Lazy Weekend, Busy Weekend

[canyonwalker]

Last weekend was a lazy weekend. On Saturday we got a late start then went out for lunch and shopping. Sunday we planned to do a challenging hike at Pinnacles National Park, but as early Sunday morning rolled around we decided we both weren't feeling it. So we lazed around the house most of the day.

If it was a weekend wasted, it was a weekend well wasted. We needed the downtime to rest up from the previous weekend's hiking near Las Vegas and the Texas Panhandle. And Saturday's shopping included me finally buying a new iPhone after 5 years, so I did spend a few hours getting things moved over. Plus, we wanted to save our strength for next weekend's out-of-town hiking trip.

Next weekend? Yes! We've got plans laid in to visit some of the California deserts, particularly to see the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve and California's Red Rocks State Park. We'll leave Friday after work, drive 'til around midnight, hike all day Saturday and Sunday, and drag home Sunday night. Some weekends are lazy, some weekends are busy!

Lazy weekends are good!

I took up bellringing a few years ago, which means Saturday morning practice and Sunday morning service ringing. I enjoy the hobby immensely, and I'm not beholden to going to either of those, but it has made the concept of the lazy weekend much _much_ harder for me to achieve. Even going out to one of those and right back home in the afternoon doesn't feel the same as just being in the same house all day!

(Of course, as a schoolteacher I get some delightful lazy summer weeks...which inevitably become far and few between the "let's do interesting things!" busy weeks!)

Every time I read "bellringing" it conjures an image in my mind of you shaking a hand-bell next to a Salvation Army kettle. I presume, though, that you mean playing the bells at a church, likely one where there's a good set installed. My alma mater had a historic bell tower. The musicians there didn't call them "bells", though. They were chimes. And the musicians were chimes-masters.
