15 years of wedded bliss

And here they are, 15 years ago today.  It was a windy but lovely spring day as I recall.
Happy wedding anniversary to my wonderful brother and his incredibly kind wife!  It was fun to be part of the wedding party that day, even if my slip did ride up under my dress and look like a spare tire.  ha ha
We had a wonderful meal and yummy cake and ice cream with beautiful bird house decorations everywhere!  I remember doing Darlene's hair that morning, and setting up tables the night before.  Both my dad and Darlene's were with us then - such special memories.

Remember this post from January 2009?
Well, lucky us.  Here we go again.  But "Varicelle" unfortunately doesn't have a nice catchy rhyme with "Léna".......

EASTER!

 The Easter Bunny left a nibbled carrot.  This is what Estelle had to tell me, in a whisper, at 6:40 a.m.

 In France, flying bells bring hens full of chocolate pieces in the shapes of fish and seashells.

 Léna is happy to see her hen.

 After Easter mass today, we went to Antibes to see Chantal for Easter dinner.  We enjoyed a little egg hunt in her garden.

 More chocolate bunnies!

 Chantal made a delicious leg of lamb!

 I made yet another cheesecake.  It looked so beautiful.  But the texture was just not quite right.

 After that cheesecake, it was time for a walk along the sea at Cap d'Antibes.  I had never done this walk before.

 A  little stop on the beach.....

 It was hot!

A lovely Easter day.  In spite of all our challenges, we are lucky, and blessed.
