Hope You Had a Happy Easter!

Even though it's almost over, I wanted to come on here and wish everyone a happy Easter. It was a beautiful day today...a little chilly with the high only in the 40s, but there was plenty of sunshine to warm things up. The house still smells like our Easter dinner of honey-glazed ham, mashed potatoes and ham gravy, carrots, and candied sweet potatoes. I'm sure that's driving Abby crazy! She got her little bites here and there of ham and some carrots, so she should be one happy camper. Mom and Jackie each took a little bit of ham home for sandwiches, and we still have plenty leftover. We'll be eating ham for the next week. I went through some of my old Quick Cooking magazines and found a few recipes to help use it up that I'm excited to try. One is a ham, egg, and cheese quiche with a hash brown crust. I'll have to let you know how that turns out. Paul is also planning on making up some of his favorite sandwiches, the Monte Cristo. I'm looking forward to that too.

Here are a couple of pictures. One is what was our centerpiece on the table. Then of course, there's a picture of you-know-who.

I painted this bunny years ago.
She's filled with the last of our malted-milk eggs.
(I've had about enough of those this year.)
I only colored six eggs. I boiled a dozen and used 6 to make some deviled eggs.
I got out some food coloring and colored the other 6, trying to match the colors of the bunny.

Jackie brought us this beautiful hyacinth that fit right into our centerpiece.

Can you tell this next little girl just wants some ham?
Can you believe she's going to be 5 in a couple of weeks.
Look at the gray starting to form around her muzzle.
She needs a haircut.

I hope the Easter bunny was good to everyone this year and you all had as nice of a day as we did.

I'm going to go hit the sack. It's going to be a long week for me. The boss is on vacation, which means I'm the boss. Uh-oh. They better watch out.
