I hope you all had a good Easter. I certainly did. The traditional church service (I did not make it to the sunrise service) with magnificent music and an excellent sermon. Then the family came to my place for a casual Easter lunch. At least that's what I had planned. Someone was going to bring a relish tray, someone else the chips and dip, and another couple would bring the dessert. I had ham with bread in case anyone wanted to make sandwiches, which they did, and baked beans and deviled eggs of course. A not lavish, but adequate holiday lunch. But everyone surprised me with extras. The relish tray became a relish tray, a cheese and crackers tray, and a shrimp platter. The chips and dip were augmented with potato salad, three kinds of dip, including really yummy avocado dip and a second bag of chips. My grandson had told me he would bring a cake (a rum chocolate chip cake, yummy) which he did and his girlfriend surprised us with a huge bowl of excellent pasta salad. There were only seven of us around the table but we ate extremely well. All in all, it was a great afternoon with excellent food, most of which I didn't have to cook, lots of laughs and silly games. Jumping Monkeys anyone?
