Our family's Easter get-together happened yesterday, Easter Monday, at our home. Ben, Josée, Tim, Andi, Charlotte, Oliver, Jean and Ron came for dinner. Cynthia spent most of the day getting a delicious meal ready for us which even included home-made sausage rolls before-hand. We all enjoyed the food and the wine too. After the meal, some of us went out to the drive and the road to watch Charlotte and Oliver ride their bicycles. Charlotte got hers for Christmas and is now very proficient at riding the bike. Oliver's little two wheeler is called a Strider I believe. It has no pedals so he propels the bike with his legs as we used to do on scooters years ago. The result is great to watch as he has learned to balance the bike really well. (See video clip below) Not bad riding for 2 years 6 months eh? Tim and Andi bought the bike on a shared basis, with them paying half and friends paying half. When Oliver outgrows the bike, it will go to the son of the friends who is a year younger than Oliver I believe. Smart thinking to be sure! We had a really good time before Tim, Andi and the youngsters left, followed by Ben and Josée afterwards. Jean and Ron stayed on for a while longer and we four oldies but goodies had an enjoyable chat together after the dust had settled. Thanks to all who came. We are so fortunate to have you living so close. Best wishes to all who read this. Thanks for taking the time to do so. The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed!
