The sun also rises

.....getting up late Sunday morning. Sun shining. Slight breeze combatting the touch of humidity in the air. Shower. Freshly baked croissant brunch. Flying kites with son & hubbie in local park. Fun with son on playground. Sitting on deck next to son splashing with sprinkler, waterhose and buckets. Comfortable belgian dinner of twice fried 'frietjes' with stovers. Glass of red wine....

...feels almost like the Ernest Hemmingway novel - 'the sun also rises'-...mindless, carefree wandering through the day, going through the motions, aimed purely at self-satisfaction....

...love the feel of it at times.... but couldn't imagine it day-after-day...too much isolation, too much selfishness, too little involvement...
