Sugar was coursing through our veins.
Some friends of ours from Meeting have a house out in Kingston.
Washington, not Jamaica. They invited us all out for a potluck
egg hunt.
Brixton forgot what he was hunting for. The big kids got him
back on track.
Then everyone spread out on the lawn to inventory their loot.
Then we went to the beach. Chris and I decided we're ready
to retire to Kingston too.
Today we went to Meeting for Worship. In keeping with Quaker
tradition, we have the same kind of silent unprogrammed Meeting
we always have, nothing is different for Easter. The idea is that you
should feel and act the same way on "ordinary" days as you do you
holidays.
Nevertheless. We decorate and get dressed up. It's a middle ground
I guess.
I made this too. Not our ordinary dinner.
Happy Passover, Happy Easter, Happy Spring,
Hallelujah Oh Susannah Amen.
Linking with Amanda at Habit of Being.

Lovely!
What a beautiful place!! I'd want to retire there too if I didn't live on the east coast! Sounds like a perfect Easter weekend!
Great!
I love the idea of a Quaker meeting, especially being how you are on holidays as you are on every single day - a sort of celebration of our best selves for each and every day. Makes total sense to me. Funny, as much as I ride the Anacortes run to our island, I always look at the schedule and wonder about the other destinations, like Kingston. Looks totally gorgeous.
wow, kingston looks amazing. what a great place to be hunting eggs and eating pounds of sugar!
