can<\/em> tell you that, if you don\u2019t mind spending the big bucks, I think it would be lovely to sit along the water someplace, perhaps in Marina Del Rey, to have a peaceful Easter brunch.<\/p>\n2) My favorite thing to do is to go to a house party, with a lawn, of course, for an Easter e-word hunt. (I told you I hate words that begin with \u201ce.\u201d I wasn\u2019t lying.) The only problem is that someone has to do the hiding. I\u2019ve been the one doing the e-word hiding with my precious kid friends in Rhode Island, and I put little clues in the plastic ones. It was great fun for all of us, although I\u2019d really rather be the one finding them, (which I\u2019m sure comes as no surprise to those of you who know my \u201cI won\u2019t grow up\u201d Peter Pan policy.)<\/p>\n
[Sidebar on #2 above: one year, I was a guest at the hunt at the Playboy Mansion. I, of course, found the most e-words, by far. But when it came time to award the prizes, Hef let families put all their e-words in one basket, so to speak, and totally ignored me! And I was even young, skinny, and cute back then! Turns out, the prizes were major, like TVs, and he wanted to give them to his personal friends rather than a stranger who was there at one of his pals\u2019 invitation. Shame on him.]<\/p>\n
3) The loveliest thing to do, in my opinion, is to either host, or go to, a garden afternoon tea. I actually like this idea best with just lady friends, no men and no children, but whatever floats your boat. It\u2019s actually easy enough to do, especially if you don\u2019t make it too fancy. And, when there are a group of people around, I always feel like some form of Jell-O must be served. I\u2019m not kidding. My friends think that sounds nuts, until they see what I come up with, like Jell-O easter e-words or whole easter bunny. (You need molds for both.) So simple, yet so impressive.<\/p>\n
4) Have a picnic. Have each person bring a dish and go to a neighborhood park. Good friends, good food, and good air. Bring some chocolate bunnies and you\u2019re all set.<\/p>\n
5) If you have to stay in, and want a simple way to entertain people, especially a small group, this is what I did one year when my parents were visiting, and I invited just a few friends over: I ordered a party-size sub sandwich, made a giant salad, and baked a batch of cookies, and we all colored e-words, which trust me, my parents had never done before in their lives. Just the process of being artistic, in such an easy way, in a group, made the get-together so special and fun. I swear–I think I just talked myself into this one for Sunday! Thanks, Karen.<\/p>\n
No matter how you spend it, try to have some colorful fun. This day is only once a year, so push yourself to do something to celebrate it.<\/p>\n

<\/a>So, today is Earth Day, a relatively new \u201choliday\u201d in the scheme of the world, founded awhile back by a Senator with the great name of Gaylord Nelson. Upon researching it, just to wish you a happy one–I know, I\u2019m nuts–I discovered that it actually began forty-one years ago! Who knew???<\/p>\n
