Simple Sundays

We all long for the good life. Defined differently for people, it often includes fine dining in fancy restaurants, exotic vacations, etc. What I have come to know to be true for me is that I am living the good life and it is defined by far more simple things.
Sundays, when he is not traveling, is the time my son-in-law and I crack open a good bottle of wine and BBQ some steaks. We are constantly trying different bottles of reds and analyzing them. Why is it that, sometimes, a $35 bottle doesn't taste any better than our tried and true bottle of Wild Horse on sale for $14.99? In the interest of science and learning, we will continue to try more wine. HA!
Although it's not always a steak we BBQ, a thin rib eye is still our favorite. Sean puts Pa's on earlier than the others so it is really done the way her likes it. The two girls are total carnivores and we now must cook an additional steak for them to share. Jack sits beside us eating his chicken dinosaurs and Amber unwraps her bean and cheese burrito. Ahhh....
Perhaps the key to the good life is not in the location or the food, but in who is beside you enjoying it.
Insert a little prayer of thanksgiving here.
