Pecan Pie, A List, Antiques Roadshow

1. Pecan pie with my coffee this morning.
2. I got right to the list of phone calls and appointments to set. (It must have been the sugar in the pecan pie that spurred me on.)
3. I really like Antiques Roadshow. It airs on Monday night and I look forward to 8PM when I get to see other people's treasures.

There is a Big Wide World Out There

Easter, Love, Relaxed

1. Easter is my favorite holiday. I have a good feeling all day long.
2. Phone calls from all around. We are all apart, but everyone is happy doing their own thing. Well wishes and love are shared, so we are close in spirit.
3. At the end of the day, Steve, Tess and I settle in to watch an amusing, lighthearted movie together.

A Team, New Home, Fast!

1. I enjoy watching Claire and Daniel tackle all of the moving tasks at hand with no hesitation. They make a great team.
2. We wander from room to room, imagining all the possibilities.
3. Claire takes me in the little red sports car convertible (with the top down). She makes the turn late and we careen rather quickly into the parking lot. I laugh and get out of the car as though I've just been on a carnival ride.

Good Friday in My Heart by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge

GOOD FRIDAY in my heart! Fear and affright!
My thoughts are the Disciples when they fled,
My words the words that priest and soldier said,
My deed the spear to desecrate the dead.
And day, Thy death therein, is changed to night.

Then Easter in my heart sends up the sun.
My thoughts are Mary, when she turned to see.
My words are Peter, answering, ‘Lov’st thou Me?’
My deeds are all Thine own drawn close to Thee,
And night and day, since Thou dost rise, are one.

Cookies, A Dog Bed, "Hello?"

1. Sugar cookie dough takes shape as bunnies, flowers and birds.
2. We bring home a new bed for Gunner. He happily claims it as his own and settles right into it.
3. I'm just preparing to call my mom and Steve says, "You make the coffee and I'll call your mom."
And he does! She thinks it's the wrong number.

Pysanky, Used Books, Ideas

1. I placed some of our pysanky eggs out for Easter. Each year I climb on the chair to get the cartons down, handling them with great care. The designs progress from scribbles when the girls were young, to intricate beauties done these past few years.
2. A trip to the used bookstore. Tess had a good find and I found some bookplates by Lucy Dawson of her adorable dog sketches. Something I have been looking for!
3. I joined the women for delicious coffee and bakery treats. We had a good discussion which spilled over at home with Steve. It was nice to continue it...
