Curiouser and Curiouser

The times, they are a changing. Change in life is a given. It's all in how we manage the process. I choose to welcome the changes, because they will happen whether I want them to or not. Sigh...I didn't put out Easter baskets this year.  I don't have little children anymore. My sons are 27 and 20. Part of me was sad that I didn't do it. It felt weird not to get out the Easter baskets, but I did buy a bag of their favorite chocolate!

We spent the day with the Chapman's. It was a beautiful day! Dad got the pool ready and the dinner cooked...

Last but not least, the Easter egg hunt! The "Easter Bunny" filled and hid the eggs early in the morning.

Of course I had to make a card to commemorate the day. A white rabbit showed up after all!

    I am obsessed with Alice in Wonderland so you can only imagine how excited I was to see your white rabbit! Love this card and loved catching a glimpse of your holiday!

    I’m so glad, thank you! I’m proud of my people. I ❤️ ‘d the movie, especially Johnny Depp’s mad hatter... AND of course PINK’s theme song. I’m a big kid when it comes to Disney movies!

    What far-off yonder place do you live where a pool and shade is needed?! It's 33 and raining outside right now and my heart is aching.

    Loo-siana! We cheated and turned on the pool heater! BUT, it was still warm enough for shorts!
