Oh my... March 25 already! The day the Ring was destroyed, the Dark Tower fell and Sauron was defeated!

Hope you all had a lovely Easter.

Mine started with a pre-dawn excursion into the garden, depositing chocolate eggs in water-tight containers (thank you, lousy april-weather) at easily found locations. The sacrifices an auntie has to make...

We never grew up with the egg hunting thing. I still think it's ridiculous. Instead I watched the church on TV, but it was very disappointing: we didn't sing a single Easter hymn.
So I've decided to redo Easter today. So there.

Fortunately for you, it's the Orthodox Easter today. So you're not alone. Is there a church nearby that you'd be interested in attending in the future? For Easter or otherwise?

I've grown up with egg-hunting so it feels completely natural to me. The only gripe I have about it is that our local tradition is that the Easter Bells bring the chocolate eggs and not the more commonly known Easter Bunny. And some people get very insistant that it's the Bunny, not the Bells and that Bells are silly. (Because a Bunny, which is actually a hare, that brings chocolate eggs is not in itself any less silly.) Whereas I think that one make-belief egg-bringer is as good as the next one and if I want to get eggs from the Bells I bloody well should be able to! Let it be silly!

I have never seen a bunny leave chocolate eggs: They always leave chocolate jelly beans. No good for eating, I'll bet.

I am a member of a church, but my husband planned to go to a congress, playing taxi for a few people, without notifying me. My church is reachable by bike, but if it's raining I'm too lazy and just watch the church service on TV. :P

Hiya Sane! Are you up for a glomp or are we dignified adults now?

But then maybe keeping up with memo's is a dignified adult thing anyway...

In which case, I failed, badly.
