Happy Easter

It was a quiet weekend here at our house.  Saturday Bud worked on our tax return and it is almost ready to go.  I did chores around the house, just the kind of day a retired person has every day.  I'm not complaining at all though.  It seems that my days are divided between projects that I want to do (usually a quilting project), reading my newest book, and then things I should do like cleaning or laundry.  I seem to manage to do the first two more often and maybe that is what retirement IS about.  

Saturday evening we sent to the movies.  We went to see The Hunger Games.  I have read all three books in that trilogy and this is the first movie.  We both enjoyed the movie, interesting topic and good books.  When I started reading them, (Matt and Diana gave the first one to me as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago) I was surprised about the topic and that I so quickly was engrossed in the story. I recommend the books and the movie if nothing else but for the thought provoking theme.   

I had invited Leo up for the weekend but he decided that he would stay home.  It was the first weekend in many weeks that he had 2 days off instead of just 1.  WELL, we decided that we just couldn't leave him alone and had to bother him so we called and made plans to drive down for dinner together. I had been wanting to go and visit my favorite Farwell quilt shop and I found out that it was open on this past Sunday so I began thinking about how I could combine the two needs and dinner together fit right in to my need.  We made it to the quilt shop and I did find the fabric that I was looking for to complete the next phase of this beautiful quilt that I am working on.  I had scoured the quilt shops up here and just couldn't find the right piece for the quilt.  They had what I needed.

We met at Leo's apartment after shopping and went to dinner in Clare.  Not your typical Easter Dinner but we were with family and that is important.

 I even managed to make Leo a little Easter basket.  I took one of my little baskets and filled it with some candy for him.  I was trying to keep with the holiday.

We bought Leo a new Harley shirt in Nashville when we were there visiting.  When Bud finds a Harley store he always goes to the sale rack to look for things to buy.

SO, you can see that we did have a nice weekend, just not the traditional Easter weekend that most people would have.  I hope your weekend was fun, entertaining and full of family.
