This Week…Getting Ready

 

We could not ask for better weather this week. Our morning walks started in the high 60s, and by midday we were in the 80s. 

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. 

Desmond Tutu

 

Weather-wise, this is my favorite time of the year. If I could, I’d spend most of the day on the patio listening to the sweet songs of the birds. 

Redemption is possible and it is the measure of a civilized society.

Greg Boyle

 

However, there will be 35 for Easter dinner, so I spent a great deal of time inside preparing for our guests.  The goodie bags for the children are filled and ready. I enjoy seeing the family, and it a chance for me to experiment with new recipes!!!

The first Easter taught us this: that life never ends, and love never dies.

Kate McGahan

 

Wishing you Joy and Hope.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker Thank you!!!  It's fun and I enjoy it. The hardest part is finding enough space in my fridge for everything.

LOL Kathy Streib I hadn't thought about the fridge issue as I don't ever have that many people at my house.

Hi Wayne Martin 2 hams!  I don't prepare everything, though. I enjoy cooking, which makes it easier.

Hi Kat Palmiotti   There will be enough food , that's for sure. Thank goodness someone is bringing deviled eggs. I  love them but don't have time to make them this weekend.

For me March and April are always the best months. It is a bit dryer and and the sun seems to have the perfect intensity.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I agree. Forget about July and August, though.
