         Back home last night and sleeping in our own bed again. Wonderful quiet sleep and waking up not having to wonder where we are. Our house is familiar even if the outside surroundings are different, The one thing we really like about living in our home on wheels. lots of new scenery.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter
hopefully with friends and family

        Nice and mild outside but still overcast, damp and drizzling. So not my idea of a nice walkabout that I am missing. No problem hop in the car and go for drive around some back paved country roads and through the quiet streets of New Hamburg on an Easter Sunday morning, So peaceful. Stopped by the Nith river in town by the Dam. The water is really moving over it now and the river banks rising.

morning rive to New Hamburg

       I stopped by the river in down and with all the rain water is really flowing over the dam and down the river.

Nice water wheel on the other side

in the summer there is stepping stones
 to walk across the river
not today !

nice mural on the side of the fire hall

           Back home putter around for a while a bit more computing and reading. Then chatted with my sister for a while just catching up with each other, it has been a while. About 11 am no more rain and has warmed up nicely, still no sunshine but an nice 2 mile walk down the road and back sure felt wonderful, A bit later the sun did come out for a bit and 65F (18C) now thats much better!

nice to get out for a quiet country walk, no cars
and just some birds in the distance

this field is getting nice and green

no leaves n the trees yet

    Everyone here the prayer was done and we began the buffet and what a feast they had for us!

I started with a small salad and breakfast
they even had pickled heart and tongue that I love
smaller plates right?

     Then the main course, potatoes, gravy, veggies, turkey, dressing, stuffed pork loin, roast beef, Lamb, potato garlic soup and all the trimmings oh yeah so tasty.

lots of choices

tasty homemade desserts as well

the first plate was breakfast, now this one is dinner
oh so good, as usual ate too much
no more food today, will be rolling home

      Tried to get a picture of everyone at once but did not happen, with so many people and the endless supply of food nit possible. But the conversations just kept flowing all around the table as everyone chatted and got caught up with everyone else.

the littles ones were kept busy with Sonya and Roslynn

lots of activities here for them

    It was about 4 pm when we returned home and found it was a wonderful day outside, sunshine 68F (20C) and no wind or rain ! Yahoo!!! Chairs outside at 4:30 so we can enjoy this amazing spring weather, a happy hour the 2 of us and diving right into out page turners. No need for supper tonight so there was no slowing us down.

         Before I knew it was 7:30 pm and still a decent 60f. but getting a bit chilly. So did a quick drive down the road to see if I could catch a sunset with the blue skies and fluffy clouds.

looks wonderful to the south of us

only a trace of a sunset to the west
to much cloud cover

this was it from a distance

      Any how we had a perfect Easter Sunday, with family fun lots of amazing food and a some very nice spring weather. Time to call it a night and head inside.

       Thanks for joining us today and really hope you had a wonderful Easter Sunday as well.
