Weekends

Last weekend was great, if short. I remember when a 2 day weekend was all we ever had, but now with 10 hour days 3 day weekends are the norm, at least for the field season. So a 2 day weekend seems way too short to get anything done. Mo has been here since Friday, and Saturday morning we fired up the MoHo and headed for the Sacramento Delta and a one night camping trip. Pictures and thoughts about it are on the MoHo Travels page so I won't repeat them here. It surprised me how relaxing it was. I talked to Deanna about this and she agreed. Even though it was just a short time, on Sunday morning we sat in the sun, listening to NPR and had a simple breakfast. I couldn't quite figure out the difference, why it felt more relaxing than sitting at home on a Sunday morning listening to NPR eating our breakfast. It has something to do with the "to-do" list that is always in the back of my mind when I am home. No matter how much I refuse to do the "to-do" on a day off, it's still there. So a weekend away is a good thing for that reason alone. No "to-do's! Loved it.
