  1. That’s great, dear John, you have so many children where you live. We suppose we have no more than five children living in our village, probably fewer.

    1. We do have a lot of children here. The community was founded as a +55 golf resort. It migrated to a family place and is now totally that way. Happy Easter F4oC. Thanks for the comment.

  8. Hoppy Easter to y’all down in Texas. Nice turn out. Too bad it had to be inside. But better that than nothing. I see you left your coloring work on the table. The blue one right ?

    Have a great day. Tom

  14. All these events throughout the year, but you’ve never shared the result of your face painting.

    I’m having Easter dinner, but I’ll have an appetizer portion of the corn crusted cod, cabbage, mango salsa, lime sauce, corn tortilla.

  15. Happy Easter, John! I’d have been quite content sitting down with a bunny in my lap! And how much better is it to enjoy live rabbits that way than to buy them as gifts … and abandon them when the novelty wears off??

  17. What fun! I remember those days when children were in tow, eggs were dyed, and games were played. Wonderful memories. Happy Easter, John!

      1. Awwww … each of those cracks tells a story of its own and should be cherished! As re the Easter Bunny pic … hmmmm … methinks that was a mighty fortuitous “fire” … 🤔 🤣🤣

  27. I’m late for the party, but I think I got here when I needed it most. Everything in this post gave me smiles, John. I loved the bunny archway. Although I’m a little disappointed that there is no photo of you getting your face painted… The video is the perfect grand finale though, so you’re forgiven.

    I hope you and yours had a lovely Easter. Big hugs.
