Good Monday Morning Loves....
I sure hope all is well in your corner of the world this morning!
I am so looking forward to visiting my favorite blogs today
and reading about your Easter weekend!
Ours was peaceful, the weather was pretty good,
and we missed our normal family gathering.
It just becomes a bit harder as we grow older
and the children are scattered in different cities and states!
Here are a few snippets from Atlanta and Texas......

This is a few years ago when Luke was younger
and delighted in the Easter Egg hunt....just so precious.....

Miss M did dye Easter eggs this year with her Luke the Duke,
but discovered it was a bit more fun when he was younger...
you know how teens can sometimes be a bit challenging.....

She did set a beautiful table in the dining room
which was going to feature a baked ham,
Elinor's Mac N' Cheese, Brussels Sprouts and Red Velvet Cupcakes!

Most of the day, here in Texas was overcast, cloudy and cool,
but later in the afternoon, the sun came out and we
enjoyed sitting by the pool and listening to nature....

a patient gave this to him when we lived
in Vicksburg for the care he gave a family member.....

Gathering does get challenging when our kids are grown! We had four of our six here this year, and I was thankful. We ate ham, potato salad, baked beans, deviled eggs, rolls, lemon cupcakes, and key lime pie! It was good.
ReplyDeleteYou always set a beautiful table and I'm glad to see you do it just for the two of you as well. So important, I think.
Deanna...you are so lovely....your Easter gathering sounds wonderful....so glad to hear about it!
DeleteYou're taking a break? Well good for you. Perhaps this means some travel for you. I enjoyed seeing the Easter tables, Had to laugh over how much more fun youngsters are when little. Teenage years are filled with "too cool for school" attitudes for sure. My Easter table was empty; however, I did join my daughter at a local restaurant for a steak dinner. That was fun. Enjoy your time off!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that you were able to be with your daughter Vee...sending hugs your way!
ReplyDeleteMy 14 year old grandson is "too cool for school" too! Our menu was pretty much just like Deanna's, but we have a Polish tradition of having fresh kielbasa for every holiday. Dottie, our 18 month old, ate 6 pieces! We had great weather so were able to chase her all over the yard. And then yesterday, we had 2 inches of snow! I love your divided vegetable dish. What a wonderful memory. Have a fun time on your break. See you in May.
ReplyDeleteEllen, that all sounds wonderful and a very happy and blessed Easter Day! Love that you shared with us! Hoping warmer weather visits you soone! Warm hugs💗
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And that's one delicious looking plate of food there. I can almost taste it! Hubby and I didn't have an Easter dinner this year as I've been fighting a UTI...and it's been winning. Ha! I enjoyed this post so much especially seeing those lovely vintage dishes. So very special and a real treasure to you I'm sure. Thanks for this and all your wonderful posts!
ReplyDeleteDear Tobe...I am so sorry to hear you have been under the weather....there is probably nothing worse than a UTI, i si hope you can get some relief....wishing you healthier days ahead...thank you for visiting today!
DeleteEverything is lovely! I thought the weather turned out nice and we all sat outside visiting in the late afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all your beautiful things - and your daughter's too!
Thank you Linda...I am looking forward to reading about your Easter Sunday...I know you made it special for your beautiful family! Warm hugs!
DeleteSo sweet! So warm! I love visiting you and seeing all of your pretties! And good food too!
ReplyDeleteWe were alone this yr which put me into a bit of a funk. I have such wonderful memories of Easters with my lil boys growing up…little bittersweet. Love having them with us but happy that they’re making memories with their own children too!
