An unfamiliar task
I know how to do this task, it’s just been a long time since I’ve done it. The task is to prepare Easter dinner. When the kids were small, it was a problem just getting them to eat something after having gorged on their Easter treats all day. It didn’t matter what I fixed. They didn’t want to eat it. My husband and I were hungry, and being parents, we knew we needed to get some real food into them that day.
Those days are gone and tomorrow we are expected our granddaughter, who lives nearby, and A FRIEND for dinner. I want to make it a good meal for all of us.
By the time I bought a ham, there were no little pieces in sight - except for ham slices. Does the butcher do that on purpose? He knows I’ll buy a 10-pound ham to feed four people because it’s the best looking piece of ham left. Butchers can be very clever at selling their meats.
Then there’s the potato salad. I chose that, not only because it goes well with ham, but also because my husband will sometimes take that task over and make it himself. It can also be made the day before and be better for it.
I’ve been making lists of what needs to be done. This blog isn’t on it. So, it’s time to quit writing and become grandmotherly and housewifey.

I hope that the cooking and the meal went well. I think ham and potato salad is a good choice - not too complicated but nice to eat. I always stress out about things like that because, for some reason, roast meals always seem to go wrong when I cook them!
Happy Easter,

I love your new header.
Have a great Easter with your family.
I like the new header too. He hangs outside my kitchen window. The tree is a loquat.

Happy Easter!
Your little garden friend reminds me of a Woosi story… I must remember the details so I can tell it. I thought she must have given you the one she had! (but no, hers was a little different).
We painted Easter eggs tonight and the baskets of chocolate and toys are out waiting for the happy kids to wake up. This year the Easter Bunny brought them kites.
I think that will work out great.
Love, Cinders
I like the new look, too. Good luck with your Easter dinner. I’m sure everything will taste wonderful.
What a nicely designed website. I love your content too. Thanks for stopping by and commenting at “Retired and Restless.” I am adding your site to my “Blogs Worth Reading” list. Keep up the great work!
