Tired and Still Going: Warp Speed Ahead

I haven't bolgged in a few days, so bear with me. The weekend flew by in a rush, the yardsale helped make it go very fast. We did very well, making a nice profit for the boys' team. It is very good to know that so many families are willing to give up their free time to do this for the kids. I was exhausted and achy all over. It was so worth it though. We will be doing it again in May, so we will be going through the attic and the basement room again, and again. Many other families will be dong the same. Hopefully this one will be just as succesful.

Easter is upon us, and I am cooking. This is the first time that I have done Easter dinner. When my Mom was well enough and my Dad was alive, she always did the Easter thing. Dad got sick and my sister picked up the Easter thing. Now, it is up to me. My sister is going with her daughter and family to her husband's parents' home for Easter dinner. So, I decided that I would invite my in laws, Scott's brother and his wife and her family and my Mom. I am doing the traditional ham, mashed potatoes, veggies (don't know what kind yet) and a few Polish dishes, pierogies(my first attempt) Kielbasa and Saurkraut. I am going to try. That is all that I can say, if it works out, goody, if not then next year, I don't do it at all.
Had to go to pick up Patrick at baseball practice, school ball. He made the first cut! Now, the practices this week will determine the ones that make the team. He loves the sport, so hopefully that plus his skill, plus the fact that the coach knows that he is a hard worker, will get him a spot on the team. His best friend didn't make the cut, and both were disapointed, but that is the nature of the game.
That is all for now, if I don't blog before, all have a Happy Easter, and a Happy Passover!

You will be even busier now that Patrick has made the team.

Good luck with the dinner. I must plan the menu but it's way too early for a Morrow to make a decision. Maybe Saturday. Happy Easter.

You have a good Easter too. I will be cooking but just for the both of us.
I thought everybody knew what pierogies are. We're not polish but I have heard of them since way back in my 20's. I don't like the sauerkraut ones though.

Not that you didn't have ENOUGH to do before. But, I know you'll enjoy it, even with all the ranting you'll share with us here. Good luck with din-din. My parents are coming here. It will be the 5 of us. The usual for us too: BIG A** HAM, taters, veggies. I'm also making a loaf of bread in the machine. Plus, strawberry shortcake for desert. Happy Easter!
