Easter & Curling

And what do these two things have in common. Well more that likely absolutely nothing! Just wanted to see if you were paying attention. And I really wanted to talk about both.

1st - Easter - As you can see I have changed my background to Easter already. Why you ask? Well to be completely honest with you....I LOVE EASTER! It's my favorite holiday. All of the hum bug from Christmas is replaced with WOO HOO at Easter. Not only do I love what it symbolizes for Christians (the whole world actually), but both my anniversary and birthday fall in this lovely season. I adore this season for so many reasons. Great cool crisp weather with wonderful blue skies, stunning flowers that come into bloom. And what does most of that equal, well simply - GREAT picture taking opportunities. I love to take pictures in the spring and around Easter. So you see there are lots of great reasons that I love this time of year.

2nd - Curling - Well during these Winter Olympics I have become addicted to curling. I blame J. for this. A little background here, J. lived most of his life in Minnesota, yep, this southern girl married a midwesterner (that's a whole other story), and he started curling when he was really young and loves it. So therefore, we have been watching all the matches on TV and have become really interested in this sport. Too bad that way down south we don't have a whole lot of ice rinks and definately no curling clubs that we could join. But we're looking, I thing J. found that the closest one is about 1 1/2 hours away. So we'll have to see what happens.

So there you go. Easter and Curling, one has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, the other may become one in the near future.

Blessings & Happy (early) Easter!
