Easter is for Kids!

Today I had such fun.
Well actually it was quite hard. You see yesterday Rod and I had our Christmas lunch (late I know). We had coffee and then met up at 12:15 to head to Bergdorf. We had a LUSH lunch at BG. How many bottles? Who knows! But the lobster napoleon with pasta, black truffle and chanterelles was divine. Then we went to Barneys, had champagne at Fred’s bought shoes and tried on hats. Why not?
Then we proceeded to Mrs. John L. Strong and Rod bought me "Silk Riding" Thank You Note paper. To laymen that means terribly expensive thank you notes with silk jockeys embossed on cards. He bought loads of other things including Dior shoes. Then we stumbled to Hermes and I had my belt fixed and Rod bought a child's bathrobe. As one does!
I passed out at 6PM and woke at 12am. Crikey!

Today I woke at 7:30am, dressed, had coffee with Rod and went over last night antics.
Then I took the bus to Bergdorfs and gazed at Russian eggs at La Vielle Russie and big golden eggs at Tiffanys.
I then watched the LAME hat parade. How sad :(
I thought it would be so chic and it was so tacky.
From 59th I strolled down to 12th to First Presbyterian where I met Mark, Mary and Ali-Star for Choich (that is how you say it down South). I love First Pres for mant reasons. First off it is gorgeous and built around 1840. Secondly, it is where Teddy Roosevelt got Baptised (it says so on the font) and thirdly, it is so open minded but not at all happy slappy. Everyone is so Bunny Bixler and Thurston Howell but then you realize that Thurston has a son with Thornton and Bunny is his best friend. Get it?

Church was such fun, not just because I was cradling an enfant but because the preacher declared, "Today is the only day men can wear lavender ties and not feel odd!" Hey! I wear them daily but I am Easter daily...
Then the Minister got me with his witty walk through history declaring, "We think we are so clever, us moderns, debunking the bible with evidence."
How true!
We are nervous about mystery.
But after that, Mary and I sang, Mark took Alistair to day care where the teacher was perplexed when Mark tried to help "Is that the little girl with two daddies?" And she said, "Well yes, but that doesn’t narrow it down in this church!"
How divine! Non?
The daddies at this church are so slick as one can see in these pics (Mr. White teeth!) . This is really my kind of church, the minister just had a daughter with her wife! Love it.
We ended church with a freezing Easter egg hunt and then a stroll down to Blue Ribbon Bakery. Well we might of well had the stone rolled out from our tomb we were so far underground at our table. But what fun. Michelle Barge joined us and we had a proper Easter lunch and quality old friend time together. Once Alistair was sweepy we left and kissed the parents goodbye.
Barge and I, as usual, left for several more drinks.
Now here I am at 8:30 PM stuffed, happy and well sorted.
Twas a perfect Easter, well if I could have only been home in the south riding, but that is another story.
Love to all and much chocolate and kinder eggs!
