Happy Easter! 🐰
Hello Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Our Sunday was lovely. We started with church, breakfast, and then a lovely day at my brother-in-law's. I wore a green sparkly top, my mother's gold watch, stud earrings, and I didn't take one picture! Not even of the delicious grilled lamb chops my brother-in-law made or the yummy fruit pavlova with fresh whip cream my sister-in-law brought. The food was divine and it was great day celebrating one of the most important days....we are blessed ♱
And even though I didn't take any photos, I must admit it was nice to have my phone tucked away for the day. I'm trying to be better at that ♥
Easter (as with all holidays) are much different these days. John is grown so there are no more egg hunts or Easter Bunny surprises anymore. That makes me sad, but there are still games, and laughs, and coffee chats galore. And I love that. My mom is not here obviously, and that changes everything about everything. I'm still trying to get used to living with it. My mom was the anchor of my family and now that she's gone, I cannot even begin to tell you how things have changed. People and dynamics change and I've spent way too long trying to understand it. It's sad, but I must carry on. And I will.
I ate way too many jellybeans and Cadbury mini eggs and I have not one single regret. When we got home I managed the strength to do a lap around the neighborhood in hopes of digesting before bed. It kinda-sorta worked, if not physically, then mentally at least :)
I hopped into my stretchy pants, watched two episodes of Downton Abbey (I'm rewatching again!!!) and off to bed I went ♥
I love Easter. I love springtime. I'm so happy the flowers are starting to bud. May good days lay ahead for all of us!
Happy new week, Friends! I'll be back tomorrow! Xx
