Food - well I am having the Grands to stay next week (school holidays)and if all the other visits are anything to go by, so often it is I don't like that any more. Last visit daughter said "they are enjoying Tuna, pasta and Broccoli bake just now. (With cheese sauce of course) I dished it up. Bekah - I don't like broccoli with it any more - Oliver - I don't like Tuna any more and on it goes. One visit - Blackcurrant is my favourite drink - next visit - lemon is my favourite drink!!

When she passed away everyone sort of took that as an opportunity to do their own thing so I don't have tons of people to host any more. When she was alive, people used to fly in and stay for a few days etc. Now we're lucky to see everybody maybe every two years or so. On one hand I miss the crazy fun of seeing everyone on the other it's waaay less stress and much more mellow with just a couple of people coming. <br /><br />Have a wonderful Easter Vee!Manuela@A Cultivated Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282273791971364124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-90036118838392846902013-03-29T10:30:48.586-04:002013-03-29T10:30:48.586-04:00I always have to cook meals for every holiday, and...I always have to cook meals for every holiday, and have since my mother died 40 years ago. This Easter will be no different. But, since the family has dwindled in size from the earlier years, I don't have quite so much work. I'd frankly rather have those loved ones here again and have much to do. His relatives are another story, we rarely see them. This year, our son has a big date Saturday night, so he won't be driving in just for the day. We got to see him last weekend. <br /><br />So, what is on your menu this year? Have a wonderful Easter with your loved ones!Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-55680796751504512002013-03-29T10:26:52.159-04:002013-03-29T10:26:52.159-04:00Mar. 29th

My children are at that age where they are all over the place and it isn't possible for all of us to come togather this Easter. I'll have to love them from afar.

They (son and girlfriend) are coming for ham dinner tomorrow even though they are on the 17 Day Diet and aren't to eat anything other than white meat or fish, no potatoes but veggies and salad are okay and no dessert! Ha. Well, they will eat dessert I'm pretty sure (lemon chiffon cake). I'm sure not going to eat it all! (grin) The note cards gifted to you are really sweet. I like the subway art style one in particular.
