Easter Leftovers

COW POOP

I should rename the site "Wet & Soggy Acres!"  It is pouring rain and our little stream (almost dry in the summer) is raging!  It's relaxing to hear the water and to watch it.  However, the lawn is so muddy it will be quite a while before we can even think about mowing!

I'm back home after being gone for over a week.  Thanks to all who kept in touch and sent pictures.  Below you can see a bit of what the kinfolk did on Easter Sunday.

Looking Pretty in Pink

Zoe and Kiera

Jim is working in California and not home for Easter Sunday.  However, Cathy fixed a traditional dinner for Tom, Kate (with Zoe) and Alyssa (with Kiera).  Tom's dog also came to keep "Missy" company.

Tom enjoys coffee and company after dinner.

 Carol has to put us all to shame by baking 60 sour cream sugar cookies and decorating them like a pro!

 Maybe I should put in my order for next year---send by next day post, please!

Lacey usually spends the holidays with Nancy and Barry----she and Nancy love to create a festive atmosphere, be it Christmas or Flag Day!  This is their brunch (not sure if it was the day before Easter or the day of).
Their church is huge and does a very professional drama production every Easter season, with five performances.  Nancy said it was the best ever this year.
After Sunday service, they went to Seneca Harbor Station in Watkins Glen for dinner (a tradition the past few years).  The food all looks delish (foodie Lacey gave me the info).

Now this just has to make your mouth water.  And Barry's fashion statement----gotta love that!

Nancy's first course of soup and salad also looks great.

 Lacey and Nancy shared raspberry bongo for dessert---again it looks yummy!

HOWEVER, there is one picture where the food gives me an upset stomach just looking at it!  To be fair, this is a very nice place:  see link below:

But this ham dinner, which Lacey and Nancy shared, makes me want to be a vegetarian.  I thought it must be watermelon at first, as it is so red!  Fill me in, Lacey.  Was it really good?  Looks like enough meat for a football team!

 Okay, enough from this food critic!

Easter was my last day spent with Andrew and, as always, we had lots of fun playing together.


Royal Wedding Fever

Our tour bus (in 2005) drove by Westminster Abbey.  I wish, now, that we had had more time to spend in London sightseeing.  Still, it was great, and I would not have missed the beautiful countryside of Derbyshire for anything!

Looking closely at this photo, I do believe I had the royal WAVE down pat!!!!!

Next update in a few days.
