Mine was a very slow day!!! Most of my family has passed away so it’s not necessarily a happy, family filled day for me. Yet I used the day to remember the good old days when things were happier & I did ENJOY those memories!!!

Mine was “Easterish” only in that I was out in the Creator’s glory in the high desert, hiking to the top of a mesa for an incredible view.

We did have Easter ham by getting ham sandwices at the snack bar.

That sounded good @zenvelo.

We had a small Polish style Easter Sunday breakfast with four people. Very enjoyable.

My DIL cooked a pork butt so we had pulled pork sandwiches. We had 6 kids running around.
My daughter and the twins stuffed 530 plastic eggs with candy and coins. There were 6 golden eggs with $5.00 inside. There were eggs and kids everywhere!

I went to the Great Vigil of Easter Saturday evening and enjoyed it. Yesterday, we had a good, long video call with the family.

Don’t judge but I’m catholic and we went to Easter Sunday but not the Saturday night mass. That takes three hours to do and it is at seven or eight. whatever it is it is to late for us.

(What’s there to judge about you being Catholic @KRD)?

zenvelo's avatar

@KRD The length of the vigil mass is why I always go to the Sunday morning kid’s mass on Easter. A lot more spiritually inspriing to see the kids excited.

Huh? Wha….?? Did I miss something?

KRD's avatar

Did you miss Easter @smudges?

smudges's avatar

I know there’s an Easter, I just don’t believe in the reason behind it. Therefore, it simply comes and goes like any other day.

It is true, an egg laying rabbit is a bit unrealistic.

smudges's avatar

^^Absolutely! Everyone knows rabbits lay chocolate bunnies and Peeps lay the eggs.

I sang to an opossum.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Well, I peed on a ‘possum. So there @raum.

raum's avatar

@Dutchess_III What in the world? Why on earth would you pee on a ‘possum?

ragingloli's avatar

It was thirsty.

smudges's avatar

^^Dry skin and coarse hair.

Dutchess_III's avatar

We were at the lake @raum. It was dark. I went behind the truck to pee. Well, I squatted and started peeing when I felt something brush my butt. You never saw someone not have to pee anymore so fast!
He wasn’t doing anything wrong, but Rick scooped him up with a shovel and threw him the lake.
Poor guy was struggling to swim and play dead at the same time. I felt sorry for him so I kicked Rick.
Not long after that we had possums getting in our house every other month. It got pretty old real quick.

smudges's avatar

OMG @Dutchess_III! That’s toooo funny!!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Good thing he didn’t bite me in the butt @smudges. I would have hated to explain that at the ER!
Since then I’ve learned that although possums look menacing, but they are actually very passive and unagessive.

raum's avatar

@Dutchess_III There’s probably never a good reason to explain why you’re in the ER for a bite to your butt. :P

What I find a bit unsettling is how easy I find it now to ignore Easter. In fact, I keep forgetting that today is the big day. A lot of it of course is surely the fact that the day is not hyped as relentlessly as Christmas for crass commercial purposes.

smudges's avatar

@HP You probably forgot that “today is the big day” because it isn’t. Easter was a week ago. :)

Ooops. I stand corrected. So why is it called “Greek Easter” if not only Greeks celebrate it?
