I know that I should post more, I have been meaning too, really. I'll play catch-up a little bit by blogging about last weekend when I went to my aunt Carol's house for Easter. I had Friday off from work so I drove to her farm, and I went the "back-way" on route 250 which was a very nice scenic drive. My cousin Jacob and his wife Jessica (who I never met before Easter weekend) over for dinner on Friday night (we had some very good chicken enchiladas). And then my cousin Elizabeth and her husband Rob and new baby Robert came to Carol's on Saturday afternoon and we all had fun making food for lunch on Sunday and holding the baby! And we decorated eggs on Saturday night (which I haven't done in a few years) while waiting for Rachel and family to arrive at the farm. They arrive a little after 10:30 and I helped them all settle in and kept Scout with me in my room. Then on Sunday, we had a very nice meal (for which I made apple pies, scalloped potatoes, and cinnamon rolls). And I headed back to my apartment in the late afternoon, driving back on the interstate which was not a bad drive back either. I want to thank Carol for her wonderful hospitality over the Easter weekend and I will be sure to visit her often (including to coming to help bake/decorate cookies for the famous cookie walk after Thanksgiving).

I know Carol would love to have your company as often as you can get there. Rachel was glad for the short visit there and looking forward to seeing you this week-end (so am I - I miss you, y;know!).
chocolate pretzel cookies would be a great and easy addition to the cookie walk, i'll have to send carol or you the recipe
