Holy Easter Saturday morning

I’m not sure where the time has gone this week; 24 hours and the Easter bunny will be here!

I just thought to myself Easter used to be so fun… But now it makes me feel melancholy.

Like all the memories of Easter past were the last of the good times.

Fortunately, this year, I am all about it. I think it has to do with spring coming early and seeing all the wildlife literally come out of the woods at the lake. Along with w/ Zooming my contemporaries from around the country and seeing how they are celebrating, and how much tradition plays into that.

We truly have to create our own traditions. Also, maybe because of my mom making it through heart surgery last week, and me and 12 weeks of physical therapy ahead, well, I am gonna get it together and celebrate this year though, just because I can & am able and actually really want to just have an unforgettable day with the people I love.

(Like when we were kids and my sister would wake up at 4 AM and go out and steal all the Easter eggs…) Anyway, I digress. I just wanna do the real Easter deal; all of it!!!

Hot cross buns, fresh out of the oven, Easter Sunday mass, the Easter basket, the bunny ears, the peeps, the tacky plastic Easter eggs filled with Chanel and Versace samples, candy and everything gluten-free for my niece, the carrot cake, the 10 varieties of deviled eggs and an Easter dinner that will be to die for at my sister’s.

Best of all, sitting around the table tomorrow afternoon, sharing Easter dinner with my family.
