A Quiet Saturday with a Little Music
Saturday finally arrived—the day I had originally planned to celebrate Mr. C’s birthday. Unfortunately, things didn’t quite go as planned. Mr. C had been feeling pretty sick since Thursday night, so we made the decision to postpone the celebration I had been looking forward to. Of course, his health comes first, so we decided to just take the day slow and easy.
Most of the morning and early afternoon were very low-key around the house. I spent some time puttering around, doing a few little things here and there, while Mr. C mostly rested and tried his best not to feel miserable. I also worked a bit in my Mora journal, which was a nice, peaceful way to spend some time. Sometimes those quiet moments are exactly what we need.
Later in the afternoon, I mentioned to Mr. C that I might like to get out of the house for a little while—maybe run over to Cotton Blossom or somewhere nearby just to break up the day. I knew he wasn’t feeling up to going anywhere, and he told me I should just go ahead and get out for a bit if I wanted to.
I first tried calling my cousin Brenda, but she didn’t answer. So I reached out to my friend Nancy instead. As luck would have it, she told me that a friend of hers was playing live music over in Elgin that evening. Since Elgin isn’t too far from us, we decided it sounded like the perfect little outing. David Halliburton has been performing in small venues for many years. Nancy and him seem to be really close friends, which is totally cool.
Nancy came by the house around 8 o’clock, and we headed over to hear him play. While we were there, I also got to meet his wife, which was really nice. We ended up having a really enjoyable time. I was surprised that I knew quite a few of the songs he was singing, which made it even more fun to sit back and listen.
It was simply nice to get out on a Saturday night and spend some time with a lifelong friend. Even though the birthday celebration didn’t happen like we had planned, the evening still turned into a pleasant little adventure.
And that was pretty much how I spent my Saturday.
Did y’all have any fun plans this weekend? I’d love to hear about it. Drop a quick hello down in the comments and let me know what you were up to.
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday, and thank you so much for stopping by my blog.
