Easter weekend party thread!!!

MaripositaII · 04-20-2011

I wanted to give Roni a break this week

So what are your plans for Easter?

Cooking? It's going to be a busy one for me!

Travelling?

Seakony · 04-20-2011

I know what I won't be doing since I didn't go to the Russell Stover outlet this year! That place is downright dangerous!

We are not Christians and we do not celebrate Easter, but

We were raised Christian, and I will sing

Quote:

Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior,
Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!

Refrain

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!

Refrain

Death cannot keep its Prey, Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!

As I used to as a young lad

That song has been stuck in my head all day today. I am continuing with our tradition of hosting Easter dinner for both mine and Bill family. It is a small group this year. I thought about not doing it but it is the easy way out. Both sides invited me over and didn't know who to disappoint. Really wanted to go away for the weekend to my sister in law's but knew my family would throw a fit

A coworker was listening to oldies on internet radio today. It was nice. Then "Son of the preacher man" came on and I smiled. Visions of Roni grinning and dancing around the campfire in Syl's backyard, with a glass of wine in hand, listening to that song.

I turned around and said "You can not imagine the scene in my head right now. One of my buddies IS the son of the preacher man, and he can party to it."

Before I can start my Easter Weekend I still have to go home from Paris. Will do that tonight. Had planned on going to the lake tomorrow with my dive club but that would have meant getting up early again and I am too tired for that. So the only plans that I have are for Easter monday when the family gathers on the countryside and we will be celebrating my dad's birthday (which everybody else did already two days ago but I was in Paris then so I couldn't go).

Happy to be home in my own bed tonight...

Big traditional Sunday dinner. I have a love/hate relationship with these things. Always great food, always love to see the the nieces and nephews but hate the "superior" atittude of one family. The "We make lots of money, we love each other so much that even after 25 years we have sex everyday, we have the best grown boys, we have a vacation house in Florida, we have 900 friends on facebook, I only weigh 109, blah, blah, blah". The truth is they live high on the hog, no money in the bank.....it's all about appearances. And I could care less how many times they have sex! Sometimes really hard for me to keep my mouth shut! But I just think to myself....."Whatever!" and go for another brownie!

That just made me laugh a bit...family, huh!?

Like the saying goes, 'You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose- but you can't pick your family.'

Grin and bear it!

We had our big Easter dinner with hubby's family last weekend.....with 2 sets of twins and another baby and then 5 other young kids it was chaotic but fun. This weekend we are very grateful to not have to travel anywhere for a family dinner, nor put one on- first time in a LONG time.

So we will clean up our yard from winter Friday, D is golfing and I am shopping for his b'day gift Saturday, going to dinner with friends twice and Sunday is pure relaxation day, other than brunch after church with his mom. (She is going, not us. ha)

Buy Don a diving camera! You know you...I mean Don want's one!

Rissask · 04-21-2011

beerdude- you know, that is not a bad idea!!

What did you tell me on FB the good ones are again... Sea what?

See, I already had his gift decided on, so I had not thought of a camera!

I am getting him a shop vac. And an air compressor.
Soooo exciting.

I think that might be a bastardization of the original. But a funny one.

I have went, I have saw, I have tooken Jesus into my heart,
the battle cry of the Bible Belt, but no one uses
the King James anymore, only plain-speak versions,
in which Jesus, raising Lazarus from the dead, says,
“Dude, wake up,” and the L-man bolts up like a B-movie mummy.

-Barbara Hamby

Happy Easter weekend!

thanks, bd!

Looking into it.

I was looking at the Canons and they are only waterproof to 33 feet! duh!

The mini SeaLife is good to 130 feet.

Most sites appear to be really $$ for shipping....I will check out our Dive Shop and local Best Buy, etc.

thanks!
