My family were not regular churchgoers, so breakfast was the big event for the day. We would get up early and go hunting for Easter eggs. Then Mom would use those eggs to make breakfast. Biscuits, topped with sliced eggs, topped with cream-curry gravy. Iā€™m not religious, but I miss that. ---

I ate an egg. It was pink with dots. The grandwrex were horrified. My Easter is now complete! šŸ‡ ---

We did an egg hunt at home with the little one. I got a white chocolateā€¦ _unicorn_ to gnaw on. No bunnies left at the store. Its name is Crafty Honey Blossom. My kid liked the egg hunt but heā€™s been sleeping all day. Like falling asleep on the floor, sleeping for two hours, then falling asleep again. Not sure whatā€™s going on with my unusually sleepy boy, but at least he got to do the egg hunt. ---

Happy Easter! Rejoice! So that the families with kids could have Sunday to themselves, we had everyone over on Saturday to celebrate. I hid plastic eggs filled with candy and I also created an Easter basket hunt for the kids with clues they had to follow. It was fun watching kids from the age of 14 down to 3 having a great time. I bucked the system and instead of the usual ham and cheesy potato dinner, I made lasagna. It was much easier. I only needed a salad and garlic bread for the sides and my sisters brought them. All in all, it was a really nice day. ---

On Opening Day, hope springs eternal for all! But that will change for many come June, July, August Happy Spring.

I was brought up in the Lutheran church, and I brought my kids up in the Methodist church, but I broke with religion many years ago. Nonetheless, Iā€™ve always made an Easter basket for the adult daughter who still lives here and I send a little something to the one who lives far away. But this year, even though Iā€™d bought candy, I somehow _forgot_ that yesterday was Easter until mid-afternoon! The Easter bunny didnā€™t show up until just before dinner (and the candy package is getting mailed out today). If only Iā€™d checked in with the Dope early yesterday morning! Happy belated Easter, everyone! (I think that works - itā€™s not like He wouldnā€™t still be risen.)
