I don't have anything to share at the moment, but I will later. Still, I wanted to introduce a topic that might spark some discussion here, given that things tend to slow down in a forum with fewer than a hundred members, many of them inactive. Whether you're thinking back to the family you lived with as a child or the family that you created as an adult, what frequent activities or rituals did you have that were important to the family or to you as an individual?
Often characterized as Sunday drives, we had something similar, only on Saturdays rather than Sundays, given that, between the morning and evening services, and family visits or visitors that tended to fall on Sundays, there wasn't much time for Sunday drives. But on Saturdays, not every Saturday, but often, whoever wanted to come along would go for a drive, either to parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula that were remote from us or to places in Northern Wisconsin. Sometimes, my parents would have a destination in mind, but the ride itself was the activity.
