Easter Weekend

Flying solo this holiday weekend... if you don't count the household critters. Carol joined her sisters for a trip north to spend the weekend with their mother. Ian had work to do and couldn't make it home so I went about my business in my usual random fashion. First of all the weather has been spectatular for the first weekend in April. I'm almost ready to let my guard down that we won't see anymore snow this season. I'll leave the snow removal equipment out and ready at least until I bring the camper home from storage two weeks from now. Yesterday was so nice I put up a stormdoor on the back door of the house. I've had it in it's carton taking up space in the garage since last fall when I bought it and another one which I had then installed on our breezeway doorway. As projects that I do go this one went smoothly enough. The evening's movies were "Silent Running" (1971) on Friday night and Saturday was "Johnny Mnemonic" (1997). Not everybody's cup of tea so watching them by myself worked out pretty good and I liked both flicks.

Easter morning I loaded Patches into the car and off we went to my mother's for Easter dinner, first though I stopped at my sister Kathy's to check out some computer problems she was having then we continued to Mom's were Kathy and her family joined us and my brother David's family were already there. Again the terrific weather was a big plus as we spent most of our time on the deck. Nephew Danny and niece Lindsey's fiancee, Joe kept Patches busy chasing his ball, almost wore him out. Mom made a terrific ham dinner and of course the grand finale... the Bunny Cake

Another masterpiece.
