Happy Easter

By Bea McManis

Can it be Easter already?  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend.

I'll be going away for the weekend.  I'm really looking forward to spending some time just relaxing.  Relaxing comes with a price.  The "to do" list seems to grow as the departure time nears. 

Since this is a road trip, it means a trip to the grocery store for the picnic lunch I plan to pack.  A meatless picnic is a challenge.  Thinking seafood salad sandwiches.

Dig out spring clothes and get laundry finished.

Pack a bag - not a lot, it's only a weekend.

Hair cut on Friday morning

Bring the book I'm trying to finish, "Out Stealing Horses".

Remember to take the phone that has Navigator so I don't get lost.  I can get to the hotel okay, it is the trip from the hotel to my destination on Saturday that is always dicey.  Even worse is the trip from there back home.  Almost a hour on back roads before getting back on Route 5 and familiar surrounds.

Straighten out the house before i leave.

Bring camera.  This is a sporting event, so there should be good action shots.

Somewhere in this coming weekend there will be time to relax.  I'm looking forward to that.  Stretch out and finish that book.  Take the time to enjoy the wonderful scenery that our New York has to offer.
