And, speaking of Walpurgisnacht-- My husband and I took a back way to the grocery store tonight, and drove through a neighborhood we don't see every day. One of the houses had a huge skeleton in front of it, one of those that towers over the yard. I wondered if it were a Walpurgisnacht reference. My...

We're having deviled eggs tonight because I was too tired to do them yesterday. On line they talk like everybody loves this pineapple casserole, but I don't think we're going to love it. It's OK. I know a woman at church who says she grew up calling deviled eggs "dressed eggs," because peo...

Verdict is still out on the pineapple casserole. Only two of us four ate it. My son said it was good, but only after I asked him. I thought it was ok, but I wasn't in love with it. It has canned pineapple, cheddar cheese, crushed Ritz crackers and butter for a topping. A couple of other ingredients,...

Well, my husband made the hash brown casserole for church, and it disappeared fast. I've made something called a pineapple casserole for our private Easter meal tonight. I'd never even heard of it, but Southern Living says it's a very well known Southern casserole. I'm thinking it may have been more...

Yes, I miss Mike, too. I hope he's OK, whatever he's doing. We're so busy at church this week that I haven't had time to do much of anything at home. Choir rehearsal Weds, then performances last night, tonight, and twice on Sunday. My husband teaches 6-8 grade Sunday School, so he's involved with th...

Just bumping this thread, since Easter is once again on April 20. I guess it's been eleven years since that happened.

Happy Easter to you all, too!

That song would be good for Walpurgisnacht, which is coming up at the end of this month.

At the moment I'm more in Easter mode myself, but, yes, we are almost to the halfway point. This year is flitting by.

Well, see, that's the thing. Santa Claus is a man, even though he has a very specific costume. But the Easter Bunny isn't human. Real bunnies are sweet and cute. Grown men in bunny costumes, not so much.

Well, it's a sad commentary on our times, but we all know now that child predators can be attracted to gigs like that. I guess having the children sit alongside is just a way to avoid possible lawsuits. When my daughter was in grade school, I was tempted to sign her up for summer camp at the Nashvil...

That's kinda sad about the lonely Easter bunny, but I must confess I never took my kids for Easter bunny photos. We did Santa every year when they were young, but I never did the Easter bunny in my childhood. I mean, the Easter bunny came, but it wasn't a thing to get photos made with him back then....

I read about it yesterday after you mentioned it. I didn't know that it was Latvian, or that it had been made using free software. But it does sound interesting. It seems we are entering an era when there is more access for creative people. They no longer have to go through the gatekeepers of the en...

Flow? I guess I'm really out of the loop. I hadn't even heard of it. But I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I am sorry to hear about Val Kilmer. I saw him in several movies back in the day, and most recently in Top Gun Maverick, which I thought was a much better movie than the original Top Gun. I learned at choir practice tonight that our minister's wife just lost her mother unexpectedly today, so she's h...

Oh, man, good for her, I guess. But what a thing to do to people who care about you!

I'm glad it wasn't true.
