- Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] Sunday afternoon on Walton's Mountain was a time of quiet contemplation. We took it easy, or else worked at a slower pace, and enjoyed a brief respite from the cares that beset us during the week. After we came home from church and had dinner we permitted ourselves the luxury of play and relaxation. I remember one such Sunday in August.
