I am really sad....sad that we will not be gathering together
for our traditional Easter dinner this year....
who would have ever thought we would be dealing with this Pandemic
when we were celebrating the beginning of 2020?
But, we will be grateful that the two of us can make
it special and pretty....fresh flowers are going to be a splurge....
and I plan to watch Easter Church Service on line....
The days are becoming our new normal but a bit long....
these are small things that provide comfort.......
This is the beautiful day that the Lord has made......

Everything is a beautiful Spring green....
and I am hearing the sound of the lawn mowers....
I will always love that sound.....
somehow it's comforting...
like Summer days when you were a kid.....
I know a de-stressor for Luke the Duke and Miss M
is taking a break from on-line tests and taking
walks in the woods......
And yes....there have been a few meltdowns regarding
online tests.....

This is our current puzzle....
I hear that many people are discovering the fun of
jigsaw puzzles.....
These times have put people back in their kitchens
and creating some marvelous foods....
I have loved seeing this....so let's talk about it......

Oh, yes indeed....we always have a box of chocolates on hand.....
Simple comfort foods....
such as hot oatmeal with bananas and cinnamon-sugar
We have been loving soups for lunch...
I made a gorgeous and yummy pot of Cabbage Roll Soup..
I could eat this everyday.....and probably will for the next week.....
A mid-afternoon treat often calls for a Vanilla Latte.....
Buccatini with Italian Sausage, Mushrooms and Basil
Do you think we will all look back at this time and
think it was our story of heartbreaking loss, redemption and restoration?
We all will surely have a story to tell. Your story is a lovely one in spite of the stresses. Luke’s note to his mom delighted me. He knows how to communicate and he knows how to spell “allowed.” 😊
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, thanks for sharing your heart and home and your delicious foods!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, this post made me smile! Loved the thoughts on hearing the lawn mower and how it reminded you of your childhood.
Blessngs, Roxy
I am not Jewish. but I've had many friends of that faith. and the thought has crossed my mind in these days... that those who survived that horrible World War II and had families in the death camps who often didn't...
ReplyDeletethey managed to live through it all. and they came to America and made movies that we love! and they made us laugh! to this day their DNA is in people like Carl Reiner and Mel Blanc and so many others too numerous to name... they can still make us laugh.
this too shall pass. and the world may just be a better place because of it! I hope so. I hope it helps us find our humanity in kindness. and love. for all people everywhere. and our small beautiful planet.
and I loved your videos. but then I always DO! xoxo and little Luke's note is priceless!!! LOL!
