Morning ?? Meryl,

Here's one for Eiffel

To all of our UK & Oz friends:

My deepest sympathies on the loss of your Queen Mum

Happy Easter all. My Sympathies to those from the UK.

Good morning and Happy Easter, buddies! May your celebration be everything you wished for!

Meryl - here are the rest of today's special holidays - they were in Friday's email. LOL

Bunsen Burner Day
"I Am In Control" Day
Summer Daylight Saving (Europe)
Coloring Crayons Day

It's amazing how much affection the world has always felt for the Queen Mum. She'll be missed like a favorite Grandma.

Freddie, I saw your morning question marks...I try to start the page before i go to bed so its up in the morning...On the weekends I go to bed alot earlier because I'm not at work...
Hope everyone has a fun day!

maybe some morning divers coming our way

Here's two we missed

Little small.....have to work on that....

Hppy Easter to all and to all a good night!!!{ops wrong Holiday saying}. Here is one of my favorite Bunnies, Thank you Rusty!!!!


reminds me of the Lucy episode in the candy factory!!!

The Easter Bunny is here - oh, those are fins. Nevermind. Thought they were ears.

One more shot! This is the way to spend the holiday.

They came and went pretty quick....We are going to Phili for dinner with Steve's parents have to start getting ready....He doesn't like to "linger" long so we should be home before 7...maybe will catch you guys later...what's your plans for the day....

Has anyone seen the Bonaire reporter April Fool Article....our friend Andy was fortunate enough to have a story published

He emailed it to me, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Looking forward to it though.

thought I'd share some of our harvest with you. the first pic was from yesterday and the other is this morning. It's a little dark, but the flash made it way too light.

Cindy it was very good take some time to read it....Thanks for sharing the harvest!

Cindy - drool! Look at those strawberries! We don't even have daffodils yet! You are so far ahead of us. Imagine fresh veggies and fruits for Easter.

Meryl - our first Easter at home in twenty years. Dinner for two - Bob's choice. Dad's spending the day with Jo's family. He and I are going to make a memorial garden later in the week outside the kitchen nook bay window. That's where we saw the bunny on Thursday.

ok, I just finished Andy's article. LOL That boy sure has a way with words.

Rusty...sounds very nice....I like holidays at home....(envy envy)...unfortunatly we have too many perches in the kitchen to have a sit down dinner....one day I will have a dining room even if I have to sit in it alone! Tell Dad "Happy Easter from me"

Same here, this is the first time in several years we're not going to my parents. I guess since all the kids are 14 & up, we just don't do the easter egg thing anymore.

Kerry (the 8yo next door) came over last night and helped me color eggs. They were gorgeous when we finished, but after spending a night in the fridge, they're starting to run. We finger-painted them.

Gotta go guys...have a good one...talk to you later.....enjoy the day

I snapped them anyway, but the picture doesn't do them justice.

See ya, Meryl! Have fun today!

Cindy - they are so pretty - what did you fingerpaint with? Do you have pastel fingertips today? Bet Kerry gets a kick out of your time together doing kid stuff.



More kid stuff - Coloring Crayons Day - In 1903, Binney & Smith, Inc. put crayons on sale for the first time. Their brand name "Crayola" was made by putting the French word for chalk (craie) with "ola" (for oily). The first Crayola crayons came in a box of 8 and sold for 5 cents. Today, Binney & Smith produce about 7 million crayons every day in 120 colors. The average American child uses 730 crayons by his 10th birthday. It's no surprise that a study shows the smell of Crayola crayons is one of the twenty top scents recognized by adults in the U.S.

Looks like a busy day at the Eiffel Tower. Happy Birthday, landmark! Looks like they have a carousel at the base of the tower.

Charlotte on cam!

Hi Rusty, just checking back in. We're installing a new faucet in the kitchen. have the wrong size fittings so I get a little break while Jim runs back to the store.

I bought one of the Dudley color kits with paint packs. We were trying to paint stipes and dots, but it was really messy, so I finally just dipped a finger in each color and started turning the egg around in my hand. We decided they looked pretty good and did them all that way. After a night in the fridge, they're not nearly as pretty. They taste good though.

How's your day going? I'm still trying to recoup from Nona's birthday party friday night. was up way past my bedtime.

Cindy - tha traditional "replacing the faucet" Easter ceremony, huh? Remember when we were kids and no stores were open on Sundays and holidays - you'd HAVE to relax or put things off til you could get parts. The goood old days!

I think the fish on Bonaire took a holiday today!

Time for a new thread, Fred!
