Almost everything I ate was delicious. The Prime rib with horseradish and the shrimp were probably my favorites.

The most memorable moment was getting an email from my daughter in Belize wishing me a happy Easter. She is an inveterate traveler and I'm very proud of her.She always remembers me.

No guests this year, just my husband and me but I had the pleasure of seeing a very special friend at church. Her name is Danielle and she is deaf and developmentally delayed.  She has grand mal seizures and the last one put her in the hospital for a month. This was her first time out. She's in a wheel chair for the time being, but she sat for a while in the pew and fell asleep on my lap.  I am her sign language interpreter in church and being with her gives me great joy. She is always happy and loving and knowing her makes my problems seem like nothing.

If I could have changed anything, it would have been the weather. We had another day of solid rain.

I love our traditional Easter Brunch and hope to have another one just like it next year. I hope my two grown kids can join me next time but they are 30 and 26 and prettey much have their own lives now.

1. tastiest thing - butter cream egg. I wait all year for these puppies.

2.  the Easter egg hunt.

3. phone call from Australia (okay, they weren't here, but we got to TALK to them)

4.  would not have woken up at 5 a.m. Might not be so tired & sore now.

5.  we have company coming later this week - friends we haven't seen in a year & a half.

1. What was the tastiest thing you had to eat on easter?
I made a big breakfast of hashbrowns, sausage, scrambled eggs and biscuits.

2. What was the most memorable moment of the day?
The egg hunt with the kids.

3. Who was your most special guest (person you were most excited to see)?  Well, my little niece was adorable at age 3.

4. If you could change anything about your day what would it be?
I would have gotten better sleep the night before.

5. Who is already planning for the next holiday or special event and what is it?
No big plan really.  I do intend to have some backyard barbeques this summer.


Hey guys, your answers are all really great! Here's mine.

1. So many good things to eat make it hard to choose, but the smoked venison was so tender and just really, really good---having a chef for a neighbor really paid off!

2. My husband and I and our kids all went four wheeler riding in the woods early in the evening. It was hot out, but the trees provided shade and the air smelled sweet. It was good to be outside.

3. We enjoyed our neighbors baby, she is 18mo. old and was just as cute as a bug! We bought her some bunny ears and she wore them while she gathered eggs in the back yard with my kids. It made me realize just how big my own daughter is. She is 9 and she is almost like a little pre-teen. Scary!

4. I agree about the sleep the night before thing. We watched the fight and had company untill 2:30 am. Then my husband and I got into a stupid arguement which led to one of those deep relationship conversations and before I knew it, it was 5 am. That would be a whole other thread---but we made up, we never go to bed angry...it is just the same fight that we have about once every 2 or 3 months.

1.  Mango-Raspberry-Lime sorbet my sister-in-law made

2.  Dinner with family

3.  My 4 nephews who played quietly and ate at a separate table

4.  Not had to deal with the fall out of mentally ill brother-in-law

5.  Hubbies and my birthdays are in a few weeks so we'll have another big family do

1) the most tastiest thing I ate was a toss up between the chocolate (milk, ice cream, and bunny) and the chinese food we had for supper.

2) The most memorable thing of the day was when I dressed myself, did my hair myself, and was able to exercise for the first time in four weeks. I felt so normal.

3) We did not have any guests yesterday. We were asked over to my aunt's house for supper, but instead since my mother was working, we got take out and went to eat with her. It was nice. She wasn't expecting it.

4) If I could change anything about the day, it would have been that I would have taken it easy with the work out. I did 30 minutes of run/walk on the treadmill and 20 minutes of weights. This morning my right side is now swollen (ankle, knee, wrist).

 

5) I am not planning anything speical for any holiday, but I am getting excited to visit my boyfriend who lives in Virginia this summer. I am worried though. I haven't told him I was diagnosed with RA yet. Don't want to scare him off. I am hoping the swelling will be under control by the time he comes here, and I go see him again.
