Hoppy, Hoppy Easter everyone!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful day!

I have a busy day ahead of me. Need to go get Bonnie washed. I uploaded fifty (!) pictures of my trip to Walmart that I need to pick up. DR Michael, would you please send me the pictures of Ben and I? I would like to have print of it.

I want to go look at some notebook computers. I think I have decided on which one I will get but I want to go to a couple of stores.

But, I've never eaten a kumquat in my life. Are they any good??

Kumquats are GREAT! I love'em. I only wish I could have some candied kumquats like my Mom used to make. They were yummie!

DR DANISE;
That corner building is under renovation and the angel has been put there just as a display, for feasting passers’ eyes.
And, from behind.

Still, it is very, very cute.

We will have a busy walk in October. Besides all the places mentioned by Jose we (Jane and I) want to go to Myers of Keswick and Tea and Sympathy's store. They are not high end food places on the order of Cupcake Cafe but they are both great British (and Brit-run) stores in the village which feature products from the U.K. We can get scotch eggs at Myers, along with English soda brands and other wonderful things. The Tea and Sympathy store is an offshoot of the Tea Parlor just a storefront away. It's a charming but VERY SMALL shop that serves great English tea service. The store has lots of candy, magazines, Plum Puddings and hard sauce and other British ephemera. It's a nice fix for the Anglophile.

Easter Bonnet by Irving Berlin

In your easter bonnet,
with all the frills upon it,
You’ll be the grandest lady in the easter parade.
I’ll be all in clover and when they look you over,
I’ll be the proudest fellow in the easter parade.
On the avenue, fifth avenue,
the photographers will snap us,
And you’ll find that you’re in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet
about your easter bonnet,
And of the girl I’m taking to the easter parade.

DRMichaelShayne, you omitted the glorious verse to the song!

Good morning, all!, and Happy Easter! Of all the holidays in the Christian calendar, I find it my least favorite, even though it's the raison d'etre for the religion. The mythologist can tie it in with the return of spring, Persephone, the phoenix and more, but to me the day meant dressing up and attending church with my mother's entire family on the one day a year the entire group showed up for church. Then the huge dinner was either pleasant or disastrous, depending on which warring family factions showed up or did not. Of course, nothing will top the Christmas day with my Mother screaming at my brother and sister-in-law for being terribly late and spoiling the dinner, while she threw their gifts at them on the front lawn and bellowed for them to get the hell out!

Ah, holidays!

Good Morning!

I'm up! I'm up...

And I must finish packing - just my toiletries and a few "strays", nothing much. And then it's off to the Clurman for the closing show...

-And I did end up watching the rest of Sunday in the Park with George last night/early this morning...

White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities.

Ah, those possibilities!

I guess it is hard to find something that rhymes with Yom Kippur and make it a jolly song.

No makeup, no noshing, it's Yom Kippur,
Off with the Guccis, on with the Keds
No sexy business in your beds
Hungary, have patience, just five days more
Then off your toches, and welcome Sukkot
With food and drink and goodies galore

So here is the verse to "Easter Parade," and I'm sorry I can't give you its lovely melody as well:

Never saw you look quite so pretty before
Never saw you dressed quite so lovely, what's more
I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely Easter morning
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door
For

In your Easter bonnet . . .

Funnies for the day - and it's news!

The OOPS Department

Quote

An elderly Canadian woman ended up in the morgue a bit too early.

The unnamed 87-year-old resident of a Surrey, British Columbia, extended-care facility, was sleeping deeply Saturday night when her roommate quietly died.

An ambulance driver came to pick up the dead woman, but forgot to check wristbands to make sure he had the right patient.

"The individual did not follow proper protocol by checking identification," Helen Carkner, spokesman for the local health authority, told The Province newspaper of Vancouver, B.C. "For whatever reason, he took the wrong person."

The healthier roommate slept on as she was placed on a gurney, put in an ambulance and driven to Surrey Memorial Hospital across the street.

She woke up, very much alive, lying on the gurney in a hallway in the hospital's morgue.

Morgue workers had already noticed that their freshest corpse's legs were still moving.

The ambulance driver, recently hired, was immediately fired.

LONDON — Queen Camilla or plain Princess Consort?

Amid conflicting messages from the British government and the royals, who cannot agree on the title of Prince Charles' (search) future wife, one Labour lawmaker is demanding answers.

"This sends shock waves across the world," said Andrew Mackinlay, who has peppered the government with questions about the royal wedding and how it relates to Britain's nebulous constitution.

From the Fond Memories Department

Quote

Orbach's widow, Elaine Orbach, said he used to leave her a poem every morning before he left for work.

Jane Alexander, a friend of the couple's and Orbach's co-star three decades ago in "6 Rms Riv Vu," read a selection of them, including:

"A chilly Thursday morning. The wind could freeze your liver.
"And so, where are we filming? 113th and the River."

Happy Easter!

My throat/bronchial ailment has blossomed "nicely" to the extent that my own mother didn't recognize my voice on the phone this morning. Our son was aghast when I declined to attend church, until I pointed out that no one wants a cough like mine sitting behind them. My doctor yesterday prescribed an antibiotic and cough medicine and, fortunately, ruled out pneumonia. Heck of a way to spend one's vacation, huh?

On a culinary note, I now have a kite-shaped cookie cutter! At the grocery yesterday, I found an egg-shaped one that my son reshaped for me into a perfect kite. So, when the book group comes Thursday night to discuss The Kite Runner we will have shortbread kite cookies with our tea.

KUMQUAT!

Boy, that word wakes you right up, doesn't it?

For those of us of the Jewish persuasion, instead of hunting for Easter eggs, why not hunt for Easter Oys.

Can anyone access the archives?

I think there has been some discussion of RING TWO. I didn’t pay too much attention as I wasn’t expecting to see the movie. Now Keith (why can’t movies like this be released when I’m out of town or sick!) wants to see it so I figure I will just check the archives & check out what had been said about it. No such luck. All I get is an error occurred.

So right you are, I didn’t know bulimia was the cause of the stroke-very, very sad. Did you notice the news today-they took my advice.

I always wonder why Irving Berlin who was Jewish wrote about Christian Holidays (Christmas and Easter)

I guess it is hard to find something that rhymes with Yom Kippur and make it a jolly song.

Somehow I think it would also be sacrilegious.

I love Christmas and Easter songs.

I have been waiting patiently for the pic of the cute bear.

Danise can’t you make the candied kumquats or are they too time consuming? Were they sweet?

Something wrong with being blond, dear cyberfather??

HAPPY EASTER ONE AND ALL!

I am baking a blueberry bread loaf, which will be ready and waiting when I return from the 11 am service. I will eat copious amounts of it, along with eggs and sausage, whilst watching Easter Parade. I cannot think of a better way to celebrate Easter.

except perhaps adding some Easter Ice Cream....

Ben thanks for remember the British stores. Next time you are in them please find out if they sell Humbugs and what brand they sell.

Elmore I think we can share fun holiday experiences. My mother loved Passover and was always on her best behavior. Guess that is why it was always my favorite holiday.

Ann it does sound like a nice Easter.
