~ Fabulous Day ~

Easter12008.jpg picture by 55hockeyfan


And now it's over.   We all got to my sisters about 11 and it wasn't long before the food was displayed and we ate.  Egg dishes, polish sausage, coffee cake, fruit salad, baked ham, cinnamon raisin strata it seemed like the choices were endless.  I will tell you they were delicious!!  Family gathered with stories and laughs.   The kids enjoyed their treats a great deal.

The day was relaxing and fun.  We spent hours and hours over the coffee table in the living room putting a puzzle together.  On more then one occasion I had to walk away as my head began to hurt.  My eyes were blurred.  It wasn't done when I left but there isn't much left to do.  If I can get there when it's finished and before it comes down I will snap a shot.  LOL  It was a bit intense.

 

We never got the snow they called for.  It was chilly but the sky was blue and the sun was out.  YEAH!  I am hoping this means we are done.  Could it be?  For real?  I'm hoping tomorrow is just as nice.  I will be taking the day off.  Work gives us a day off for our birthday and I decided to use mine a couple days early to make a long weekend.   My car needs to be inspected and I will make the jaunt to do so.  I have plans of taking my camera and seeing if I can get some shots.  We'll see.  Oh Lisa, as I was leaving the  house this morning my neighbor handed me my mail.  Thank you so very much for the birthday card.  You are a gem and I love ya!!

 

I do hope everyone had a grand day however you spent it.

 

Hugs

Loved your adorable pictures, Donna. Fabulous indeed. And your hair looks positively divine - really suits you to a "T". Hope the weather holds up for you. We had a mixed bag of rain and clouds, with some sunshine poking through, but now there are a few snowflakes falling around. Hope they'll be gone by morning . . .
Always, Rose~*

Sounds like you had a wonderful time w/ your family Donna. I had all my family here at my home on both mine & my husbands side. I was busy all day cooking & cleaning & entertaining. It was quit a nice Easter for us too. It was 75 degrees, so it was a beautiful day.
