Marmitetoasty/Twaddle took the nippers to a real cool castle, called Portchester, and returned with all the nippers in toe and a bunch of photos, too, here (BTW, that's Jacob sitting just above a "do not climb" sign).

*Idaho Escapee/Atmospheric Ruminations gives Don Imus credit for admitting that he stuck his foot in his mouth, which is more credit than he gives President Bush re: the Iraq situation, here.

*Brent Andrews/Chronic Discontent sez there have been times over the Easter weekend in Tennessee that he's had to dive into the lake to cool off. This wasn't one of those years. Yes, the family still had its Easter outing, but the 23 degrees prevented them from jumping in the lake here.

*Inland Empire Girl/Gathering Around the Table tells of a neat Easter tradition that calls for getting off with her husband to enjoy nature after church services here.

*Southwark Lad/Perambulation and his friends are hanging out in Paris, looking up at the Eiffel Tower, acccording to photos posted in his blog, here.

Meanwhile, TUBOB remembers Half Moon Bay last summer here, Idawa/Word Forge catches up with things on his blog here, and Nathan/Transplanted Texan sez the Easter Vigil is the most beautiful service of the year here.
