Post-Easter lull

This was one of the more enjoyable Easters we've had in recent years.

We spent time with a family with which we have a great deal in common -- two young kids per unit, exciteable and engaging, with never enough time on our hands.

We had fun. A lot of it. And we had a great meal, courtesy of ham from Polehnas, our local Czech meat market, and a pair of pies from Kathy's Pies.

If it sounds like a feast, it was. The kids even ate the ham, which is an achievement of sorts in itself.

Now that our visitors have gone home again, the house seems sadly quiet. I think it may miss the ruckus, just a little.

Oh, and our egg hunt? Indoors. But it came off without a hitch. Turns out a house with excessive clutter also provides many egg hiding places.

I'm submitting our yard for federal protection, though. It really is a mess, especially the back yard. The kids want to get out there and romp, now that the weather is warming up, but it's not gonna happen, at least for a few more days.

It'll come around. Hopefully.

Enough topics here? I think I'll stop now, before I veer off topic again.
