Morning all! Fresh hot steaming double Irish is on the bar, both regular and unleaded. There is also a pot of hot, spoon melting Orderly Room coffee prepared for those who prefer it. Help yourselves.

Good morning, Paul!

Thanks for making the coffee.

I brought some flowers, since it's both Easter and a new Saloon.

and an Easter basket!

this morning?

Hope that you enjoy your Easter.

Thanks; I am well and will enjoy Easter - I hope you all will enjoy it too.

I see we have twin Easter baskets.

I like this egg, too. It's unusual!

I know we'll enjoy it. Just the two of us and we can fix dinner whenever we want to. We're not on any schedule or time restraints.

I just had a flashback of memories of past Easters when I was young. The whole family would gather at Nana's house. She had seven children so there were always 15 to 20 of us there for the day. She and her two Sisters prepared everything. Since there were so many, there were no Easter baskets but instead they put a paper plate by each place setting and put in the fake grass and filled them with candies. Everyone always got there early so we'd start off with a large breakfast of eggs with ham, bacon, sausage and fresh biscuits. After breakfast we'd go to church and come back to the smells of dinner being prepared. It was always a leg of lamb and a turkey with all the fixings. Those were the good old days.

What wonderful memories! Christmas was the only holiday we celebrated anything like that, with family about.

It's just the two of us here too. Bob surprised me yesterday by bringing a couple steaks. I think one would make enough for the two of us, they are so big.

We were never around family during the holidays so it was just the three of us, and Mass and dinner were the highlight. That was one of the Masses my Atheist father would go to because he enjoyed the music (pre-Vatican II days).
