On The Eve of Easter

This is what I've been doing on the eve of Easter Sunday. I baked a chocolate sheet cake with vanilla frosting, walnuts and coconut spread on the top. I had to cut a few pieces and tasted it. It was so good, my son liked it pretty much as well. Easter egg coloring time. A tradition I held since I was a little girl. Never missed a year coloring eggs. My little niece us usually my little helper, but she had other plan with her friends. so I was alone to do this job. Don't worry-it wasn't hard, I enjoy doing this every year.

When the eggs are all colored and done, I usually put together an Easter basket for everyone in my family. I add little knick knack things like small minature Easter snicker candy and a few other treats.

Aren't these eggs colorful. The pink one is my favorite.

I wanted to throw this picture in. She's my little niece puppy. Her name is Princess. Boy oh boy, she looks innocent in this picture, but she is a handful and very tricky. But she is sweet.

My other tradition that I do on the Easter holiday is watch the, "The Ten Commandments," which comes on every year for Easter. I'm watching it while I color the eggs. I'm having fun. Have a great Easter and Spring break everybody. Enjoy the wonderful nature that God has blessed us with especially the wonderful colorful flowers that adorns our planet with it's beauty.

Peace & Love Everybody.

Whats For Dinner? and A Special Surprise!

What's for dinner at your house today? I've decided to fry chicken, fresh cooked broccoli with rice, and of course for dessert, Lemon Cake. Yum, yum. I hadn't had fry chicken for so long, I just had to cook some. Because I starved myself from it for a while, I was greedy and got seconds.

I cooked the broccoli in salt water and added a tsp. of butter. Cooked it to where it was still crunchy. OMG it was delicious. Then the best part I had for dinner was my dessert. It was o.k., but it could have been better (lemon cake). I have to keep working on this cake, so that it would come out better each time. But I heard no complaints from my son, so it must have been good.

Now for my "special surprise."
Looky, looky ya'll. I recieved a fun, exciting and delicious package in the mail recently and it was a treat for me. My good friend L from A Dozen Eggs sent me this wonderful gift. It was a lot of different shapes and colors of sugar cookies. OMG it was sooooo good. I did manage to share some with my son, brother, and niece. I could actually be a hog about it. Thank you, thank you so much L. It really brought a smile to my face as I have been going through and dealing with some challenging things in my life. You don't know how MUCH that meant to me. You are a such a good friend. I really appreciate this thoughtful gift. Oh BTW, I love those chocolate sugar cookies. They taste really good. Thank you sweet L.

To all my blog land friends thanks so much for your support and care. I know I haven't met any of you, but I send out my love to you all. You all are a great group of gals. L, Fawn, Jill, Aubrey, my sis J-everybody who has touched my life in a blessed and caring way. Thank you all.

Life is...

Life is full of adventures. Life can be fun, sad, silly, dramatic, and it can be the best of what you make it. Life is freedom to make decisions that will benefit ourselves and others around us. O.K. Reflect on that for a few minutes. Life is care free to me. It is living in the moment and enjoying everyday of it. What is life to you all? Until later, Peace & Love
