Weekend Normalcy

David: Around here the weekends can easily slip into the oblivion with the rest of the week without being recognized. We don’t have anyone that makes sure we show up for work on Monday morning and stay ‘til five but in the same line of thinking there are many times that work is required of us on weekend days. For that matter, working on projects on Saturday and Sunday just doesn’t seem different from working on Monday – Friday.

Because of this, Sarah and I do our best to make a weekend for ourselves whenever we can. We sleep in, which isn’t hard. We work on whatever sounds appealing to work on. We watch movies and football and read books. On Sundays we do our best to listen to an Ipod sermon from Faith Community Church, the church we attended in Santa Cruz, CA. It is our little church service.

One of our more consistent events on the weekends is visiting the Cottage Bakery ran by Laura Saborio, our Canadian friend who is married to a tico here in the valley. They have a daughter, Erika. Laura makes world class pastries that we indulge ourselves in every weekend. She has a deck that she has turned into a sitting area that creates a neat little coffee house feeling. We always enjoy great food, beverages, and conversation.
