Have a Wonderful and Blessed Easter everyone.

Hoppy Easter everyone.

I'm proud of myself - I didn't buy any marshmallow chicks this year (yet). My bestie and I used to look forward to the yellow chicks every year. We had to let them get just a tad stale so they were a little hard on the outside and soft inside. Oh, great, now I want to run out tomorrow and buy marked down marshmallow chicks!

Happy Easter! Our church was full and it was great hearing so many singing the Easter hymns!

Hoppy Easter!

For those of you wanting marshmallow bunnies, here you go! (I always like to let them get crunchy too!)


My cat Mitzie brought home a baby bunny on Easter morning, 2 years in a row! The first one (I was living at my dad's then), my dad woke me up and said my grandma was chasing a baby bunny around the house with a broom and I better get up and rescue it! I found it behind the couch. I released it outside in some bushes. I was old enough to be on it's own already. The next Easter, Mitzy caught another one but this one was really young, (altho it's eyes were open and ears were up so it was probably ready to be on it's own). I put it in a safe place hoping it's mom would find it and bring it back to the nest. I had no idea where Mitzy found it. There was a lot of woods across the street from us. Luckily, Mitzy didn't hurt either one of them physically, but I am sure they were terrified! She never brought any others home besides those two and only on Easter morning!

This morning there was a little Easter egg hunt out in the green space behind my house for someone's grandson. It was fun to watch. He was so "eggcited"!

Will be watching the final round of the Masters today that starts at 11am. Hopefully, they will have better weather today.

Have a good day and eat lots of food!

Happy Easter everyone. I loved those chicks way back but luckily have no craving for them anymore.

I tried to go on the shortest hike with Ty this morning. But I forgot my walking stick and while it's the easiest hike outside the gardens, it had rocky portions that make me nervous these days. So after I allowed myself to be worried too much we turned around. I think I'm going to even purchase a 2nd hiking stick. I like the one I have and the difference using it makes is great but I think I'd have even more confidence with 2.

I have laundry in and when I get this load in the dryer I'm going to walk my garbage down and Ty and I will stop at the bird blind for a bit. I love having everything to myself on Sundays here.

I posted in the thread on donations that I have received every donation abs just want to make sure everyone knows and how appreciative I am. Later today I'll be spending time depositing each check received with my phone.

This morning I was looking in the bookcase where I have most of my cook books and saw a book I don't remember buying. It "Wild about Texas"put out by the Junior Legue of The Woodlands. I have been looking for a recipe for the potatoes we had at the Cattleman's Banquet. It was mashed potatoes with sour cream, cream cheese, butter, cheddar cheese and bacon bits. There is a recipe in the book that sounds like that so I tried to make half the recipe. Then I spent 2 hours reading cook books. Finally decided no one was going to cook me dinner so took some roast out of the freezer, heated a can of green beans and heated some cooked carrots I made yesterday.

When I was at Walmart the other day I realized that it was almost Easter and I hadn't bought my Easter candy. I love the Robin Eggs. I went up and down the candy aisle twice before I finally found a box on the bottom that only had a few bags left. I'm glad they only have them once a year.

Happy Easter!

I offered to make scalloped potatoes. Went to set up the food processor for slicing potatoes and grating cheese. Realized I had packed the accessories - fortunately, it was one of the last containers packed. My kitchen is now a mess!

We bought a piece of property to build a house on - not quite an acre - covered with alder trees. Neighbor man about had a heart attack because I was operating a small chainsaw! Steven taught me well and no incidents. I think I must have driven the guy nuts because I also helped with the roofing. Cloudy day here. Sorry to say I totally forgot about Easter candy - usually have at least jelly beans! Guess Safeway is open so maybe I should stop on the way to the kids'. I sure miss the little ones at Easter and the big family dinners. Time marches on.

Happy Easter all, It doesn't seem like Easter probably because I didn't go to church. I especially miss the Easter music. I can still remember all the words to all the verses in many of the songs in the Broadman Hymnal. Growing up my daddy was a deacon and my mother played the piano at church so we were there at least 3 nights a week.
Anita I had to laugh at needing your food processor to slice potatoes. I don't have one but never thought of using anything but a paring knife. I'm so old fashioned.
I was never a fan of the yellow chicks, my favorite Easter candy were the Jordan almonds.
Martha that is a funny picture of Sugar not wanting to leave his friends maybe you need to get her a playmate.

