Here is the love of my life with her chocolate box. We have been trading this box back and forth each year since 1974 or 1975, No matter which this is at least a 40 year tradition.
The next event was the birthday. I really enjoy getting her things.
She cleaned on the backyard and then
She cleaned on it some more.
Still lots to do. I think that in May, I will muck out the pond and get the fountain going.
Easter arrived and Justin and Colleen came down to celebrate with us.
Everyone got dressed up for church and off we went.
David and Mason joined us at church. Mason slept through the service but it did make the time pass quickly. Mom thought that the 11:30 would be the best choice as Father would be tired. No such luck. Those guys really pull out all the stops for Easter.
After Mass we came home for an Easter egg hunt.
Followed by a buffet type lunch with Ham, Salami, Turkey etc. All from the excellent deli at HyVee.
I chose to cook up a couple of slabs of ribs.
These really came out very nice. Meaty, juicy, just right.
The dog was very, very, very interested in what I was cooking. It took about an hour and a half but his interest did not flag.
I made him some dog food with leftover gravy and some bones on top and that seemed to do the trick.
David was also interested in the supine position after consummation of mass quantities of food.
All in all a very good day was had by all. The weather was beautiful, High 60's and a nice breeze with abundant sunshine.
