Easter dinner with the family was on Saturday. Probably the last Easter with all of the family. (Long story). Anyway, filled up on all the good eats - yams, stuffing, turkey, mashed potato, broccoli, corn, brussel sprouts, rice (damn good with gravy!)- and had lots of laughs. My mom and her sisters remininced about growing up in rural Japan having nothing and making their own toys. Apparently, my Mom would stick straw into a frog and blow it up for a toy. They also remember using green onions to catch fireflies (the original glow stick).
Yesterday, with my cousin and my sister, we headed to Kensington Market in downtown Toronto for an Easter Egg hunt. 5000 eggs were hidden with inspiration messages inside. We got there a quite a bit late because we only found 5 eggs! Ah well. It was fun though. And we got to eat empanadas for lunch. Yum! -Cat |

Hello,
I know the bittersweet with Grandma. My dearest Grandma went home to our Lord two years ago May 2nd, two weeks after her sister April 18th. So this time of year is always sad along with no family this year. Thanks for all the Easter vibes. I miss the desserts and left over ham for scalloped potatoes and pea soup. 
Pray for our troops to come home safe and soon.
Enjoying the road to the simple life :>) |

Betty, sending comforting thoughts your way I know it's not always easy. Sometimes holidays aren't what we think they should be. Hope it's better for you.

Oh Betty Jo
You post made me tear up. You have lots of happy easter vibes comeing from your friends here at MJ'S.
my easter was ok. Went to brunch with my grandma, dad and stepmom. Dear other half is away at sea with work. Holidays are always bittersweet these days because i am always wondering if it will be my last with my grandma. She is not doing very well. Well hope everyone else had a good easter.
