2. Do you exchange gifts or have a traditional meal? No.

3. How many Easter Eggs (or alternative) did your receive/give? None.

4. Was Easter a Bank Holiday in your country or did you have to work this weekend? Good Friday was the day off.

I am grateful my family gathered and took pics – these are the youngest of the clan😵‍💫

H for Hydra was depicted as a gigantic, snake-like monster with many heads, each of which could dispel acid. In mythological accounts, cutting off one of the Hydra’s heads would result in two more growing into its place. In Greek mythology it was known to have nine heads, one of which was immortal. He met his death at the hands of Hercules.

Always a handy guy to have around, James, the valet. His duties were written in a contract by the head of the household, Miss Scarlet Jones. Miss Jones was a stickler for neatness and decorum, at least in public. She rang the bell that was heard in the lower part of the house, for the servants. He entered the room with a soft knock, “yes, Miss Jones?”

“The usual, James, and when we’re done, don’t forget to press my dress…again.”

Joe tried to bury his wife’s outcry because it was louder this year at tax time. This year he had tried to absorb some of the money that would be due investing in contemporary commodities, hoping to smooth out their debt. They were saddled with high insurance costs and needed to find a way to compensate. Even though his wife’s illness was their main financial drain, he couldn’t contemplate how best to manage their finances.
