CELEBRATE

I woke up this morning feeling like life is worth celebrating. We have had a couple of inches of rain this weekend, every thing looks fresh and renewed. The sun is shining and it feels like springtime. Although I know in my head that is not altogether a good thing because we all know winter is not over yet but in my heart I felt like celebrating.

Fairly often we entertain on Sunday evenings. I love to cook for a crowd. Jason & Shyla, Levi & Christi, and we will be here tonight. I have a huge rump roast cooking in the oven, carrots to be added later. I will make mashed potatoes, rolls, and a salad. I baked a double layer chocolate fudge cake with fudge icing and chocolate sprinkles. We have chocolate and vanilla ice cream to go with that. I'll brew a pot of chocolate macadamia nut coffee.

I decorated the big dining table with a pale yellow with lavender flowers table cloth and the dessert table with a purple table cloth. I put out my good china. It is white with a gold rim and a tiny red rose in the center. I put the cake on a white china platter and set it on the new wooden cake stand Richard & Rhonda made me for Christmas.

All very spring like and festive.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Free day.
I think I will go walk just because it feels good.

See ya'
