Hello there

 Time to put away Easter decorations.  We had a wonderful Easter and hope everyone else did too.





We had ham, turkey breast, dressing, mashed redskins, Mac n cheese, Kale, Italian green beans,
potato salad, corn pudding, deviled eggs, rolls and honey butter basted cooked carrots.
Genevieve loves these carrots, so I fix them for her

I made for dessert a blueberry gelatin salad with grape Jello, crushed pineapple and canned blue berries.
The topping is cream cheese with sour cream whipped with sugar to sweeten then spread on top. brownies and tiny strawberry cupcakes from Publix

Girls' Easter baskets on steps so they would see them as soon as they come in back door.
I will be making them baskets for as long as I can.
11 and 13, where did the time go?




Sunday was so pretty and sunny, we spent most of our time out of doors. 




Looking forward to all of my strawberries this season. I have them growing in pots, planters and in ground.

Before I go, these crispy dillies really are good on potato salad and Mac n cheese.

I appreciate it. I am following your blog now and look forward to more posts. I will probably stay with it a while as my husband said, he likes seeing it too. Have a beautiful day. It's windy and lovely here in Va. and I am trying to keep mesh down on my strawberries as I want to be the only critter that eats them.
