Easter

Easter is a time for reflection, resurrection, love…

As I was grilling vegies for the antipasto;

I cut into the large red onion to find this…

100_0502

With the forecast calling for a gloomy day, we woke to the warm

sunshine. As my dear friend, Marlene, says…it was a honey of a day!

It was a day of bubbles, Easter egg hunts, and PEEPS…

Easter 20111

Magnolia cuttings, Hyacinth, and Tulips galore…

Easter 2011

Squirt guns became hoses; hoses became soapy tarps to slide on.

The most decadent of the water fun? The washed out recycle bin

became the “hot tub” of the moment…”bring me hot water, please”!

Easter 20112

A surprise!

Although I will not be attending the Royal Wedding;

I did get Royal mail...

Tucked inside…a beautifully wrapped piece of art was gifted to me…from my friend across the Big Pond…

Before the company was to go; we were blessed with Max’s show.

Max and his Mouse pals brought Disney to us live, on stage, in the living room!

We cheered, we clapped and we laughed. Oh! what a special little boy he is.

There no longer exists; the piles of dishes, the platters, the pots the pans…

If you weren’t here, you’d never know the muddy clothes and the muddy floors were part of the day.

The Legos, the toys; all in their places.

The Easter grass, jelly beans, and what~nots on the floor have been vacuumed away.

Last, but not least…I hear quiet, only the sounds of the house can be heard.

Everyone, but me, is tucked into bed fast asleep…

Another Easter has come and gone; another day of family, friends who have become family, and love.

Grandparent’s Day

GRANDPARENTS DAY

It’s hard to drive 2 days or fly to the middle of nowhere to attend,

so I am doing the next best thing…sending “us”…
