What do you do for Easter?

[Black Orchid]

We used to always have a big Easter Sunday lunch with the whole family but my Mum has passed now and the family is fractured.

My oldest went to his girlfriend's family for Easter lunch and I am in 2 minds about trying to uphold family tradition or just letting it go.

No grandkids so it would just be the 3 of us which is why I don't bother. Should we make the effort to continue these family traditions?

Hope that you had a pleasant day, regardless, Black Orchid!

I was never brought up having a family Easter Sunday Lunch. Just Christmas Lunch when not all the sisters and Co could attend every year, but I did. When Mum died, that ended.

These days, Easter Sunday is daughter and grand daughters over to collect and eat Easter Eggs.

Christmas is much the same. I no longer have Family Meals ... of which I am grateful ... I loath cooking, especially for lots of people.

You probably need to create your own Family Traditions!

We had a few bike rides, went to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, bought seafood to cook at home.
Off for a lunch out soon.

Was a good time.

I went to a family Barbie on Saturday and had the family over today for Arvo tea. I'm a non-religious person so don't bother attending church/temple/synagogue/Mosque. I worked in the garden for part of the weekend and today upgraded my PC's OS. Indeed, I am still working on it, as I type. Linux, great the first day, wonderful the next...

sounds like we all behaved and shared thats the main thing...

my heart goes out to those in Sri Lanka

lets hope this madness that seems to have overtaken so many,

will be overcome by the good in us...

and yes even though we disagree on many topics I still think you guys are good...
