Easter


Easter



So Easter was this past weekend, what did you do for Easter? Since we were small, my parents taught us that Easter and Christmas does not revolve around how much toys you can get or chocolate eggs. But now that we are grown-up and we know what it’s all about, my parents try and go out of their way to make it special.



We went camping at a site near Bloemfontein, the same one we went to for Christmas, it was just as crowded as it was then, and we stood on the opposite side of where we were the previous time. Because the site was so full of people, the power kept tripping J so much fun in the middle of the night, when you are in your bed, reading and the power just goes out. So every couple of hours the power tripped and then some guys from the other groups kept running to the box to fix the problem. Sometimes in tiny shorts (it was the middle of the night)



We missed the Friday sermon at church, so I made sure to make it to the Sunday, which meant we had to be up by 5:00, the service was at 6:00 so we could stand outside in the cold, waiting for the sun to come up. When the sun came up, the church bells rang and our organist played the most beautiful piece I have heard, it gave me goose bumps; just in case you were wondering it wasn’t because I was cold. Afterwards we had hot cross buns and coffee at the church with my new friends from our young adults group. Of course straight after that I had to at least log onto Facebook 50 days is a long time to be away from it, I even forgot my password J



We then went back to our camping site and enjoyed the rest of the day with my family and my mom’s best friend and her family. It was a cool day but sunny, the weather is perfect lately.



We came back late on Monday afternoon. Must admit there are still some washing to be done, and it’s almost weekend again.



On Tuesday none of us felt like going to the gym so we only went yesterday, I felt so much better afterwards, since I had a bad day, involving the dentist and booking an appointment with another dentist to have my wisdom teeth pulled. Doesn’t that sound like so much fun? Can you hear the sarcasm dripping out of my mouth, I have a major fear of dentists and then they want me to be awake?



Are they crazy?!?



Well I have bored you enough today, chat soon, I am alone at work, and it’s quiet so want to get a few more pages read before tonight’s book club. Do you like our name: TheBibliophileClubOfMissMandfriends? I like it.



Have a great day

I feel it in my bones


Monday Morning



Good morning all, just realised I haven’t blogged for a while, here in South Africa we are going to our winter months, which for those of you who don’t know me, I love winter! I know there are many people who hate the winter because it’s cold etc. But here is my reasoning...



Winter is when you feel cold and you can always get another pair of socks or jacket and you will be warm at some point, now in summer you can run around naked and you will still burn up of the heat. So there is point one.



We have a lot of cats (5) in summer months we only see them when it is feeding time. In winter they all come in the house, sleep on our laps and like to cuddle more. Think that is a great reason two J



Finally it’s the weather were the whole family spends more time together. Since it is cold, everyone spends more time in the house. I love family time.



We are going camping this weekend, and its Easter. I really wanted to decorate some eggs this year, but we decided we will skip it this year, since we won’t be home.



I have started another book, so at the moment the tally is 3, the book is called The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, so far it’s a wonderful book and very easy to read.




Last week I Elize joined the gym, I know big shocker, but we decided it’s time and so far we love it. If you want you can check out their website www.curves.com



Hope you all have a great week
