The Last of Easter

I didn’t have Lise’s photos when I wrote about our Easter dinner, but she had two that I’d like everyone to see. After neighbor Jeff took a selfie from a high angle, we grouped ourselves together for one more that shows our faces better. This is my favorite taken that day. Jeff is next to Lise, and I am near Bob and Shawn.

This is a picture of peeps that Lise found while we were wandering around stores. I remember yellow peeps from my childhood. They were supposed to represent yellow chicks made of marshmallow with a coating of sugar. They tasted like pure sugar. Over the years, different colors were added. I bought green ones once, because that is my favorite color. Perhaps the unusual color caught Lise’s eye, and she read that they were flavored with Dr. Pepper, a popular flavor of soda. It was fun to taste. They didn’t last the day, being sampled and enjoyed after dinner.

Easter 2024

Neighbor Logan (13) spent many hours with daughter Lise and me when he was off from school before Easter. What fun we had! The main intellectual activity was playing the word scramble game, Boggle. Logan won the first game we played. He and I tended to lag behind Lise, but we kept trying.

The day before Easter, we were tidying up. Logan pushed the Swiffer around all the hardwood floors and washed the windows which Kacey had decorated with her nose. I tried to pay him for his work, but he said he was going to leave it in the house, and he did. I’m not sure what day Logan was eating with us, but it was obvious he loves pickles.

Lise saw the tulips coming up that she planted last fall, and some looked parched. She watered them and probably saved them from a horrible death.

My photo of the week is on the silly side. Kacey is always delighted when I am on the floor doing exercises. She is sure I’m living on her level for her sole benefit.

I was very happy to worship on line – loved singing the stately Easter chorales and hymns. Neighbors joined us for a ham dinner. It was wonderful to have a relaxed time together, enjoying each other’s company. I took an ordinary photo with people sitting at the table.

Jeff was nominated to take a selfie, so we could all be in the same frame. I loved this high angle, so different from an ordinary picture. Didn’t he do a good job? He couldn’t see where he was aiming, because the camera couldn’t flip views like a phone. His is the face in the lower left corner.
