Easter Monday Update

 We got water on Easter Monday, not kites.

Easter Monday in Linden

 It is Easter Monday! It is time for kites. I'm planning to get a kite very soon. I'm about to have more cross buns. This one is from my aunt.

Breakfast; Easter; Starbucks

Good morning from Amelia's Ward, Linden, Guyana! It is a good morning. I am having coffee and cross buns (thanks to a friend of my sister who must have made lots and lots of cross buns for her family). I wanted cross buns and a kite for Easter. I have the cross buns. I hope I get the kite soon. I heard that kites will be sold nearby. I am enjoying the coffee although I prefer tea (because of less caffeine, and so on). I made Starbucks instant coffee. I did not purchase the Starbucks instant coffee from a store in Guyana. It came from the U.S.

It has been a while since I purchased something I like from a Starbucks store. I shopped at Starbucks quite often. I remember when I purchased a grilled cheese sandwich and a frappuccino from Starbucks New Carrollton the day I planned to go see Wakanda Forever (see pictures here: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/11/out-and-about-nov12.html). I planned to see the movie at the Regal Cinemas over 5 miles away in Bowie, Maryland. I did not get to see the movie. I know a Starbucks store opened in Guyana nearly a year ago. Maybe I'll be able to visit the store sometime when I'm close to Amazonia Mall on the East Bank.

Kite

 I thought about the kite I want to get. I would like to get a standard Guyanese kite dressed up with ears and other accessories in earth tones. The ears should be made with paper with horizontal blocks of color (similar to the color example shown below, which is from my 'The Right Color' board in Pinterest, https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/the-right-color/). I need a special kite.

Easter

 It is almost Easter and I am looking foward to eating cross buns and getting a kite! The day for kite flying will be very soon - Easter Monday will be on April 1st (and Good Friday three days prior on March 29th). 

In case you're wondering, both Good Friday and Easter Monday fall in April most times. This year, Good Friday is near the end of March. When I looked up Easter dates in previous years, I was not surprised to see that Good Friday and hence Easter Monday were in April during the last five years (2019-2023). See the attached table (Credit: Calendarpedia).

I would like to get a large and very colorful kite. The believe I was 11 or 12 years old when I had a kite last. I went out kite flying all day here in Linden. When I was here five years ago, I returned to the U.S. just prior to Easter. I guess I missed the kite flying then.

I should be here for Easter and several weeks after.
