Easter Table

 Here my table decorated for Easter. The cloth is a jelly bean pattern piece of fabric from when I sold Longaberger Baskets, The two crochet pieces are from my husband's mom and aunt. I got those adorable chick and bunny salt & pepper shakers at Target.

I also love using my Lu-Ray china at Easter.

Ham is in the oven, potatoes in the oven, we'll eat in about an hour.

Then I'll watch The Ten Commandments like I do every Easter. I love the old special effects! Plus, I have it on DVD so I can watch it when ever I want. :)

Easter

Happy Easter to all my bloggin' friends! We didn't color any eggs yesterday. I totally forgot and it's just me and the hubby. Today we will have Ham, my husband's awesome scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole (for me), corn (for hubby), and maybe some wine. I'll post a pic of my Easter table later.

In the meantime, here is a photo of me, about 7, with my first pair of bell bottoms from the Easter Bunny. lolol! I wish I had those bells. I do still have the Easter egg I am holding. It has a handle you wind and it play a tune.

Week-end

Yesterday we went to Red Lobster for Daddy's b-day celebration. Early, as b-day is not until Friday. I should say husband so you don't get confused. Anyway, tonight is Poppyseed Chicken.

Grocery had an amazing sale today. 110 bucks worth of groceries for 80. Buy 1 getone free, buy 2 get 6free. Yep, no kidding.

Ahhhh, tomorrow off and then Wednesday, work at home as they coming to replace the floor in the bathroom.

Ugh

Took Chloe to the vet. $300.00+ dollars later. *sigh* But the tests are necessary since she has Epilepsy. On top of the $191.00 two weeks ago for her normal shots and nail trim. We are officially BROKE.

But we did go to the grocery anyway and played mini-putt. Now our bellies are full with tater tots and sloppy joes.

I got most of the green peppers cut and frozen. I parboiled the tomatoes, peeled them and will chop them tomorrow. Then into the freezer. After that the beans.

Off to peruse my new Seasons of the Witch Calender!

Went to the Round Rock Express game, pretty much just for the Nolan Ryan statue give away. Wandered around, decided it could still rain (thank you Hurricane Dolly as we need it) and headed off to our favorite Mexican restaurant in town.

Hit the mother load at the Farmers Market Tuesday. Taters, maters, japanese green beans, onions, peppers and oatmeal bread. Also, found a group in Round Rock for fresh dairy from a farm about an 1 1/2 away. My blogger buddy Heather gets her goodies from there. I can't wait to get all signed up!

So. tonight I am going to the Womens Pagan group tonight. The woman who I met at the Unitarian Church and holds the meetings in her home is a delight to talk to. I am looking forward to it. A little nervous about it, but excited none the less.

I am asking a favor to you all who can interpret dreams. I had a doozie last night. Please let me know and I will e-mail you privately.

I went to our Farmer's Market on Tuesday and came back with some great goodies. A huga bag of carrots, fresh eggs, 2 vegan brownies, some great red potatoes, and Wild Mustang Grape jelly. This week I hope to get some meat. I was a little late in getting there so I missed some good stuff.

The newsletter I receive about our Farmers Mkt said even with the rain last week, 300 cars came through! YAY! If I can't find what I want I am trying to make a conscious effort to buy Texas made products at the grocery or co-op, and if I can't find that them I am buying organic. It is much more expensive, but the more we try maybe eventually, the prices will come down.

Our food bank newletter has an interesting link. The new VP (I think) is trying to eat on the weekly food stamp amout provided to those in need. $21 dollars a week!!!! He has been blogging about it. I think it is pitiful that our nation, one of the wealthiest, cannot provide more.

So today I did a banishing ritual found on my friend Sacred Suzie's blog. It feels good to have completed this. And it was so simple.

So my parents left Friday morning. We had so much fun. Too much Riesling wednesday night when we cooked out. lol! Pork chops, chicken, german potatoes, and mom's "homemade" coleslaw, and bolillos.

Thursday we went to lady Bird Johnson's Wildflower Center. Beautiful. If you are ever in the area, it is a must see. Plus, a great lunch! lol! Hibiscus Mint Tea and Chicken Salad on herbed focaccia bread. YUM.

Pizza for dinner that night and then they went back to their fifth wheel for a good nights sleep. Hopefully. We had a bad storm and they left late (9 am) and headed off for their first destination, Little Rock. They should be home by tomorrow.
