Easter Weekend

This weekend was quite busy and fabulous!
Thursday night started out with my knitting girls coming over for food and wine. M brought so much delicious food....especially those spicy olives.

Friday was a slow start for some of us....Buddy and Lindy came over for a BBQ and to work on "Doris" which is what I have named C's new bike. Buddy is really awesome with bikes because the bike is now in working order. C is having so much fun riding it around and has actually been volunteering to go to the store to pick up things just so that he can go for a ride.

Saturday was our big Easter dinner. We decided this year to change things up a little bit with the menu. In 57 days, not that I am counting, we are going to Italy. I decided to cook an Italian meal to get us all in the mood for our holiday. Gnocchi, Eggplant Parmesan and a Caprese salad. We our going to Massa Lubrense, which is a village on the south western coast of Italy just across from Capri. The meal and company was wonderful.

Sunday we went with C's parents to Niagara Falls to spend the day with C's Nan. It was a little cold but we did have a nice look around the stores in Niagara-on-the-lake. It is just such a nice little town to wander around. Loads of tourists were eating ice cream walking down the street. I thought this was a slightly insane thing to be doing, but maybe they all came from colder climates and thought this was warm enough for ice cream weather? Or maybe they thought that since all the ice cream shops were open it was a "Canadian" thing to do to eat ice cream in winter-like conditions?

Happy Monday!
