The Sunday Walks

Back in March when our Sunday church services got temporarily cancelled (temporarily for eight months), we started having our own church services at home. This was sad, in that we missed our dear friends we worship with, but also, it was kind of great. Having intimate church time with just our family was wonderful. We had many tender times together. Also we had no specific time we needed to wake up or be anyplace. Troy and I took this opportunity to begin what became a weekly date. We didn't realize that at first - it just started that first spring Sunday morning when Troy said, "Hey. Let's go for a walk." And we did, and it was wonderful. A nice long walk. And we came home and I made us poached eggs on toast and it was just heaven. We decided to go the next week as well, and then the week after that. And soon we had a standing date. Every Sunday morning we woke up early, went for a long walk, and came home to enjoy poached eggs on toast. Each week we seemed to walk farther and farther until we had established a route we loved that wound through the avenues and up into the University of Utah. It's about 4 miles long. We pretty much went every single week. Peter joined us one week when he was here, and that's the only walking photo I have.

Well, church isn't cancelled any more. We go once or twice a month. And also it's freezing cold now. So we have stopped going for our weekly walks. And I really miss them, but not enough to go on a walk when it's 20 degrees outside.
