The simplicity of my day to day. |
What are your plans for this weekend? We’re staying at home this year. So many Easter’s we have been away camping with our family, but now our children and grandchildren all seem to have their own plans. We have been invited to a picnic by our granddaughter. She and her husband are going with their neighbours, who also have little children the same age as her two. But the little ones will be happily playing together and the parents will be busy chatting and watching the kids and I wonder if we’ll be in the way. I think maybe we’ll just catch up for coffee at her house on Monday instead. The other granddaughter with her four children have gone away in their caravan. I did send them Easter gifts though. We’ll probably have a visit from my daughter and her husband sometime over the holiday. My husband has been gardening all morning and we’re going shopping for new plants tomorrow. Our son will call us from 4,000 kilometres away and we’ll have FaceTime with our youngest grandson who is two years old. Our other daughter also lives far away but she’ll call us. It’s strange being old, no longer the centre of a large family but now on the perimeter, looking in. But we’re lucky they are all healthy and able to enjoy their lives. |
