We&#8217;re hosting part of my family for Easter dinner. We&#8217;ve planned the menu, and we have a rough idea of how many people will be here.  I&#8217;ll set two tables, and by the end of the week, I may have to add one more small table to that.  Luckily, we have room and dishes to expand on short notice.  Usually seating is the most difficult aspect of a family gathering.  I&#8217;ve put vanity seats and benches and office chairs, and the barrel chair in the living room into play when we&#8217;ve been surprised.<br \/>\nThis Easter we will have only one little one with us, our almost-three-year-old granddaughter.  I have to bring the plastic Easter eggs up from the basement and clean them, so we&#8217;re ready for an Easter egg hunt.  Dear Husband is going to be the filler of the eggs this year.  I&#8217;d also like to hang some plastic eggs from the baby redbud tree at the front of the house.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve begun the lists of cleaning, and shopping.  I know what linens I plan to use, and I&#8217;ll check on them early this week so that we don&#8217;t have any surprises.  I&#8217;ll have to keep on top of laundry through the week, because once I press the dining room table cloth, I won&#8217;t be able to set my clean laundry there while it waits for me to find the time to fold it.<br \/>\nI changed quilts on the living room wall, and I really miss the much darker one.  I didn&#8217;t want it to sun fade, so I returned the Stars and Stepping Stones quilt to the wall.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Stars%26Stepping%20Stones%204.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.redeaglespirit.com\/arrrgh\/Stars%26Stepping%20Stones%204.jpg\" width=\"287\" height=\"225\" \/><br \/>\nWhile it uses the same colors, and even some of the same fabrics, it has a great deal more tan in it.  Once we get into summer, and the leaves are giving us some shade, the darker blocks will stand out.<br \/>\nI still have not gotten into the gardens.  The garlic chives need to be trimmed today!  I&#8217;ll have to get out there this afternoon because storms are on their way again.  When I can get back into the gardens, I won&#8217;t have enough time to clean them properly, so I need to do some emergency things today.<br \/>\nDoes anyone know how big a ham you need for 20-22 people?  And would I be better off with two smaller hams?  I&#8217;ll have to surf, so that I can order today.<br \/>\nI hope you&#8217;re all having a good weekend, and that you enjoy the coming week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like most of you who visit here, I expect this week to be a busy one.
