Happy Easter!

Now that it's the actual day I'm saying Happy Easter one more time. I had a lovely day. DIL1's parents invited me to their holiday lunch in Shawano which is about 35 miles northwest of Green Bay. And I did not get pulled over for speeding this trip. Whew. We had ham, carrots, green beans, scalloped potatoes, and their family's traditional green jello stuff. It's good. All of it was good. And there was lemon pie for dessert. No one left hungry.

 

There were gifts! LC made the older ladies little vases with bright asters in them. OJ made everyone a clay sculpture. Mine is a tentacle which unfortunately broke at the end when I was bringing it home. *sniff* And they brought the grandmothers each a bar of soap from Colonial Williamsburg. They had lots of tales of their adventures in Virginia. It was fun to hear. Oh, and HZ gave me a nice kitchen towel that I immediately put out so it didn't get in the picture.

 

Before I left for lunch I got out my drawing things and found a Rabbit to draw. This isn't the round, plump bunny in the book but it's not bad for a quick sketch.

 

I was lucky enough to catch a squirrel on the suet nuggets. There must be something wrong with them because they all take one nibble and then drop off and run away. I should go out, dump them, and refill the feeder with fresh nuggets.

 

I had a momentary panic this evening when I was watching television. The picture stopped, the screen went black, and it said "reconnecting." I looked at the router and the blue "everything's okay" light had turned red. I immediately called Spectrum but was told that there was a problem in my neighborhood, not just at my house, and they were working to fix it. It was back on in a couple minutes. That was a relief.
