Easter Brunch at Moms

Rejoice This Easter Sunday

So we pray the Exultet at the Easter vigil.
On this night scripture says: the night will be as clear as the day: it will become my light, my joy. The power of this holy night dispels all evil, washes guilt away, restores lost innocence, brings mourners joy, it casts out hatred, brings us peace, and humbles earthly pride. Night truly blessed when heaven is wedded to earth and we are reconciled with god!

The Veil

There are moments when the veil seems almost to lift,
And we understand what the earth is meant to mean to us-
The trees in their docility, the hills in their patience,
The flowers and the vines in their wild, sweet vitality.
Then the word is within us, and the book is put away.


Do we really know the true meaning of Easter, sure dying eggs and Easter baskets and Easter bunny, are fun and a tradition. But it is the most spiritual holiday we can experience. I feel people today have gone away from the true meaning and just think well if we dye eggs and have Easter baskets we are celebrating this day. My god bless them, and help them to find Jesus in their lives. Believe me I'm not the holyest person, but I do have faith.

Good Friday

We keep with the tradition of coloring our Easter eggs on Good Friday. It is always a lot of fun and we have lots of laughs. As always, we enjoy our time with Troy. This kid is hysterical ! What a personality. He is so funny! We sure do miss him when he isn't around. But, we will have the pleasure   this summer to have him home again.

Palm Sunday & Greek Easter !

We celebrated Greek Easter today at Athos restaurant here in Guilderland. As always we had a fabulous meal, with family and friends. Thanks to Nick and Darlene for arraigning the day and of course for making the red eggs for our traditional egg game. Congratulations to Greg for winning. It was great seeing Lucy and Jim before they move to the Carolina's and cousin Donna's friend Michael who just had open heart surgery. We are blessed with wonderful family and friends. This week we will see Troy, he will be home for a couple of days, and I can't wait to spend all my time with him. We will celebrate Easter with my family this coming weekend at my moms and brothers.

Spring is trying to arrive !

Spring is in the air, some of my crocuses are in bloom.

More bread , more bread, and more bread, getting ready for Easter
