HAPPY EASTER!!!!

I missed church. My family went Saturday evening rather than Sunday morning. I wasn’t around Saturday evening. Rob and I went to Swanky Bubbles with his friends to celebrate Steve and Carin’s birthdays (how convenient their birthdays are so close). The restaurant was nice, I enjoyed it. Rob and I got the Bubble Box (two skewers of satay chicken, two dumplings, two spring rolls and fried calamari with interesting dipping sauces), Edamame Gnocchi and Vanilla Gellato. It was an enjoyable evening.

This afternoon I went home and had Easter supper with my family. My mom made ham and roast beef and hrudka and paska and potato salad and cole slaw and beets. After supper Lisa and I brought out a birthday/easter cake for mom. Yes, Easter somehow landed on her birthday this year. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMY!

The rest of the day was spent picking through Violet’s trash. Yes, you read that right. You see, Violet is moving. She had a fall a few months ago and it made her realize it’s time to move into a home. I mentioned to Mom and Lisa that Violet has a ton of stuff on the curb so we rode over and picked through her garbage. Lisa pulled out a box that contained a 40 piece service of Adams Calyx Ware, “Singapore Bird.” I did a google search on it and found a site selling the exact set for $845.00! Can you believe it! Our other finds were rather humdrum in comparison. No matter how old or sick she is, I can’t believe she would just throw this stuff away! She could have called Goodwill or The Salvation Army or Purple Heart and donated it. People amaze me. At least we saved a few things from the dump.

It’s time to go to sleep. I hope all of my lovely readers (all 4 of you) had a lovely Easter and that your baskets overflowed with sweets! Christos Voskrese!
