It never grows old

Today the church bells have been singing all day. Not a bad perk for a non-religious person. And this is another lovely sunset. From last night, post all-day rain.


Today we cleaned for a bit and I prepared for a yummy non-religious Easter dinner for after tutoring tonight. Easter was always an occasion for our immediate family to sit down and have a good Sunday dinner, often with extended family who celebrated themselves in the morning and then joined for dinner in the afternoon. When we were really little, we spent Easters in New Jersey with my father's grandmother and great aunt (thus my great, great, aunt. She was born in 1898!). This picture is from 1981 and my mother had made us those dresses. That was also the Easter of Strawberry Shortcake dolls in our baskets. I do remember that part of that Easter and almost remember where I found my basket at their house in New Jersey. Strangely, when I am reading books I often find myself setting the books characters in that house.

So anyhow, tonight we'll be having spinach and feta quiche with a pear and roquefort salad (you've read about that before and my intrepid love for it), followed by strawberry shortcake (!! my favorite and ideal for this post and Easter 28 years ago. My god I am old!) and Netflix.

Might I NOT recommend a movie called Happiness that I rented because sometimes I choose indie films that I really should read more up on before I rent them.

Happpy lovely Sunday.
