Easter Greetings to Everyone

Well, we had no White Christmas in Berlin last time, but we're having a White Easter Sunday, albeit only powdery in the city, but we're expecting to see more of a ground cover when we go out to visit and lunch with Edith. Although we actually all wanted to go to Heiko's birthday party (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, brother/brother-in-law!), their son Malte has fever and bronchitis, not something Edith can deal with after her second chemo round only a good week ago and her counts still down. So we're spending the day with her and leaving Heiko with his snotty-nosed family but with our best wishes (also to father-in-law Bernie & wife Rosie, who will risk infection to eat birthday cake).
How can you hide Easter eggs in the snow?
Maybe we can get some photos of this early Easter Berlin landscape and one of the few instances of winter weather we've had this year.
The Chick that laid colored eggs near an NC cotton field last year is on our windowsill looking out at the snow this year.
Chicora Court also has our best wishes and fond memories, and we trust they can sense how endeared they are to us there.
The Dukey traitorous niece (heard we supported the wrong team against UNC in a major game) still has warm greetings headed her way...
To Charleston we're sending a grown-up nephew wishes for fulfillment of his own.
And to Greenville, SC, the lady-in-waiting and her consort are getting big virtual hugs.
To any and all tysonial and gardnerian visitors, you of course know that we miss you all and wish you too a beautiful new season as Easter comes and goes.

  1. Happy Easter to you and Detlef from Durham! Based on the pictures it looks like you had a nice time despite the weather.

    And I loved Obama's speech, clicked on the transcript the morning after with the intention of skimming and then almost made myself late to class reading every word.

  2. Happy (late)Easter to you and all
    y(our) loved ones in Berlin! We had a lovely if cooler day in SC, an afternoon spent by me in the garden getting slit by roses (they really don't like being pruned) and then an evening having dinner with friends. All-in-all a wonderful day.

    Now (Wed) I'm sitting in a too-plush-by-far resort near St. Augustine FL living the high life while my husband works. (Oh well, someone has to justify our being here.) Temps aiming for the 80s! A nice break in the middle of spring.

    Love you all!
