Easter & Lisa Kudrow Lyrics

The laughing-est family evening ever for Easter.

We drove to see my brothers and parents. One of my nieces in particular was the creator of some jolly time! My SIL is learning to play the guitar and she strummed for us first.. then the niece took over the guitar and added singing to the mix. Put her on stage and she can be a giggling, entertaining, raucous-laughing show!

Spring was present! Loved my SIL's flowers. My brother's pride-and-joy garden...

gift to the fam

With my "memory-garden" in mind, I thought to dig-up and divide iris from my yard. These particular bearded iris are from the garden of my Aunt Lorraine who passed years ago. Each spring I'm reminded of her when these beauties bloom. So, everyone was given a bag with a couple of rhizomes to place our Aunt's diligent work in each of their gardens... thus extending the spaces that memories will be evoked!


No egg hunt,  but I had dyed some at home just to place out for me to admire their color!

Lisa Kudrow will never know how many giddy-goat moments she inspired! "Smelly Cat" while not a traditional Easter hymn was the perfect touch to our Easter!

LAUGHTER!!!  good for the soul....

Easter SUN-day or Easter Cloud-Day

Happy Easter Chick-a-dees!!

Goodwill Hunting...

Bright plastic eggs filled with candy; some with coins were placed in obvious spots all around the room. It was quite intentional to make the hunt swift and easy. No need to keep the hunter-gatherer longer than he would feel comfortable....

Vikki and I had made a promise we intended to keep. Also, we were told in so many words that there was going to be an Easter egg hunt on April 14th. We countered that request with a change of date and an assurance if Mike were to come to the shop on the day that I worked, there indeed WOULD be a hunt.
He made good on his arrival, and we delivered.



Mike hunting



Vikki went all out!  Her goodwill nestled sweetly in each and every egg. Mike was pleased once he found out the eggs that made nary a sound were not empty, but rather contained bills of money! Each time he found a "quiet" egg he would slip open his wallet and add to his stash. We wonder what he will spend his Easter bucks on....

Me & the hunter

The sweetest filling of all was a tiny handwritten note that Vikki made sure to have Mike read. She had written - "we love to see your smile" from the Shabby Girls.... He probably doesn't realize that we enjoy his  visits to the shop just as much as he enjoys the candy off the counter!

passing notes...

We don't know much about Mike.
 I have learned that ~
He likes M & M's best - "because that's the letter my name starts with.."
5 is his favorite number - oh, he'll give an explanation - but it's darn lengthy!
In 2014 he will get married
He takes the bus after work to get back to the group home

Also, I've learned that goodwill,  for Easter, or any other time, is a very sweet thing! Just as sweet as a candy egg!

Add wine and strawberries and life is extraordinarily GRAND!!
