Well, right now, I'm holding an ice pack on my eye....my "good" eye.

I was sitting in my lounger, bingeing on "Call the Midwife" and I decided to also do some working out with my resistance band. Unfortunately, it slipped off my feet and gave me quite a whap! right to the eye.

No serious damage done as I can see fine out of it but I'm getting a good black eye.

Exercise, they say. It's good for you, they say. Bah humbug! I'm taking a nap.

Good plan, jujube…..I think naps are a good cure for almost everything. Sorry about your eye.

Today is the 3rd anniversary of the death of a dear family friend. It weighs heavily on my heart but I like to think he is with my husband in heaven. His ashes are here in my china cabinet beside my husband and mother. His sweet dog lies at my feet, happy and spoiled. I am swallowed by grief of these two men, who were such great friends both taken way too soon.
 
Good morning and Happy Easter, y'all.

It's time to make 🥐 🥐 🥐 🥐 🥐 and stuff. With a little luck, people will be in church this morning and not storming the doors at the store.

The rain stopped around suppertime yesterday, and it's going to be a bit warmer and sunny today.
 
Here is your funny for the day. The dogs just wanted out and I thought storms had rolled in because it was dark. I forgot I sleep during the day now and am up most of the night. I thought it was afternoon when in fact it was almost five in the morning. Call me silly!!
 
Ok, now I know what day it is, Happy Easter and happy birthday to me. No wonder I am confused. I aged a year last night and it was a lot of hard work. I find it kind of funny that so many`think it is something to celebrate. Most of us now are dealing with the aches and pains of aging, the loss of a spouse. I have been invited to my son's home today. I would rather stay home. I am just no good at pretending I am happy when I am not. I am sure that some of my DIL family will be there as her Mother is also a widow. The loss is still very new for my DIL and her Mom. I am sure my son does not know it is my birthday. I prefer to just leave it alone. I think it is one of those times that needs to be all about the DIL and her family.

Well firstly Happy Birthday to you... 🤩🥳...very often my birthday falls on Easter Sunday but not this year...my daughter is on the 13th I'm 4 days after..

I'm the same as you. I can't hide my feelings if I'm pi*sed off..or upset..or sad.. especially if I've got to deal with people who are not close family and I'd be expected to act different to how I feel, so I understand your wish to stay home today.

if your son has invited you to his home today, surely he must know it's your birthday ? .... anyway you're right not to go for all the reasons you state.

DD and I will be having a joint Birthday outing later in the month.. either the end of April or the beginning of May to fit around her very busy Job and her busy social life.. she lives an hour and a half away.. so we have to arrange things around that..
 
I first woke up at 4am rolled back to sleep next thing I knew it was 6:45
On my early morning walk at 7 ,went to buy the local paper,it was 30,sun was up not much traffic,saw a couple of rabbits
This morning my close friend, Marcia will be picking me up as we go to our Sunday church service at 10:30.I won't be staying afterwards,will walk home. I have a 'family zoom meeting at 1,this will be the 1st time I've seen my brother&family,hopefully my sister{she lives in England} since New Yr's Day This will be the highlight of my day

Happy Easter!
 
Easter seems to be a pretty low key affair here. I had a look to see if there were any events, but nothing other than a few Easter egg hunts for the children. Interestingly one of the first things the search brought up was the opening times of the major stores for today and tomorrow.

I'll wait till Tuesday and maybe buy a half price Easter egg!
 
Nothing planned for today.
It’s to be another beautiful day out, getting out on the deck to enjoy the sun…..and all the spring birds that have been landing since Thursday.
Enjoying so much, the songs our feathered friends are playing…..Canada geese are filling the sky…..I’m hearing robins, but have only seen a handful.
Temp got up to 10c yesterday…..only went down to -1c last nite, already up to 3c.

Hope you all can enjoy some Easter Happiness.🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷.
