Sat 30 Mar

Ham is in the oven. Will get busy assembling cheesy potatoes and bean casserole soon. Will roast asparagus at the very end, hopefully around noon. Then we will gather all items into as portable as possible serving dishes, trying to preserve warmth. The plan is to have the food to Whispering Pines at about 12:30 pm. Michael, Leone, and Mick are coming. I cheated on dessert and bought Costco carrot cake cupcakes a couple of weeks ago and kept them in the freezer til last night. No one ever seems all that hungry by dessert so I don't always feel like putting in a lot of effort when it may not be eaten. This way, everyone can take their cupcake home if they're too full to eat it today. Cheesy potatoes and bean casserole are ready to go in the oven when the ham emerges. Haven't decanted the Jello eggs yet; hope they stay whole. Only three colors this year. I'm not taking wine as I expect I would also need to take wine glasses and Grandma and Leone don't drink it anyway. Wish your life allowed time for an Easter brunch tomorrow, but fully understand that you are wiped out. We would have brought you leftover cheesy potatoes and bean casserole (made with turkey bacon). Hugs instead!!!! Good lunch with Grandma and family. Followed by a good nap. I feel like the day should be over but there's still Vigil tonight. I'm discombobulated!
