This was one of the best Easter Sunday's I've ever had. Drew and I ate breakfast with our one (and only) guest. Tons of food. Ham and cheese omelette, bacon, baked Dutch apple pancake and hash browns. Then, Drew and I walked to the Easter parade in downtown Douglas. Later we cut daffodils, forsythia and pussy-willows in my yard and "around town." These were put in vases around the house. Friedl came by and hid the Easter eggs we colored. Drew, Philip and I hunted for the eggs. Truly, it was so much fun. We actually missed eggs that were right in our view. Then, we had Easter dinner. After that we watched "The King's Speech." It was a packed day...full of activities.
I went to the cemetery today to visit Ray. I said he must be celebrating big time up in Heaven...after all today is the day celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. I told him to be careful and not celebrate too much...Jesus made some real good wine here on Earth.
My meds must have kicked back in. I've been feeling real good lately. I had some "sentimental" moments today. I looked at a picture of Ray and I on Mackinac Island. It was one of those pictures that looks like an "old time" photo...sepia tone. Ray is lying in a claw-foot bathtub and I am holding a gun at him pointed at his crotch...it is such a fun picture. I looked at it (without crying) with sentimental feelings.
I love Easter. Maybe because it comes right at the time of new growth/birth. I walked through the yard today looking at everything coming up in the gardens. A month ago everything looked so dead...today there is new life popping up everywhere. A reminder to me that after death life returns. Death and then new life...the Easter story. - Jimmy
