Back when

Tim McGraw sings the song

"Back When"
Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two and four
A fried bologna sandwich
With mayo and tomato
Sittin' round the table
Don't happen much anymore

We got too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when

I love my records
Black, shiny vinyl
Clicks and pops
And white noise
Man they sounded fine
I had my favorite stations
The ones that played them all
Country, soul and rock-and-roll
What happened to those times?

I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies
Cause they put pop in my country
I want more for my money
The way it was back then

{CHORUS}

Give me a flat top for strumming
I want the whole world to be humming
Just keep it coming
The way it was back then

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when

I think it's the same with Sunday Dinner. I remember a time when you would either be going to some one's house or you'd have people in for Sunday dinner. It seems that that has become a thing of the past. With everyone's crazy work week schedules and usually Saturdays are spent running errands and doing other chores. Sunday has become the day to do nothing but relax and regroup for the next busy work week.

But not for our daughter. We were honoured today to be the invited guests at her and her hubby's home. And oooh what a treat it was! Dinner was stuffed bacon wrapped chicken breasts, broccoli with jalapeno cheese sauce, baked potatoes with her made up from scratch topping {cream cheese, mayonnaise and chives} - WOW - and I brought a coleslaw salad. Did I mention that dinner was super good? Then the piece de resistance home made baked cheesecake with sliced strawberries and blueberries.

oh. my. goodness!

We certainly took advantage of the sun shining and warm weather for the afternoon and enjoyed taking the dogs for an afternoon walk. We finished off the perfect afternoon by playing a couple games.

Sadly, before I knew it or was really ready for it, it was time to head for home.

Thanks Krystle & Gerard for a perfect way to spend a Sunday!
