Easter review

I think Spring has arrived at last, and I think spending a good part of the long weekend with various family members helped enormously! Good Friday we had a nice lazy day at home and then spent the evening with Mom, Dad, Karen, and Michelle, eating finger foods and watching the HORRENDOUSLY BAD (but funny as heck) Stargate: SG1 movie which just came out. Bad movie, good times. I finished the Tequila Sunrise socks and presented them to Mom, and immediately started in on sock #2 of Peter's Suffolk Wool Boot Socks.

Saturday we noodled around the house a bit and in the midafternoon headed out to the country to spend the night with Peter's brother and sister-in-law. They have a lovely place in a conservation area, so loads of birds and squirrels and bunnies and deer in the backyard. Very cool and very restful, plus a fabulous Easter dinner of baked ham with all the trimmings. Mm good.

Sunday morning watched "The World's Fastest Indian" - terrific movie, Anthony Hopkins was wonderful in it and a great (true) story. Then home again, with a stop for brunch along the way, and some chores and such before a CSI marathon. Pretty much a perfect long weekend - I even got Jake (my WoW main) to level 68!

So now, back to work yesterday and today, and even though I am stupidly busy, I'm feeling good and in control. There's lots to get done but it's manageable. AND - the air *feels* like Spring. It's still cold, and blowing, and supposed to snow a bit tonight, but I can feel the Spring coming on. Is good.

Will post pictures of the socks and deer ASAP - meanwhile, have a terrific day!
