I Am Trying to Remember

TWO THOUGHTS FOR TUESDAY

Every Tuesday a group of really talented bloggers are given an assignment over at BlogDumps to write about a certain topic and today that topic is supposed to be a Easter Memory.  I have been racking my brain as to a particular Easter that  would stand out among the many.  HHHHMMMM

Nope, nothing in particular.

A couple of thoughts do come to mind though. 

The first one being that my memory moved out about the same time the kids did.  That would be in 1991 and 1993 respectively.  This could be the reason for not being able to recall a particular event that would be the kind of Easter event that Lifetime Movies or Hallmark Cards would want to incorporate into one of their products.

My second thought is that our Easters, while being pretty uneventful over the years, have transitioned somewhat in how we celebrate them.

Our family Easter tradition timeline

Teenaged wedded bliss equals too poor to do much of anything  but always had a nice dinner.

Young married couple with babies too tired  to do much past going to church in the morning and having a nice dinner.

Young couple with young children having fun with the Easter Bunny and egg hunts, going to church and eating  a nice dinner.

Not quite as young couple with teenagers that begrudge the day of not hanging with their friends but still we went to church and had a big dinner.

Really not so young couple with college students coming home for Spring Break, going to church and eating a big dinner.

Older couple participating in the lives of their grown children who are young and having fun with their little ones with the Easter Bunny and egg hunts, going to church and eating a nice dinner.

LOOKING FOR EASTER EGGS
LAST YEAR

While our Easters remain very uneventful in the real sense of the word they are special in the sense that for 40 years our little foursome that has grown into way more than four...still enjoys the mundane act of just hanging out, going to church and eating a big dinner.

We may be dull but we are consistent.


The cat seems to be getting in on the action, though.



The good for the day...hubby is home from a very long business trip and can enjoy just lazing around through Easter.

The Bad for the Day... The weather is really sucky here today.  DREARY, DRIZZLY and DAMP
