Happy American Easter


While the majority of you will be celebrating Easter today, being Orthodox we celebrate Easter the first Sunday after Jewish Passover...I can't remember Orthodox Easter being a month later than American Easter...About ever 4 years both Easters fall on the same day...The grand kids just love being able to celebrate these two holidays...When I was growing up it was difficult explaining to my friends about the different holidays...Now, I think there's so much more understanding and knowing about all the differences in people's lives...Although there are times I'd like to go back to some of those childhood days where everyone knew everyone else...Church, schools, shopping, were right around the corner, sitting on front porches, playing jacks, jumping rope, scooters and all those things were a common sight in the neighborhoods...and I could go on and on...Of course I love all the modern technology...sometimes I wonder how things would be if we combined a little of each...
So today I'm going to try and accomplish a little of everything...plus I really need to catch up on leaving some love for the gals over at www.allmomentsremembered.com - I'm way behind on reading their blogs and the gallery....Also need to start getting things ready for our trip to Florida...I have a school board convention coming and need to get some last minute things done for that...like packing, canceling the paper, mail, doggies stuff packed up for her trip to my daughters and who knows what else...All these things to do and here I sit...
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Easter Sunday...Have a GRRRRRRRRRRRR8 day...
