Easter

Part two is being interrupted with this much important holiday post... 

Easter has come and almost gone. Last night, after the parents went back for bed, I assembled the Easter "baskets" for the family. I felt it important to still do, though there wasn't much of Easter going on. My brother and my sister were not coming, and my dad is on call for work so he needed to be close to home. We started the day with yard work, then my dad and I did a walk. I baked macaroons with the extra grass from the gingerbread Spring house (which is, really, coconut dyed green), and some more Easter bread. 

For dinner, I made the parent au gratin potatoes and bbq'ed a ham steak. My dad had planned on doing the ham, but he had to go into work. Being on call usually just requires him to call his crew to get them on a job that needs their assistance. Usually he finds someone, but people either weren't answering or answered and had already been drinking. He finally found one guy, but wasn't confident in him going at it alone so my dad went in to help. So I took care of the dinner for them. 

I also got an opossum out of our garage. Score one for me. 

Pictures from the day and part two will come about.
