Easter Sunday...hope everyone had a happy one!

Up at 7:30, ready for the day by 8:30. Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house right after breakfast, and we put together two large dishes of scalloped potatoes for the oven. Then Mother fixed a plate of deviled eggs, while I set put a tablecloth on the table, and set it for dinner. While we did this, Hubbie went out to the yard and gathered tulips and lilacs for the dining room.

Sis and Nephew arrived around 10:30, and Daughter and Great-Granddaughter arrived thirty minutes later. Sis brought dinner rolls and hot cross buns with her, and Daughter brought an Easter basket loaded with candy treats, a couple of stuffed ducklings, and a greeting card.

Earlier, I put chocolate Easter bunnies near the place settings for Sis, Nephew, Daughter, and Granddaughter, and a small basket containing packages of Jelly Belly candy, and a card, at Mother's place, and a card at Hubbie's place. Mother gave cards to Sis, daughter, and myself.

We sat down to eat at noon. The meal of ham, scalloped potatoes, deviled eggs, carrot salad, asparagus, and dinner rolls, was delicious. For dessert, we had helpings of pineapple upside down cake.

After lunch, we watched the musical movie, "The Music Man," that we'd begun watching before lunch. This morning, Mother and I were watching, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat," when family arrived, and they joined us in watching that.

We also watched a movie romance this afternoon. Then at supper, we chose what we wanted to eat from ham for sandwiches, macaroni salad, carrot salad, deviled eggs, and chips, with hot cross buns for dessert.

Afterward, we watched "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown." Then family was ready to head home. Mother stayed around and continued watching TV until around 8:30. Hubbie and I accompanied Mother home then, so I could put drops in Mother's eyes.

Hubbie and I finished the evening vegging in front of TV.

A good day.
