Easter

Easter was a few weeks ago, but it’s maybe never too late to post some pictures.

The lead up to Easter is always a bit crazy.  Easter always falls at the end of the semester, so if you are involved with a church choir like I’ve often been, the many Holy Week services and the intense rehearsal period leading up to Holy Week always happen right during the most busy time of the entire academic year.  This year was no different and, in addition to the usual choir rehearsals, I decided to work my voice back into shape and sing an aria from Bach’s St. Matthew’s Passion for the Good Friday  service.  The work of preparing for Holy Week is usually worth it, but there are many times in the weeks leading up to it that one feels somewhat overwhelmed.

There are grandchildren on both sides of the family now, so Easter usually involves egg hunts.  It was a particularly uncomfortable day at Grandpa and Grandma F’s this year, but the kids seemed rather oblivious to the howling wind.

Aunt I brought a colleague with her again this year.  This one hailed from Deutschland.  While in Manitoba, he was exposed to the wonderful game of “Knipsbrat” and offered some drum lessons (on Aunt K’s new drum) to L and his older cousins.
