Delectable scones to be topped with butter jam and cream (whipped cream mind you)
Saturdays are popular world around. Americans have a very strong tendency to adore weekends, Saturday in particular.
Saturdays for a family of seven are quite an event. We start out by running around to different grocery stores and seeing what’s available and buying for the week. After that, other members of the family (i.e. myself) are awake and fully clothed and we all head out for breakfast. Breakfast as a Saturday morning tradition is always very important. We must go to a particular restaurant for scones and lemonade, perhaps pancakes and a cappuccino but always scones and lemonade. Quickly following is a visit to several art galleries, a few arts and craft and furnisher stores for fun. Recently we’ve become enraptured buying a set of living room furnisher and therefore must find cushions, pillows and then move on to a set of dinning room dishes. This might be even completed by a few more visits to other grocery stores in search if nonexistent bread.
Afternoons are generally up for grabs. If you’re a real adult (over 40) you take a nap while the fan blows to keep the flies away and the room cool. If you’re a real kid (under 13 and under) you watch an Abbot and Castillo movie on the computer. If you’re a real teen (16), you’ll catch up on Facebook and make sure you still have more friends then all your friends. If you’re…whatever I am…you’ll busy yourself reading international news, writing long emails and listening to the fan drown out Carrie Underwood, Edith Piaf, and Chris Tomlin. Sometimes a family tennis match and pizza dinner is in order.
In the evening, my sister and I head out to Bible study where we are the only ones on the group who don’t speak Afrikaans. It’s still a very cultural event because we get to hear fellow youth talk about cricket and rugby which aren’t exactly in the sphere of our knowledge.
Naturally there’s the promise to update your blog Saturday evening and then it doesn’t happen. Such a shame….
