Happy Easter

While on the subject of Regis & Kelly, remember when Anderson was mixing the meatloaf? Well, I sure could've used those large, skillful hands the last couple of days. Two things my hands were not made for; playing the piano and kneading bread dough. The image of Anderson easily mixing all that ground meat popped into my mind as I was struggling with the dough for the Easter bread and nut rolls. Finally, with Mom's help, I got it all done. Everything from the colored eggs, to the Easter cheese and little lamby butter was packed into the Easter basket and blessed. Thankfully, the priest was nice enough to bless it at home since we didn't have anyone this year to haul it to the church for us.

It's a really sad Easter this year since we didn't get any company. I don't know about all of you, but to me it's not a holiday unless you have a house full of relatives. It's extra nice if kids are included. Most of our egg hunts have been indoors since more often than not it's too cold outside, even if we don't have any snow. This year we had sleet, but just a little.

Since I didn't know at the time that no one was coming home, I bought a heap of Easter candy. Every kind imaginable, except for candy corn. Not that I don't like it, I just didn't see it anywhere and I forgot about it. Maybe I'll just hop on over to UPS and ship my nieces an Easter basket. I bought mystery books for Mom so she will have something to read while she munches on her Peppermint Patty, peanut butter cups, marshmallow peeps, clear toy, and coconut bon bons. Remember how they always talk about sitting around and eating bon bons? I think it's sort of like "ladies that do lunch"! So for a day or two we can live like a princess, reading a book and eating bon bons. Surprisingly, I even found rock candy. Mom always talked about rock candy. Now I finally found some. Don't tell, but I already stole a rock or two to try it. Was good!I have to admit I was kind of bummed out that I had to buy my own coconut Easter egg. What's even worse, I had to buy kisses too. The kind wrapped in pastel foil as in Hershey kisses. I bet I had you wondering 'bout that one!

Hope everyone and Anderson has a nice Easter surrounded by all your loved ones.
