Oh, how I love Good Friday (first and foremost, because without Good Friday we can't have Easter). But selfishly, I love Good Friday because both our school AND my office is closed. It's always such a nice way to start the Easter holiday, and this year was no exception. Sarah had to babysit for the Beard family most of the day, but that didn't stop John and me from embarking on a lovely day with nowhere to be and all day to get there.
First, we met Lawrence down at Toast on Market for breakfast. I've been wanting to go there for a while, but the weekends just always seem too busy and crowded. This morning was the perfect day to try this local hot spot, and we had a delicious breakfast of omelettes, chocolate chocolate chip pancakes (isn't that like chocolate cake?) and hot chocolate. Yes, it's a Friday for sure!
After leaving Toast we went over to my friend Jill's antique mall, The Crazy Daisy. John is my shopper child...Sarah would have been miserable nosing around an antique mall for an hour, but John was in heaven. He could poke around and look for all sorts of interesting things for days.
From the Daisy we went by Cave Hill cemetery. John had never seen Cave Hill, and we drove around for at least an hour, stopping to see interesting monuments and statues. Brenda (Ma'am) and Matthew are there, and on such a lovely spring morning I can't imagine a better place to be laid to rest. It was so gorgeous and peaceful. John was astounded at the size of some of the monuments.
Next up was a trip to Oxmoor so that John could spend more of his NCAA bracket winnings. He was the lucky (he would claimed "skilled") winner of Lawrence's office pool, and he's been having a ball with the jackpot. His big splurge was new Beats headphones, which he has yet to take off his body since getting them, and with his remaining money he had his sights set on a UK championship hat. He ended up choosing a shirt instead.
After we got home Lawrence came home early from work and they went to play golf. That night we did our traditional Good Friday egg decorating. We're going to be eating hardboiled eggs for the next week! I love to decorate eggs, no matter how old I am.
Tomorrow is Easter, my favorite holiday. Looking forward to celebrating the Resurrection with family!
