Easter Events

Tomorrow is Easter. Such a blessed day when our Savior rose from the grave. Such a blessed time when he gave his life for us. So often we forget those things amidst all the Easter egg hunts, and chocolate bunnies and new outfits to wear. So, let's all remember what the holiday is all about.

Now, I will tell you about yesterday.  I tell you, I was so happy and tired I slept like a log last night.

There are no pictures of the Taco lunch. But, take my word for it... yummy. There were a large number of us residents who met in the community room and had tacos (apple cake for dessert), thanks to Angela and Ali who oversee the Commons.

At 2 some of us gathered to hunt Easter eggs out back. I was mostly just wandering around with my camera but spied one egg lying on top of a power box that several people had just walked by. So, I picked it up. Only one I saw. I really wasn't hunting. And, lo and behold, it was one of four prize eggs so I got a gift card to Walmart.

It was our movie night. We saw 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel'. Part one, not the movie currently playing in theatres. Afterward there was a drawing for some small door prizes and I got one of those little flowers in a pot that is sun activated. Have you seen those? Well, I now have one! It's not a flower but a cute little ladybug. 

I don't have much storage space for things I seldom use. So, when I moved in to this apartment I let an awful lot of my stuff go... A little hard to truly decorate for the holidays but I don't need much. 

I kept my sweet little mama bunny and her baby bunny. It is on my dining room table. By the way, those two pills DO NOT belong to the bunnies. And, they are not part of the decoration!! I just forgot they were there when I snapped the picture. 

 The porcelain doll that I made a long time ago is holding a sweet little rabbit.

I love my flower pot with the white bunnies dancing around it.

My vine in doing well in it, sitting on my kitchen bar.

Another bunny.... oh my.... I must love bunnies!!

And, for my front door... well, I did go to Big Lots and found a door decoration that was pretty flat so it could be stored easily. And, it will do for the entire spring. It will be perfect for a May Day basket. 

What have you done in the way of preparing for Easter, both fun-wise and spiritually? It's such a time for renewal in every way. 

                                                                                            I wish you all a very Happy Easter.
