Our easter weekend

[greatbear]

Jeff and I had a rather nice, productive and quite fun weekend. Jeff had volunteered to be the Easter Bunny where he works. He was a bright spot for the children of families who have patients/residents at the assisted living center where he works. Most children and folk had no problem at all with the concept of a 6'3" (not counting the ears) Easter Bunny. Though it was a minor hassle cramming him into the stuffy rabbit get-up and it took away from the weekend off from work, it all evaporated with the gleeful cheer that filled the room when he made his grand appearance. Some things are just worth the time and effort. I did take a few pictures as well.

From there it was up to PA for the rest of the weekend. I took with me one of the chainsaws and the Bissell steamvac (an almost bipolar combo) to help around the homestead. Almost always I feel like I am wasting so much time when I tag along, but working around their house makes me feel like I am earning my keep, plus it helps Jeff's parents out a great deal. They cant get around like they used to, and they dont get much help from Jeff's brother and sister who live nearby. I ended up with a nice load of firewood, a belly full of Easter ham and the comfort of helping out good people who need it.

I see there is still eruptions of fallout from the Great Content Strike of 2008. So much rhetoric and vitriol, it's as if the current presidential primary mess has morphed into the strike bar fight and is still crashing it's way around like something from Blazing Saddles. One thing I cant stand to see is a group of friends (even virtual ones) fighting. It makes me feel one step closer to abandoning my LJ.
