| right for our Kitchen table, love the view |
A walkabout town this morning about 8 am up to the arena to check out the festivities that are getting under way. Ball hockey for the young ones in the outside pavilion and the 3 on 3 co-ed hockey tournament has begun and will be going all weekend.

| the Canadian Legion brought 3 army trucks here to display |
More things going on, like an Easter egg hunt in the park at 1 pm and a magician at 3:30 in the curling club next door. There will be bands playing, silent auction going on, with food and beverages also available.
At 1 pm we went to the park to check out the activities , Easter egg hunt was wonderful so many kids scrambled around after the Easter Bunny and filled their baskets with chocolate eggs. So nice to see the community all here to participate. Reminds me of the Easter egg hunts we did years ago when I belonged to the Optimist Club in town. Nice to see the Lions have taken over and new younger people have stepped up to the plate to do these things. One thing we really love about small towns when everyone pulls together.
And while here chatted with so many people we know from all the years in town. And especially good friends Elmer and Kay ( Pa and Ma of Pa-fest we go to in August)

Back home enjoying this wonderful weather, I am wandering about the yard here gathering lots of broken branches that have come down over the winter. In preparation for mowing the grass (5 acres) in a short while, looks like will soon be ready in another week or so. Also checked out the large commercial mower, charged the battery and made sure it fired up and is ready to go when the time comes.

After dishes done I sat outside on the west side of our coach working on the blog and enjoying more great weather. A good friend from town walking down the road noticed me and stopped by for a chat , have not talked to him in years. So nice to catch up again and he does follow our blog once in a while as well.
Starting to cool down a bit about 7;30 as the sun is beginning to set. So inside to finish posting and relax for the rest of the night.

| a pretty nice sunset tonight as well |
A fun busy day considering we had nothing planned for a quiet one.
But we take it one day at a time and enjoy what ever comes along.
Thanks for stopping in and hope you had a great day as well,
Easter weekend for most of us, so HAPPY EASTER !
Where have we been this past Winter?
