Well, it’s time for me to wish you all a fond adieu until Monday, April the 25th. So, whether you consider it a sacred Christian observance, a time to color some eggs, or simply a well deserved 3-day weekend, Happy Easter! 🙂 ---

Easter falls on a Sunday this year. (I say this every year in multiple situations and there are always some people who will explain that it always falls on a Sunday, I’ll then argue about how that’s impossible) ---

I’ll be home for Easter. Whoo hoo! I generally dyed the eggs with the kids. Mid-daughter will do it this year. I’ll be there bossing around. And begging for a Cadbury egg. I might get to smell it.🤭 ---

For years I would call my brother on Easter morning way too early, like 5:30 or 6:00. When he’d answer, I’d say, “he has risen” and he’d answer, “indeed”, then I’d hang up. His wife put an end to that (I always have said he could have done better). ---

Happy Belated Easter! We had a great day. We celebrated Easter on Saturday, so we could see the grandkids. It was the first Easter we all celebrated together in one place in 2 years. We had 15 guests (all family and SOs).
