I hope everyone had a great week and is off to a wonderful start of the Easter weekend.
I’m posting Saturday’s QOTD a bit early since some folks may have plans involving travel, so lets get started with . . .
Today's Questions:
A few days ago Karla asked if we had any special plans for the Easter weekend. Well we all know how things can change at the last minute, though a change of plans isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
So on that note as it’s now Saturday, over the holiday weekend how many of our QOTD family will be:
Coloring Easter eggs? Attending or hosting luncheon(s) and/or dinner(s)? Going out to a restaurant? Going to the movies? Watching or attending a sporting event? Taking a bike ride? Going on a mini-vacation or trip? Other?
Was this what you originally planned to do?
“Just because I want to know”:
This is the _____ Easter weekend since my first post on QOTD?
Did you already know or did you have to check?
Fun & Games:
Over holiday get-togethers, are there any longstanding traditions that involve playing certain games? If so, what is the game?
Today in History: 1789 – President-elect George Washington moves into Franklin House, New York 1861 – Battle of San Antonio, Texas 1896 – Premier of motion pictures (NYC) 1900 – First known occurrence of the word “hillbilly” (NY Journal) 1985 – Coca-Cola announced it is changing its secret flavor formula (New Coke debuts) 1988 – Federal ban on smoking during domestic airline flights of 2 hours or less 1995 – President Clinton declares a national day of mourning for Oklahoma City

Coloring Easter eggs? Not I. Attending or hosting luncheon(s) and/or dinner(s)? Dinner at my house on Sunday afternoon. Just my sis and bro-in-law and our aunt. Small family! Going out to a restaurant? Nope. Going to the movies? Nope. Watching or attending a sporting event? Nope. Taking a bike ride? Nope. Going on a mini-vacation or trip? I WISH!!!!! Other? Was this what you originally planned to do? Yes.
“Just because I want to know”: This is the second Easter weekend since my first post on QOTD? Did you already know or did you have to check? Already knew.
Fun & Games: Over holiday get-togethers, are there any longstanding traditions that involve playing certain games? If so, what is the game? We used to play board games, but my aunt's vision is failing, so we won't be doing that this year. We're going to watch a Disney animated movie instead. She's up for that.
Today in History: 1789 – President-elect George Washington moves into Franklin House, New York There's a bar in my town call Franklin House! 1861 – Battle of San Antonio, Texas 1896 – Premier of motion pictures (NYC) 1900 – First known occurrence of the word “hillbilly” (NY Journal) 1985 – Coca-Cola announced it is changing its secret flavor formula (New Coke debuts) Big mistake. 1988 – Federal ban on smoking during domestic airline flights of 2 hours or less 1995 – President Clinton declares a national day of mourning for Oklahoma City

My Word of the Day is conundrum \kuh-NUN-drum\ n. RIDDLE (I just always thought that was a cool word. )
Today is:
Coloring Day I miss coloring Easter eggs!
Good Eats Day Isn't this EVERY day?
Smile & the World Smiles with You Day This is true.
Sunshine on Your Shoulders Day Reminds me of John Denver's song. I love to sit on my porch and play that song on my guitar and sing quietly. (Not loud enough for neighbors to hear, and only after dark!)
Have a great holiday weekend and don’t forget to Yes, ALWAYS be kind to critters!
I have no plans for Easter previously, presently or changes beyond my thought of how crowded the church will be. Nor, do I have any idea of how many Easters...
Church Easter egg hunt for kiddos is about the only traditional game.
Hopefully tomorrows flight to Africa will be my last one before I get to go home. Of course getting home will be no easy task. I fly from Germany to Tampa, FL where I will spend a couple days. Then I fly to Fairbanks, Alaska where I will have to stay for a couple days and work a couple flights. Then finally I fly to Anchorage. All in all it will take me a week to get home.

Was this what you originally planned to do? More or less
“Just because I want to know”:
This is the second Easter weekend since my first post on QOTD? Finally a fill in the blank question that did not require me to suffer thru large amounts of anxiety trying to come up with something creative.
Did you already know or did you have to check? Was not too hard to figure out in my head.
Fun & Games:
Over holiday get-togethers, are there any longstanding traditions that involve playing certain games? If so, what is the game? Seeing how there is just me I do not play many games. I am a sore loser and I really hate it when I lose to myself.

My Word of the Day is Laundry \ lawn dree \ n.\ articles of clothing, linens, etc., that have been or are to be washed.
Used in a sentence - I need to hurry up and finish answering these questions so I can go do my laundry.

Was this what you originally planned to do? Yup
“Just because I want to know”:

Did you already know or did you have to check?
Already knew
Fun & Games:
Over holiday get-togethers, are there any longstanding traditions that involve playing certain games? If so, what is the game? No games.... just the Easter egg hunt. My daughter is 32 but we still have the hunt when she's here. This year she's gone to a wedding, so the hunt will have to wait till next year!

My Word of the Day is Shuddup (aimed squarely at a visiting dog next door who has barked non-stop all darn day while his owner and the house owner have been out and about).

So on that note as it’s now Saturday, over the holiday weekend how many of our QOTD family will be:
Coloring Easter eggs? Already done Attending or hosting luncheon(s) and/or dinner(s)? Some of my family will be having dinner together at my parents. Although they are both gone now we still own the house and often get together there. This Easter we'll have at least 16 with the possibility of 4 more having dinner.
Was this what you originally planned to do?
It is.
“Just because I want to know”:
This is the ___3rd__ Easter weekend since my first post on QOTD?
Did you already know or did you have to check? I think I know. (Well, I had to edit. I was wrong!)
Fun & Games:
Over holiday get-togethers, are there any longstanding traditions that involve playing certain games? If so, what is the game? My grandparents used to play a card game called Double King....... something. We always play games, but not specific games. Cards or board games if it's cold and outdoor games if warm enough. I'm hoping it will be nice enough to play outside with the kids tomorrow. Right now it's snowing.
I'll be cooking today & getting the Easter presents ready for the grandbundles. Have a wonderful Saturday!
So on that note as it’s now Saturday, over the holiday weekend how many of our QOTD family will be:
Coloring Easter eggs?
Attending or hosting luncheon(s) and/or dinner(s)?
Going to the movies? Probably watching a few DVDs, too rainy to hike.
Watching or attending a sporting event? Might watch a few of these if we canlt find a good movie.
Other?
Was this what you originally planned to do?
Nope, we have an annual hike that we like to take to see the spring wildlflowers. Too rainy for that, plus some of the shoreline washed away in a storm, so our trail is closed.
“Just because I want to know”:
This is the _____ Easter weekend since my first post on QOTD?
Second since QOTD, but what I really notice is this is the 6th Spring Break I've endured. Spring Break seems to mean a few really bored kids have nothing better to do than visit my regular forum... usually, that doesn't turn out well.
Fun & Games:
Over holiday get-togethers, are there any longstanding traditions that involve playing certain games? If so, what is the game?
No, but I'd like to start one.I love that sort of thing, but the rest of my family just rolls their eyes and groans.
