It has been quite some time since I have posted on this blog, and I am not exactly sure what has kept me away. But with recent good news about my son-in-law Andy, and this good weather (except for the recent snow storm) I have felt renewed. So here are some not so profound, yet lovely events of the past few weeks.
Our eldest granddaughter, Morgan, had her pencil drawing at the State Capitol rotunda as a part of student art. Her drawing was selected from Tomah's middle school students. We are so proud of her...this 'growing up too fast' young woman.
Nonnie Day was last Tuesday for Iris and Elsa. The weather was beautiful, and we were able to spend much time outdoors. Snack time at the picnic table was not just for Iris and Elsa, but
as you can see, for their horses as well. After this, we took them for a walk on Jug Creek Road. They each cradled their horses lovingly and gently in their arms, and I found this almost unbearably sweet.
Most years I make a large variety of Easter Breads from around the world. Somehow Easter crept up on me, and when I realized it was only a few days away, I scrambled to make three....
...an Italian loaf called Gabana, rolled and stuffed with lots of goodies...
...one of my old stand byes the Italian Easter Dove...
...and of course, Hot Cross buns...
So, as my friend Janet/Mark had just returned from a month long vacation in Mexico I thought we'd get together to hear about the trip.
Table laden with lots of goodies.
Geri/Steve and her dad Ken joined us.
and Mark and Janet, of course.
We had a wonderful time laughing and talking, and drinking wine, of course.
