I was up yesterday morning ready to cook: 13 pound ham, green bean casserole, potatoes to peal, a cake to make, and a virtual gathering by 3 p.m.
I was, however, the only one successful at the 3 p.m. timing. My house came ready to eat. Mimi and Papi, however, had already eaten, Cynde and Mike were on their way, and Casey and Dave needed a couple of hours. So, everyone watched us eat.
We were able to have an Easter-something together.
I also catered for my neighbors and dropped food off for Pam and Oona. At night, one of my neighbors suggested we build a bonfire and sit on opposite sides of the pit, 8 feet apart, simply to have a few beverages and to mingle. Chitunga thought it was a great idea, so we headed outside to take advantage of a clear night. Glamis also got quality play time with Buckey, neighbor's 1 year-old pup.
Still, it seemed somewhat odd to be trapped inside on a holiday for the most part, and to not have the physical chaos that is common with the holiday (I am used to hosting). It was a bit quieter, a lot less messier, and a whole lot let crazy. It seemed like another day, but with a few more thoughts of eggs and bunnies than the other days.
Okay, Monday. You're back at us. Now it's time to rethink what lies ahead (with plenty of ham to spare). Hoping everyone had a great celebration yesterday.
Be prepared for the winds today! Stay safe.