One of my best memories from childhood is Easter when my parents used to make small Easter baskets for all my younger cousins--and there were a lot of them! My brother and I would get big Easter baskets, but the ones for my cousins each had a chocolate bunny and some smaller candies. Three of my cousins, and the ones closest in age to us, lived across the street. I was the oldest and there was a girl cousin a year younger, her brother a year younger than her, then my brother, then another boy cousin a year younger. And they were wild, so they used to come running across the street to visit once they had opened up their Easter baskets from their parents. And of course, we would get visits from the two cousins half a block away, one cousin a few doors past those cousins, and two even younger cousins next door. Basically, it was a wild time! Later in the day, other cousins would come to visit. Mostly, between me born in 1943, there were at least a dozen born in the baby boom before 1950!

I think kids like mine who grew up with hardly any cousins living nearby are really missing a lot! Not much I could do about it because my ex-husband was an only child and for the next generation, everyone lives too far apart.

Took some Nyquil and got a good night's sleep last night. I really like the gel caps that are individually packaged because they travel a lot better than bottles of liquid, but I need to put them on my grocery list. Going to be at Zion in a couple of days, so need to stock up on stuff tomorrow at the Walmart in Page. Don't need a lot, but I don't want to have to pay local store prices in Springdale.

Happy Easter everyone. Glad I did some yardwork yesterday because today we have??? you guessed it cloudy with rain. Supposedly NEXT Sunday going to be 70. Well alot can happen before then. So I did a couple chores this morning and have been camped out in my recliner for most of the day. I am okay with that. Sipping on a Hazelnut Mocha. I dont have any Easter candy either but that is a good thing. I never did like most of the candy anyway and not the Peeps for sure. I like quality chocolate candies if I am going to indulge in those calories I want it to be worth it LOL I bought some sugar free cookies to have with my Mochas in the afternoon. Not bad. I bought the zero sugar fudge brownie chocolate chip cookies. I am trying to watch carbs and sugar so these will work a couple times a week. I like the McVitties dark chocolate cookies too but they have double the carbs and 5g of sugar but it takes me back to my Canadian roots. I used to have them alot at my Grandmas place

Martha I never wanted to leave my friends either, so I feel Sugar's pain LOL I better have some better weather soon so I can get out in my yard or I am going to go stir crazy. Either that or start painting my bathroom. Or take a road trip LOL so many choices. Will wait for my new car before I take a road trip and not go too far.

Time marches on? It does indeed, whether we wish it or not.

I, too, very much miss the Easters (and other holidays) of times gone by. The chocolate bunnies, the foil-wrapped chocolate eggs, the decorated chocolate buttercream eggs. The Easter egg hunts, the excitement, the unbridled joy on expectant young faces.

I do so miss being with my people, but they all now have just as busy lives that I had when they were small.

Bought a nice rib roast when it was on sale back just before Christmas, then realized I would not be using it for the holiday, so popped it in the freezer.

Although it will take some effort for Joe and I to plow our way through even a smallish rib roast, I'm thinking that we both are up to the task. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it!!!

In any case, although I thought about saving it for a bit longer, "just in case", it is about at the end of it's freezer life, so although it is still thawing out, I will pop it in the oven in an hour or so.

Will be yummy!

For those of you who will be spending time with family or friends, give each and every one of them a special hug from me.

Thank you.

Back home from family dinner. Was great as usual but now it’s also lots of in laws and members of a blended family . All nice people, everyone laughing enjoying the company but I am older, it’s noisy and I miss when it was a smaller gathering. I’m sure they are all glad when the old bitty goes home. Don’t know when I got so old that people watch what they say around old timers. It’s ok I was ready to come home before dark and with my Sam’s coconut cake. Bless #1s little puddin heart. Glad to get out of dressy clothes too. It really was another great holiday. Martha, Sugar is hilariously. We all hated to leave gtg too. She is one of us. I’m chanting “you don’t need a second piece of cake” lol
