long weekend bliss


... and rested he by the tum-tum tree
 
 How's the serenity?



How was your Easter?

Our kids (and us) relax so much when we get to the farm. It takes a good week to prepare for the journey as we have to take food, bedding, clothes for all seasons, entertainment for the kids. There is a tv there but we've told the kids it doesn't get reception and we don't miss it! How could we when we're sitting by the fire, wine in hand, talking? It is SO worth the preparation.

We had dear friends visit at the farm and it was a really special time for the six kids (all under 5 yo). They roamed and ate and played for hours at the farm then at the beach and then into the night over dinner. There wasn't one altercation the whole day. I am not kidding! The six parents (me included) were so pleased to talk and finish conversations! We had much to catch up on after 3 years of not being together in the same place at the same time. What a treat!!

How did you celebrate Easter? Were you one of the lucky ones who was able to have time off from work to be with family/friends?

We saw so many police on the roads. Many of them miss out on a break over Easter to get people to 'slow down' and reduce drink driving. I'd like to acknowledge and thank those personnel who did so as their public service over Easter.
