Happy Easter!

Set my clock for 7:30 am and when it went off, I got up. It was dark but I made myself get up.

Come to find out, our "smart clocks" re-set themselves. So it was only 6:30 am. No wonder I was so tired.

And I didn't know this until I went to wake up my husband and told him it was 11 o'clock. He then told me about the clocks re-setting themselves. D'OH!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to you too, Laura .... and to everyone else. I noticed your post this AM and thought I'd take a look at your pictures. They're beautiful ..... all of them. The one of Maui makes me wish I was there today - weather still pretty bleak here. I'm not sure what to say about your thank you, other than that I'm very glad you found value in my help and feel it has made enough difference in your growing experience you thought it worth mentioning. That type of kindness is always appreciated, so thank you for that ..... very much. DO have a great growing season, too! If you ever have additional questions or there is anything you think I might be able to help you with, I'll put myself at your disposal. Take good care. AL

It has been a dreary chilly day most of the day, but the sun came out for a while, just long enough to dry out the grass and warm things up for our Traditional Egg Hunt. I had my oldest son, his wife and their three boys here with me today and my dear Mother. The oldest grandson, my son & I had fun hiding the dozens of Easter Eggs up in the meadow on the hill and then we "unleashed the hounds" and the two little boys took off like greased lightening! They had a ball hunting for them! The rush was on for the "Golden Eggs". The oldest grandson hid one egg in our collie's collar and the little boys never did find it until Angus shook his head and the egg fell to the ground. Angus found a green egg on the ground and then just stood proudly over it for about 20 minutes. He was so proud he found one like the boys! Lots of smiles all around. Got some great pics of kids, grandkids and dogs. Had a great time together. Hope this finds everyone happy and well this Easter Sunday. Thank you for posting this Sandi. ~Annie ~Annie

That is very cute! I will have to share that with some friends. I hope to be sitting on a horse tomorrow. Saturday will be with family, but I'll be sitting around, so that mean lots of hand applique time :-) I spent last night getting about 5 dear jane blocks ready for the applique parts. Happy Easter!!

People don't realize that soy is genetically modified to withstand a large dose of Round-up, with Monsanto Corp. reaps double-profit from both. Since 91% of soy in this country is genetically modified, our soy is heavily-laden with pesticides. To get NON-genetically-modified soy, companies have to import soy from China, which is contaminated with heavy metals & also heavily sprayed with chemicals. Big Corporations benefit at the expense of consumer's health. A nurse wrote an excellent article to expose the dark side of soy: http://www.truthaboutabs.com/soy-foods-make-you-fat.html "Soy also contains goitrogens - substances that depress thyroid function. Although soy has been known to suppress thyroid function for over 60 years, and although scientists have identified the goitrogenic component of soy as the so-called "beneficial Isoflavones. A very large percentage of soy is genetically modified and it also has one of the highest percentages of contamination by pesticides of any of our foods. Soybeans are high in phytic acid, present in the bran or hulls of all seeds. Phytic acid is a substance that can block the uptake of essential minerals - calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and especially zinc - in the intestinal tract. The soy industry hired Norman Robert Associates, a public relations firm, to get more soy products onto school menus. The USDA responded with a proposal to scrap the 30 per cent limit for soy in school lunches. The 'NuMenu' program would allow unlimited use of soy in student meals. With soy added to hamburgers, tacos and lasagna, dieticians can get the total fat content below 30 per cent of calories, thereby conforming to government dictates. Production takes place in industrial factories where a slurry of soy beans is first mixed with an alkaline solution to remove fiber, then precipitated and separated using an acid wash and, finally, neutralized in an alkaline solution. Acid washing in aluminum tanks leaches high levels of aluminum into the final product. The resultant curds are spray - dried at high temperatures to produce a high-protein powder. A final indignity to the original soybean is high-temperature, high-pressure extrusion processing of soy protein isolate to produce textured vegetable protein (TVP). Nitrites, which are potent carcinogens, are formed during spray-drying, and a toxin called lysinoalanine is formed during alkaline processing. In feeding experiments, the use of SPI (soy protein isolated) increased requirements for vitamins E, K, D and B12 and created deficiency symptoms of calcium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid remaining in these soy products greatly inhibits zinc and iron absorption; test animals fed SPI develop enlarged organs, particularly the pancreas and thyroid gland, and increased deposition of fatty acids in the liver."

Happy Easter!

My day hasn't been going the right direction since 7 this morning. I hope things will move smoothly as my day goes on. Looks like we will have a half decent day here, weather wise, about 5C at the moment and it's sunny out. Probably will take the boys out for a walk or go do something outdoor.

I want to make Easter bread basket but so far it's not a welcome idea to the boys. Went to the store with hubby. I wanted to buy some ham for dinner but he didn't like this and didn't like that. I ended up walking out of the store with nothing but frustration. I really should have said "no" when he offered to come with me. We probably won't have anything special tonight. Oh well, I did try.

Happy Easter everyone!

I was up until 1 a.m. making hot cross buns. They don't exactly look conventional, but sure do taste good!

Heading our shortly to have dinner with friends. The weather is glorious today!

Happy Easter All!

Having a *clink* while I put the finishing touches on our meal. I wimped out on the potatoes, just too much work with everything else going on...... This is what my kitchen looks like as I type:

So if I am cutting a few corners.... I'm sure the family will understand! LOL! Yes, that is DH putting in the new pantry...... could he have timed it better? Probably, but what the heck, I NEED the storage!

Happy Easter everyone!
Didn't get home until 1:00 this morning and then got up at 6:00. Cooking in the new kitchen for a crowd was trying, but dinner was only 20 minutes late and delicious. Absolutely gorgeous day, mid 70's and sunshine. I love having all the family here for the holiday or any other time.

It was a happy Easter here until the mid afternoon earthquake. The weather was otherwise cooperative with temps in the low 70s and sunny. The earthquake lasted a long time, however, and I got a bit sick to my stomach - but then I'm prone to seasickness. With everything swaying around, I got a bit dizzy. I thought my bathroom door would never stop swinging, and the hanging fixtures in the dining room swung for a long time, as did my hanging pots. Kevin was in the garage cleaning our old stove so that we could sell it, and he claimed he didn't feel it even though the bicycles in the garage were still swinging when he went back (after viewing the swinging fixtures). My blinds made the most noise. I think it was felt much more strongly in Yuma and San Diego.

We plan to have Easter dinner tomorrow.

We will be eating leftovers all week..
The weather was wonderful for early April and we walked down to the bay to see if the Bunny left any shells there..:)
Lars, I hope you and those who had the quake are all ok!

Lars, you sure had a more exciting Easter than I did. Mine was pretty quiet, Ashley and Elery both had to work and they each had 12 hour shifts, so here we had Amanda, Dave, the Princess and Bruvver, my Mother and a cousin of Dave's, Tommy. Tommy is 8. The kids hunted eggs, ate too much chocolate and not much dinner, the weather was good, the food was good, it was all pretty normal. And I sent the leftovers home with Amanda!
