Happy Easter!

What a glorious day! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the family has already left for church (they are all involved in an Easter production) leaving me home to contemplate my morning, drink my coffee,and get ready quietly.
I hope that your Easter is as wonderful as it can possibly be, and leave you with one of my favorite songs….

Surfing Easter Weekend

 
Easter weekend is a busy time.  Not only are we getting ready for Easter for ourselves, but there is so much involvement with the church.  Flowers to arrange, productions to do, all kinds of stuff.  This year, Marc has to work after chruch and wo’t get home until late, so Easter dinner will be lower key, maybe even off-key, if you know what I mean.  But the most important thing about it is the celebration of new life.  The reseurrection of Christ gave man a chance at eternity, a  new beginning, a clean slate. Ham, jelly beans, and chocolate bunnies …read more

A St Patrick’s Day Tea, Victorian Style

The Victorians liked celebration. And teas were something that they seemed to be particularly fond of. The decoration and planning that went in to a tea might go on for months.
Who has that kind of time? Not me, but I still like to have a little tea celebration with the family. We often do have “tea” in the afternoon, however on holiday’s it is fun to kick it up a notch.
St Patrick’s Day is the 15th this year, which is Saturday. I believe it has been changed because of another holiday falling on the 17th. …read more
