Aloha...Palm Sunday, Bunnies, Bunny Bait and Hawaii

Happy Day, Happy Day...
it's Palm Sunday!

like i said...
HAPPY DAY!

ordinarily, i wouldn't make clog up a Palm Sunday post with
other stuff...
but i'm not sure when i'll be able to post again so here goes...

 we are off to Hawaii tomorrow!

the NorthShore...

surf capitol of the world...

and the place we were married 20 years ago:)

we always promised the girls 

we'd take them back to the place it all began...

so away we go!

we'll do a bit of this...

and this...

(shopping on the north shore:)

and this...

(horseback riding on the beach)

and we will celebrate Easter Sunday morning services on the beach with

North Shore Christian Church.

Our Prayers are with you and your ohana!
May your testimony be sweet praises to God!

you might remember it as Bethany Hamilton's church

in the movie Soul Surfer.

it should be a very special Easter morning!

now, let's talk about BUNNIES...

get ready to say "AWWWWW"

i think SOMEBUNNY has been eating too much

BUNNY BAIT:)

what's bunny bait?

THIS is bunny bait...

and it is YUMMY!!!!!

according to Sing for my Supper, here is all you do...
Bunny Bait
1 bag popcorn, popped
6 oz. white chocolate candy coating
1 bag Easter M&Ms
pretzel sticks, broken into small pieces (if desired)
colorful sprinkles, (if desired)
Place the popped popcorn in a large bowl with the broken up pretzels and M&Ms. Heat the candy coating in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each time, until melted and smooth.
Drizzle the candy coating over the popcorn mixture and stir to coat. The pretzels and M&Ms will sink to the bottom, so make sure to get those stirred in and coated with the rest of the popcorn.
Spread out on a large piece of wax paper, top with a few sprinkles (if desired) and let cool. Break into pieces and serve in a large bowl.

and be sure to whip up a bunch of that bunny bait:)
God Bless...

Happily Ever After...

...or "happiness is being married to your BEST friend".

60 years ago today...

Leo married Irene...

the pretty girl he saw walk by the service station

with her girlfriend.

Hmmm...wonder if he whistled?:)

Anyway, here they are

60 years later,

4 daughters later,

11 grandchildren later,

and lots of great grandchildren later...

still married...

still spending life together with their best friend.

Best friend?

Don't they have other friends?

yes...there have been many for both throughout those 

60 years...

but when all is said and done...

their "bestest friend"...

is the one by their side...

every day...

for 60 years.

What an example for

their daughters...

grandchildren...

great-grandchildren...

and many others who crossed their paths

through the years...

like neighbors,

co-workers,

friends,

campers,

golf buddies,

and choir members...

to name a few.

I think it is probably simple...

don't get married unless it is to your best friend...

and you could happily be by their side for

60 years...

or more.

(See...you can blame them for me believing in 

happily ever after:)

Hey...what did you expect from a girl with a blog called

fairytales and grace?

Happy 60th Anniversary to my mom and dad!

I love you!!!

Suzy

XOXOXOXO

For my Mom and Dad...

Today as both of you look back
with happiness and pride
upon the Fifty-nine cherished years
that you've spent side by side,
May every memory that you share
of dreams you've seen come true,
help make this special day
a happy one for you!


Happy Anniversary to my Mom and Dad!
Love, Love, Love,
Suzanne
