Easter Plans

Esther · #1 04-06-2009, 12:09 PM

What are your plans for Easter?

I will have 17 here for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All but two are spending the weekend. (At least I don't think they are) Plus I could have one to three more coming.

I made my gumbo Saturday and have it in the freezer waiting for Friday. Plus I will cook a ham Friday for the little fellows who may not care for the gumbo. Then I can also use the ham for Saturday morning breakfast.

Saturday I will fix a brisket with bake beans, brocolli and cheese casserole, potatoes, rolls, orange fluff, and Lemon Layer Delight.

I will be busier than a cat on a hot tin roof for the rest of this week.

My niece is going to bring her small tent for the kids to camp out in on the enclosed patio. There will be at least nine kids from 12 months to 9 years old.

We plan to have a big easter egg hunt Saturday and possibly Friday.

I have been having some health problems that I pray don't flare up while everyone is here.

17???!! You rock Esther!

Your menu sounds so yummy-BTW.

Our church is making Hamburgers on Easter hoping to attract some visitors-

But we may go to somewhere to eat and for go the hamburgers, but be there long enough to talk to folks.

Our church does an Easter Fellowship cookout too. It's a great opportunity for the visitors who come on Easter to get to know some of the people in the church and hopefully return for more services after Easter Sunday.

Saturday will be burgers and Egg hunts for all the kids. Big crowd with our bunch. Sunday morning service and Egg hunt afterwards. Don't know if we are eating at church or not yet.

If a bunny lays a brown egg don't eat it.
I do love choclate bunnys though.

I always enjoyed when I was growing up having a picnic and egg hunt the saturday before Easter and dinner on the ground with the church folks. We always went to a park where the kids could play and the men would play baseball. Everyone always had such a good time.

Then on Easter sunday we would go to Grandmothers for a huge egg hunt with the cousins. There were a lot of cousins since Grandmother had 9 living kids and most had at least four kids, with some exceptions of less and more.

Those were the days

I think a minimum of 17 as of now. I promised my neighbor I would fix her a plate and she may keep my Pom Saturday for her protection. She is small and all the kids want to pet her.

They love on her just a tad more than she likes.

My wife will be working, so methinks I will stay home and do some yard work.
