Easter Weekend - lonely egg hunt and more





Easter weekend 2020 version shall lack pretty little girls in Easter finery. Our house (an hour away from Kevin's ) will not host an egg hunt - unless I cajole Ray into one. Somehow, that could be quite pitiful.

Doubt there's a basket full of treats (though I admit I've had jelly beans and chocolates through this whole Covid situation, and I am convinced they are a barrier to the virus).

If Ray finds and buys a small ham on Friday, we shall probably slice it and share with his folks.
A teensy celebration.

An Easter in April just means spring to me. A season of hope, flowers, fresh green grass, some allergy sneezing and coughing, and I'll repeat the word hope.

Easter 2020 - make the best of it, stay healthy, take a deep breath, and let's look to the near future with hope.  All the best, my friends.

  1. It sounds like this weekend will be the peak of this mess, so fitting Sunday is Easter, reminding us there is hope for salvation.

  3. Hi Joanne ... let's try again - lovely ... glad to see family enjoying themselves. Take care and enjoy that ham when you get it ... I've been out for a walk looking out at the sea - now home ... as there's a classical concert on - St John Passion by Bach ... which has just started ...

    All the best to you and yours too - Hilary

  4. Yes, Easter will be waaaaay different for all of us this year. Darn! I didn't even think to get myself a bag of jelly beans. (Just as well... I could easily get addicted to the darn things.)

    Thank you so much for the post card. Talk about a pleasant surprise! And I'm reeeeeally glad to know you're staying put for now. Hunker down, stay well, and enjoy those jelly beans. Happy Easter! Sending lots of hugs and hope your way. This, too, will pass.

    1. the hard part is sharing with Ray - he's always around. But he hates the black ones and I love licorice!
      Happy Easter!
