We had a lovely Easter service up at church, with beautiful music (we had a guest trumpeter!), a fine homily, and the baptism of a particularly attractive and well-behaved baby. Flowers everywhere, a fine spread of food for the coffee hour afterwards... it was beautiful and uplifting.
And then we came home and held the First Annual Campbell Academy for Young Lady Cats Egg Hunt!
(Gussy's first egg had a catnip mouse in it. Why look further?)
It went much as these events often do, I believe. The youngest "child" found a catnip mouse in her first egg and, completely delighted with this first find, had no interest in looking further. The oldest was overwhelmed and appalled by the chaos and retreated under the couch. And the middle child found almost All of the eggs and ate the candy (well, cat treats) inside them.
My brother came up for a few days of fly fishing with my dad, and prepared and hosted a wonderful Passover dinner here on Friday night. The prayers and readings went a bit off track (he picked up a Passover haggadah from Publix when he bought food supplies in Charlotte, which is where his flight from Florida came in, and apparently it wasn't what he was used to), but the food came out superbly! Might have been the best charoset I've ever had! Katie got to read the Four Questions, Dad and Jeremy read prayers in Hebrew, and we all drank many glasses of wine. A Passover dinner that couldn't be beat, as Arlo Guthrie would say.
And I really thing spring Is here this time. At least, I don't see any more freezing weather in the next ten days of forecast, so I'm choosing to believe that warmer days are coming. Hooray!
