Easter In The Country

We have had such a fun day!  Here's how we celebrate Easter in the country...

Hey, I am no decorator, but this is my attempt to put together a quick centerpiece.  My mom gave me those little egg candles-they are so cute!

After a huge dinner, it was time to hide the eggs.  Let me just tell ya, there is no age limit on the egg hunt.

I'm not sure how we ended up with a pink bow on this basket, but hey, he doesn't seem to mind.

Uh oh...the little boy spots one that's out of reach.

Not for long....help is on the way.

Priceless.

And look who showed up...

What's an Easter Egg Hunt, without the Easter Bunny??

Me and the boys.

Remember, there is no age limit on the hunters.

My mom gets in on the action, too.

So does Wranglers.

Me too!

Time for my mom to head out. 

Little man never, ever wants her to leave.

Hope you all have had a great day!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail-The Real Deal

I love bunnies.  And, living in the country, you would think we would have lots of them hanging around.

But, we have dogs.  Three of them.

And we have coyotes.  Lots of them.

And then there is the master hunter and stalker Hootie. 

Yesterday, however, we had an unexpected visitor.

                           
We have big plans for Easter.  The whole family loves to come out to our place for the egg hunt, and most important...the food.

On our menu is...

smoked turkey
smoked brisket
scalloped potatoes
baked beans
coleslaw
deviled eggs
hot rolls
four layer chocolate dessert and....I am still working on one more dessert idea.

What's your plans for the holiday?  Are you cooking, or is someone else hosting??

Happy Easter!!

Announcement! (And A Cool Picture)

Hi everyone!

I have an announcement. 

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Hello?  Is this thing on?

Ok, so my announcement is...Yes, I am still here.

No, I didn't win the lotto and run off to a secluded island beach.

Yet. (One of these days, that's where I'll be blogging from.  Just so ya know).

I have been busy, busy, busy.

It is prom season.  And if working from 7:00a.m.-5:00p.m. in our family business isn't enough, I also have the only tuxedo rental business in our area.

So during the day it's all about auto parts, and during prom season, the evenings are all about formal wear.  Ha!  What a funny combination.

Prom is this weekend, so I will be back to "normal" soon.  Whatever that is.

Since I always try to have a picture or two, here is our sunset from the other night, taken from our porch.
