I hope you had a lovely Easter. Mine was very nice, with my son baking a wonderful ham dinner - garlic mashed potatoes, cranberries, asparagus, along with a lemon cake that I made. We watched the movie Peter Rabbit on Netflix over the weekend too. Here's a few pics of our Easters in no special order. I've been recovering from this awful cold, and with lots of tea and soup, I'm finally starting to feel like myself again.
My brother-in-law came into town right before Easter and brought me a gift bag of goodies - chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, flower seed packets to plant, and this pretty card. I thought it was perfect from the three in-laws.
If you remember Mia's pioneer days, Nel sent me this picture, and I wanted to share some of the stations that were set up with different kinds of pioneer-era activities for the kids to do: building a log cabin out of milk cartons and pretzels, square dancing and music making, pancakes, games, and more! Nel volunteered at a station where kids made rafts out of popsicle sticks and yarn, and tried to support the weight of a floating apple. Mia had so much fun. I'm glad she learned about this time in history.
On Good Friday, me and my son went to the creek, and I wanted to get some fresh air and spend some time in nature. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but the creek was filled and everything was so green and growing. Soon, I will see dozens of California poppies growing along the ridges.
We had some rain last week, and we're supposed to get more in April. I'll leave you with this, just because I loved it.

I’m glad you had a wonderful Easter.
Sounds perfect to me, just get over your cold.
Your Easter sounds lovely, especially the trip to the stream. I can almost picture it when everything is full of blooming poppies.
Absolutely love the photos of your grands and all of the activities.
Food looks yummy too.
I am still determined to hunt for my sons Colonial Days photos to share. That kind of learning by emersion is the best.
So glad you are feeling better and that you could get out and see the beautiful world around you.
I can't wait for the poppies too.
(((hugs)))

The mountains are gorgeous, and everything is so blue and green. The pioneer projects sound like so much fun that I would even like to try them myself. All the food looks so good. I hope you could really enjoy it since you were not feeling the best. I hope you are all better by now.
Happy Easter my dear friend,
Thank you for the photos of your mountain, creek and the green. :-)
Have a blessed Easter Week my dear friend. I do hope you are feeling better.

Your holiday weekend sounds absolutely perfect, Sheri! I'm so glad you could spend Easter with your son and your Good Friday visit sounds great. Onward!
It's nice to spend the holidays with the kids. Nice food, beautiful Easter eggs. The holidays end today, tomorrow I'm going to the yard to do everything that needs to be done in the garden. I'm a little behind.
What a lovely Easter meal and adventure to see nature. Your family treats you very well. Happy Springtime and enjoy the poppies when they start popping up. I love California poppies.
That dinner looks perfectly delicious!
Glad you are feeling better

Looks like a lovely Easter.
Wow... that view of nature... I wish I had that. How remarkable!!!!!!!!
I knew you would have a wonderful Easter because you always do things nicely. That meal looked so good and fun to make with your son. Was that rabbit made of cheese?
And how nice your In-Laws remembered you. That was sweet.
I have never seen that version of Peter Rabbit. I will have to watch it sometime.
I loved to see the girls in their Easter dresses.
Mia and Nel celebrating the way things were - the olden days. lol.
You are warm below and when you look out your see snow on the mountains. You live in a beautiful area.
Looks like you enjoyed a wonderful Easter and some of your scenery photos are breathtaking. Glad you are starting to feel better.
How stunning! I'm gonna watch that movie for sure. Have a lovely April!
Aww...sounds like you had a wonderful Easter! The girls are all gorgeous...
Lunch looked delicious...and I bet the poppies will be beautiful.
Happy week!

Sheri...As I scrolled through your photos, I stopped at each one and just admired all of the beauty of your Easter Weekend. Not only your adorable grands, but the delicious food and the beauty of the scenery in your area. What a wonderful Easter Weekend you had. You make blogging fun and I appreciate the love you share in each post. Happy Tuesday!!
Dear Sheri - hope you are getting better from your bad cold. So glad to read that you and your son celebrated Easter together. Nel and Mia look absolutely beautiful and it sounds like such a wonderful way to learn about history. Your photos from Good Friday are breathtaking. You certainly live in a gorgeous spot. Well take care friend and what a wonderful quote that closed out your lovely post. Those thoughts certainly capture the thought of having the things we love and bring good memories to warm our hearts. Hugs!
Dear Sheri, your photos are gorgeous and heartwarming! Looking at the delicious food in your photos is very touching. I wish I didn't have issues with swallowing, but hopefully the doctors can figure out why and that it is fixable/treatable.
Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend.
Dear Sheri, I love garlic mashed potatoes and I also make onion mashed potatoes sometimes. Thankfully I am able to eat them with no issues. I can eat soup, soft boiled eggs or sunny side up eggs fine. Toast is okay as well. My swallowing difficulty is usually when I try to eat meat, even roast chicken, which I love.
I want you to know how much I appreciate your prayers 🙏 ❤️ as well as your friendship. It really means so much to me.
God bless you, dear friend.
The mountains here are still snow covered too.
Darling girls
Dinner looks good. Glad you got out in nature it helps I think. Glad you are feeling better from your cold.
What a nice gift from your brother in law.
Happy Spring

You had such a lovely Easter Sheri, darling photos of your sweet family, a lovely meal your son cooked and such a nice gift from your brother-in-law. Yummy dishes! Thank you for sharing with us. I hope you feel better very soon. Hugs, Denise
Hi Sheri,
Sounds like you had a nice Easter. We did too. We also had ham. The kids came over and ate with us and hunted for eggs. Been a nice week off from school. 😀
I adore Peter Rabbit and anything to do with spring. We are having an especially colorful spring after some good winter rain, so many wildflowers and that green, fresh feeling that the season brings. Glad you had such a nice Easter.

Love all the sweet photos of your grands.
The pioneer activities are such fun learning moments for Mia, and the scenery with all that spring green is just beautiful.
Happy Sunday, Sheri 🌹
