One of the things that I’ve learned from living so durned long is that you gotta wait ‘til evening to find out just how splendid the day has been.
T’day was a big day....Easter Sunday ‘n all with almost all the fam’ly here...son Dave is still in Saudi Arabia ‘n t’day was a workday for him....well, you know you wouldn’t expect a Muslim country to celebrate a Christian holiday anyway....it was a long day, longer for Millyrose than it was for me....she was up late last nite ‘n got up early this morn....lots ‘n lots of getting ready stuff....lots of food....there was potato salad, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes with a secret ingredient....just goes to show that we’re basically a potato-loving fam’ly...’n a Smithfield Paula Deen ham....(brother John would’a loved it)....Heck! Dave would’a loved it...there was long, skinny green beans ‘n long, skinny asparagus, corn, stuffing, ‘n some other stuff that I never got around to trying at all...
there was bread, of course, sourdough rolls ‘n miniature croissants ‘n some home-made Portuguese sweetbread that Millyrose ‘n Francisca ‘n da gurlz made....there was assorted drinks ‘n desserts ‘n of course, there was Spring Spheres, what normal well-adjusted folk call Easter Eggs ‘n there was Easter candies ‘n basically there was stuff to eat.....lots ‘n lots of stuff to eat....’n we ate...all of us...’n then we sat around talking which we do pretty much as well as any other family....prob’ly better than some ‘n not so good as others tho’ I must admit that as talkers go, the Smith family overall ranks pretty good....’n then, Willie got out...oh, someone left the door open ‘n Willie likes to go wandering on his own when he gets the chance...we all went looking for him ‘n found him exploring the park....he likes to go to the park ‘n since I hadn’t taken him earlier, I guess he just took it on his own self to wander around the village ‘n see what was happening...
As old Willie Shakespeare famously stated, “All’s well that ends well” ‘n this Easter Sunday in the year of our Lord, 2011 ended pretty well....hope it was a nice day for everyone......g’nite all
