Sunday With the Nephew

          I just have to write this out because I just thought it was strange yet a good aunt and nephew memory. This is more of a memory entry, which means it is going to be a short one instead of a long one. I hung out with my nephew last Sunday because he is in Fayetteville and I barely see him to start with. I know that is sad so I made a point to see him this month. We really didn't plan anything to do so we just planned it by ear, which was fun in itself.
          It is not surprising what we did. It just shows what family we come fun. I went up to Fayetteville after church last Sunday and we did have lunch and coffee planned at the place where my nephew works because I never tried their coffee and wanted to so I can the chance. We spent about a hour there and ate lunch. I had a yummy crepe for lunch, which was different because I usually just have desert crepe. It was filled with sweet potatoes, some little rice, and other things in it. It was a very cold and cloudy day but we still walked around the square.
           We tried to go to some antique shops but none of them were open on a Sunday. We did go to the Fayetteville Library and it was very big and different compared to the Bentonville one. It also had a nice place to sit on top of it with swings and everything so we spent a little time there but not too much because it was windy, which just made it colder. Where we sat from, I could see the Ozark mountains in the distance. It did have a pretty amazing view yet it was crazy to see with some of the buildings around it too.
             We are a book loving family and you could tell that last Sunday. Not only did we go to the library but we are also to the little old bookstore that was on the square. We spent probably about a hour there too, maybe a little more. My nephew did buy a couple of books but, surprisingly, I didn't. It was still fun to look though. I looked through the old children's book section, religion section, poety section, and cookbook section as well. Of course, it was warmer in there then it was at the library. Then I went back home to Bentonville and rested for a little bit because I started to make supper and get ready for the week.
               It is just fun when you have family that you can do those simple things with and have fun at the same time. I mean those things can be done with friends too but they would really have to understand how much I enjoy doing just that. It is not a hobby you can really explain to people as other hobbies are. Where with family, they know because they like it too because they were raised near the same way. I guess you can say that that is the greek part in my family. We are all book lovers. I mean you could even say I got the love of reading from my mom, which means my nephew got the love of reading and books from his grandma. I guess it is a tradition that is past down. It might be a strange tradition but yet it could be one.
              I know this is a strange entry and I am sorry about that if you didn't like it. Like I said at the start of it, it was more of a memory wrote down for me but yet there were some good pointers in it too that could really make other people think. That time was so simple but yet it meant a lot and I saw a lot in it.
