Happy Easter

 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?
