The weather has been dreary and cold the last week or so, but the sun finally came out again today for Easter. The sunshine and the warmer weather was just the cap to the fabulous day! I started out by making the early service at a local church I've been wanting to check out, and then enjoying a lovely Easter brunch at Emmett's Ale House in downtown Downers Grove. It was a great spread of traditional brunch fare: bacon, sausage, Eggs Benedict (my favorite!), lox and bagels, salad, croissants, shrimp cocktail, pork tenderloin, spring veggies, pastries and of course, champagne and mimosas! The food was great and it made me feel all Eastery and fancy! :)
Afterwards, I picked up my dog, Hippo, and made the trek to my brother's house. The rest of the day was spent with family, more food, and lounging on the couch, watching movies.
It may not have been an "adventure," per se, but it couldn't have been a more perfect day!
Happy Easter, everyone!
Happy Easter to you and Hippo! Glad to hear you had a wonderful day. Love and miss you.
