This past week I'd been feeling a bit homesick. Sad that I wasn't able to hop in a car and drive home to spend the holiday with my family in Texas, I was experiencing the pangs of separation from my parents and sisters, my bed and house, everything I associate with being home on the holidays. Feeling a bit sorry for myself, I was determined to have a good weekend despite the distance. I had planned to have a nice little Easter dinner, to attend a Unitarian church service in Cambridge and to spend some quality time with my temporary dog, Princess....
However, it just wasn't to be so. My friend, my ma'am, Ms. Rachel Hamilton of Wellesley, Massachusetts, who now resides in New York City, invited me to spend the holiday with her family. I had to release my former plans for the weekend, but graciously accepted. Saturday evening, I traveled with her to Welleslely, MA, right outside of Boston and got to enjoy some quality with her family and home, a welcome replacement for my own!
Sunday morning, Rachel and I took in a walk around Wellesley College, breathing in some fresh non-city air and then celebrated Easter with a fabulous lunch at the Hamilton's friend's and neighbor's house. Then, following dinner, the hunting began. All of us donned our own basket and rushed through the yard in search of both plastic and hard-boiled eggs. We all came away with some tasty and fun treats. It was overall a fabulous day! Thank you, to both Rachel and the entire Hamilton family, for your hospitality. And also for the eggs...(:
