Unusual Easter Weekend Plan

For the first time in FOREVER we had NO plans for Easter.  For the last 20-30 years almost exclusively we have had plans with the extended family and some friends to spend the day at my Aunt and Uncles out in the country.  It was always lots of food and hunting Easter eggs.  A great time to catch up with the cousins we see only once a year or so.

My Aunt and Uncle are no longer able or willing to deal with all the work that involves having an event with so many folks.  Can't say I blame them at all.  Last year was the first year for that.  So we made alternate plans.  This year?  Not so much.  There are several factors that have played into this.  One, the date just snuck up on us.  We have had a few distractions that caused that.  The main one being that Kim was to start at the new resort Saturday.  Gearing up for that has occupied the thoughts enough to throw things out of whack.  (We needed that to be really successful.) We assumed the kids (oldest and his family) would spend it at his in-laws like last year.  Oops, you know what they say about assumptions.  However, with the all the time/work Kim had to put in on Saturday at two resorts, there was no way she would have been able to do an Easter event at our house.  It just wasn't going to happen.

As it turns out Kim didn't get home till after 9 PM.  She did well at both resorts and was very busy.  She was bushed when she finally made it home.  I am very proud of how hard she works. 

The youngest son, Wesley, came over for lunch.  I had smoked some ribs and threw a few things together for sides and it turned out pretty well for no real planning.  We also got to catch up with him and all the developments with his company and it's scheduled launch.  If you care to, go by and give him a look see over at Guardian Knights.  The oldest son and his family came by later.  As it turned out, the day was better than we expected not to mention the entire weekend.  Sometimes no plans are the best plans.
