I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Ours was quiet, just Easter service and brunch. I do LOVE our pastor’s subtle sense of humor as he inserted an April Fool’s joke or two into the sermon while still making it reverent for the occasion.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE – a little gray and cloudy, but pleasant right now. It is supposed to heat up to the 80’s this week with some thunderstorms later in the week.
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE – cheerios, banana and green tea
FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA – Sandra recommended a series of cookbooks recently and I ordered 2 of them to see if I would like them. They arrived on Saturday and I sat and read them cover to cover. I also bookmarked the recipes I want to try.
The tabs on the side are for the recipes I can make before our move with what I currently have in the pantry and freezer. I also ordered a new slow cooker cookbook today that will be here next week and will be perfect for cold winter in the Pacific North West.
