Brad Paisley, where he filmed a music video featuring the late Andy Griffith.

My mason jar full of sweet tea accompanied the CBS Sunday Morning News perfectly.

For lunch yesterday, I had Lean Cuisine's "Swedish Meatballs" and it was delicious! Less than 300 calories, tasty, and filling. Perfect. It was the first time I tried this kind, and it won't be the last.

Usually I enjoy some sort of cooking or baking on Sundays, and yesterday was no exception. I only made a very simple little snack: chocolate dipped pretzels. I had a bag of chocolate chips, so I melted some in a little glass bowl. Then just dip the pretzels in and lay them on aluminum foil to harden again. Simple and tasty! They were almost gone last night when I went to bed due to my snacking (as I'm making them) and my husband coming home with a growling tummy.

My Sunday ended with a little reading in bed, and a good night's sleep to follow. Perfection.
