Easter Eggs! The Throwback...

Almost Easter Egg Time!

I am throwing it back today to one of LadyBug's first Easters with us!  She discovered what hard boiled eggs were all about!

There was NO way I was going to keep her away from those eggs...this dog could LIVE on eggs!!  As soon as she realized that there was an actual egg inside those pretty colored things...she just helped herself!  She would lick the outside of the egg first...which of course made her face turn blue! 

There is no shortage of laughter in this house with these two...let me tell you!!

I still miss my baby girl...every day!

We DO have a LOT of antics around here with three though!

And YES I did color eggs last night...

Happy Thursday!

Travel Tuesday: The Easter Edition

OK....moving right along!  For today's post, we are sharing our Easter on the Road pics!

We spent Easter in an RV Park in Sneads Ferry, NC because it was the closest one to my sister's house...that was actually decent!  In fact it really was a beautiful park.  My brother drove down from CT and my sister and brother in law and B and I all met at a quaint little restaurant called the Village Cafe.  

What an awesome chef!  It was a buffet with ALL the fixins and they were taking orders for made to order omelets...that were superb!

**I debated and debated whether to post some of these pics, but I decided in LadyBug's memory that I would share them here.**

I hope you enjoyed visiting Sneads Ferry, NC with us and celebrating Easter.  

Yes, OF COURSE, we get Easter Baskets!!!

Our Visit to Country Max

Each year, around Easter, Country Max has their Chicks and Ducks and Bunnies on display for all to see!  I am that woman who actually asks the workers if they mind if I take a photo...and of course...they say, "no problem"!

Aren't they so cute??

If Chloe had been with me...she would have been doing some serious SHAKING!!!

Our Easter Day!

I have always enjoyed coloring eggs...and still do!  For the past eight years, we have been on the road down south for Easter and I didn't color any...so I made up for it this year!

Here is an assortment of bunny ears that the girls have worn in previous years...

Chloe stayed up late decorating with me...she is so curious to see what is going to come out next!  Both of the girls absolutely LOVE boiled eggs...so when they are placed within range...it is a BIG deal!!

The minis came out for Easter!  If anyone is interested in having one of the minis custom made, please let me know and I will be happy to pass along the information.  My friend does a wonderful job on these!  She even managed to capture the exact expressions of Chloe and LadyBug's personalities!  She will do other breeds...not just Bichons!

Ben was in charge of opening up a couple of the packages that the Easter Bunny brought for the girls.  They love being in the middle of all the excitement!  I was going to have an egg hunt for them, but we had reservations for dinner and I just ran out of time!  The weather was absolutely perfect.  We could not have asked for better weather for Easter Sunday.

As most of you know, we always spent holidays at Steamboat Landing here in Canandaigua, but since they closed the restaurant and actually tore down the building, we had to find a new favorite spot.  We have chosen Bristol Harbour and it is just perfect!  The food is always very, very fresh and the service is perfect.  The views are just to die for!  The restaurant is under new management and is undergoing major renovations so I was not able to get any photos overlooking the lake as they have most of the backside of the restaurant torn apart.  They are building new walkways and patios...it will be beautiful when it is completed.

Up next for tomorrow, I have a few more photos of the girls enjoying their day!  Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!

All I Need To Know I Learned From The Easter Bunny!

All I need to know

I learned from the Easter Bunny!

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Some body parts should be floppy.

Keep your paws off of other people's jelly beans.

Good things come in small packages.

The grass is always greener in someone else's basket.

To show your true colors, you have to come out of the shell.

May the joy of the Passover and Easter season fill your heart 

and your baskets with all things

happy and good!

My thanks to Gaile!!

Thoughtless Thursday: The "What Have I DONE" Edition...

I haven't seen my older sister in about three years, so I decided to book a trip to go visit her and her husband at their new house.

I am not one to just hop on a plane, especially since we got the RV.  I have done a fair amount of traveling all over the U.S. and the Caribbean for business and pleasure...but I've always been a bit on the nervous side.  ALWAYS.  I remember one particular connecting flight from Cleveland to Rochester...and after we boarded, I looked around and said to the flight attendant, "where are the restrooms?"  She said, "There isn't any!"  I thought I would DIE.

That was THE longest flight in history.  

So, as I started to tell you, I went ahead and booked a trip that is coming up in a couple of weeks.  

Then.  Brussels happened.

Now...not kidding... I am pretty terrified.  I cannot watch the news.  I keep telling myself that I shouldn't worry.  My husband says, just be vigilant and aware of your surroundings.  OK.  Easier said than done.

I will do my best to enjoy my trip...that is all I can do. 

(Although I have considered valium...)

On to other news...

Have you made plans to celebrate Easter?  I am getting things together to make up baskets for the girls.  Greenies is on the top of my shopping list!  They would prefer that the entire basket be FILLED to the brim with them!! :)

Miss Chloe is very excited about the Easter Bunny arriving!  

I am joining the Thoughtless Thursday Blog Hop hosted by Ruckus, MKClinton, and Owned by a Husky.

Ways We Celebrate Easter...

Here are a few reminders of the way we spend our Easters...

These were taken when LadyBug first joined our family...don't think she had ever seen a colored egg before, but she was FASCINATED by them!!  She wanted to lick them!  Then, she wanted to eat them ALL!!

This was Easter a couple of years ago ... we were in the RV, so coloring eggs wasn't done that year!

This was the same year...we had the very best Mahi-Mahi Tacos!!

My favorite...I just LOVE coloring eggs!!  Chloe really enjoys helping me too!!
