No waiting

I'm with Joy in passing by anything with a long line. So I can't really remember waiting in lines, but I do know I have at times regretted my impatience, because I heard later that it would have been worth the wait!

I never posted on the "where would I go and with whom" question. That's a hard one for me. Bruce is a mountain hiking guy and I am a beach girl. Since I can hike but he can't swim, I haven't been to an ocean since we were married. And since I am very content with a book and the sun, who would I take with me? Probably my daughter.

But being married to a dairy farmer, really, I'd go about anywhere with anybody. :)

Our days away from the farm are very few and very far between! Bruce has had two days off in the past 20 months . . . We really don't know any other lifestyle anymore, so that is not a complaint, but when I hear wives complain about husbands who never take a day off, I just have to bite my tongue and smile. :)

I am struggling a bit with what to do for Easter. My youngest is ten and asking about an egg hunt, but he does NOT need the candy, and my 3 older kids aren't really into hunting eggs anymore, though sometimes it surprises me how they like the kid stuff yet. Any suggestions for egg fillers other than sweets?

We used to do resurrection eggs when my kids were little--each egg contained an object related to Good Friday/Easter. And then on Easter I used those eggs to hold candy and hide them. I just think the symbolism is pretty cool of the empty egg representing the empty tomb and the grave holding something "sweet" now that Jesus has risen.

Wishing you all Easter joy!
