Easter Day

Joe assisting with the Ham

For years, in an unbroken chain, every Easter has brought new life and hopefulness and the generosity of a brother-in-law and sister of HM, who host a celebratory Easter dinner for extended family.

This year was no different (as always, those who could not attend were sadly missed, and the recent members of the family bring joy and entertainment).

This year the weather was a Perfect Ten, to boot!
The garage doors could be wide open! The  after-dinner visiting was in the open air!


The ham and all the extras*, the loved ones gathered around the laden tables, the after-dinner Easter basket fun, all of it delightful, Reader Dear!

Let the Sugar Buzz begin!

*The Easter dinner ham and mashed potatoes, gravy and rolls and drinks (and more), the preparation of eating area, the table-setting, the food preparation, food serving and monumental clean-up, the Easter food leftover gifting...for all of this and more, a monumental Easter thank-you is due to Beth and Rob**

**Thank you (monumentally!) dear Rob and Beth!
