[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 139836, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Welcome back, dreamer. husband was telling me this morning, that this Easter is the very earliest that Easter can be, with our calendar, as Easter traditonally is on the first full moon after the spring equinox (Northern Hemisphere). So maybe that explains the snow and slush. I think it will be about 90 years or so before Easter is ever this early again. TM, I hope the headache doesn't develop any further. And Nomad - right back at you! husband & I just got back home after a VERY full day. We were up early to set the candle in its holder, then husband drove me to church (I walked in VERY carefully). Our friends from Philadelphia came along, they really enjoyed themselves. After that, we had a quick lunch and then headed into the city where we walked around the Opera House before going to see "The Black Balloon", the movie our kids were in. The movie is about a teenage boy coming to terms with the hassles of growing up with an autistic brother. "Rain Man" it ain't, this is very real, harrowing at times. We saw it a few weeks ago at a preview, but I was busy keeping difficult child 3 quiet. This time I was free to really pay attention, and it hit hard. It has so much on so many levels. Our friends are involved in working with carers in the US, but said there is nothing for kids who are carers - we talked to them a lot about our experiences, and our kids'. Here's hoping they can help set something up on their return. We had dinner together in Chinatown, then dropped them at their hotel. It's been a whirlwind few days for us and them; they fly out tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we meet the prospective in-laws for difficult child 1, to talk wedding plans. We're a bit apprehensive, since girlfriend's mother may want a lot of things her way. As mother of the bride, she won't want to let go of any possible attention. I'm happy for her to have my share, but the bridal couple want everything low-key and quick (no, it's not a shotgun wedding). Wish us luck. And enjoy your celebrations. Marg [/QUOTE]
