Wrap It Up: Easter Weekend

A Quick Glimpse

What a great weekend. Never long enough though, are they? It was however, jam packed to perfection.

Ready?

I listed a new OOAK Premade logo, loving hands, in the shop on Friday.

We had a sunset ride through Exeter, the next town over, on our way to our friends', Ralph and Cathryn, house for dinner Friday night.

Ralphie made us delicious baked fresh haddock he caught that day, and he and Cathryn sent us home with leftovers and fresh haddock fillets. Yes please, and thank you.

We spent time out in the sunshine on Saturday, starting spring clean up which involves an unbelievable amount of raking. More to come at the end of today...an so on and so on and so on. The before looks so sad, I will be happy when I can show you the after, but it will be awhile. G said to me, 'this will take us a good week of nonstop work just to get the yard raked'. I said, 'I know, let's not talk about it, let's just do. It will be less painful'.

I was going to go for a walk at the beach yesterday morning, but I felt like doing a little creating away from my desk. So instead, I sat out back in the sunshine and did a little sketching and watercolor doodling.

We enjoyed a very bountiful Easter dinner at sister Di and brother in law Al's followed closely by the Egg Hunt. 

It was so nice to have some time away from the computer to recharge. A full week would be super special, but for now, I'll take what I can get. It's been a long time since I stayed away from the computer and work the entire weekend. Can you say 'aaaaahhhhh'?


How was your weekend? Was it relaxing? Was it go go go busy? Was it filled to the brim with friends, family and food?

The sun is shining today on this Patriots' Day/ Marathon Monday. I hope and pray for an uneventful race for all those running and watching from the sidelines in Boston today. There are so many people running to raise money for various causes, and so many running in memory of those we lost last year as well as the survivors. I wish them the strength to finish strong!

Make it a great day, it's a great day to have.

Ciao for now,

After Christmas

Enjoying Some Downtime

Hi all. I sure those of you who celebrate Christmas, had a very merry and enjoyable one.  We sure did. We were off to Sister Gloria's house on Christmas Eve and of course, there was a lot of wrapping paper strewn everywhere by the time we were done.  Christmas was enjoyable at home by the fire. We've also been skyping with our overseas family.  It's all good.  Even better, we both have a few days off this holiday season, so we're just kicking back and enjoying a slower pace, so posting may be a little lighter than usual.

There's been a lot of lounging going on, and there is sure to be more....along with going through our gifts again, learning to use my new camera (yay!), looking more closely at the annual photo album my Mom puts together, a little reading and of course, eating all the goodies we got.

I'd say a field walk too, but today is miserable. Unfortunately, we were just across the snow/rain line for this storm and we've been mosting getting freezing rain and sleet with snow mixed in. Wish we were just a bit further West where the snow is dumping right now. Ah well..........at least the fire is roaring.

Ciao for now,
