Howdy Y’all! We feasted, much merry was made, and Miss Becky visited. Dishes are all clean thanks to the dishwasher. I could empty it this evenin’ but don’t place any bets. I hauled the biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig trash can all the way down to the road for pickup tomorrow. Chillage now ensues. Hope everyone has had a good day. **Flytrap** I am fond of the baked kind of [Alaska](https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=iUSPpENt&id=4CB631564E94EB47B9BCA3ABBF485F3E15DA35FF&thid=OIP.iUSPpENtPU4oxO7NxyKtzwHaE8&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fsmittenkitchendotcom.files.wordpress.com%2f2016%2f09%2fbaked-alaska.jpg%3fw%3d1200&exph=800&expw=1200&q=baked+alaska&simid=608027767692722726&selectedIndex=4&ajaxhist=0). ---

We are also heathens in our household, but the (local) kids aren’t, they’re Looterins, so we’re invited to their house for dinner today. Prolly ham and sides. \*\*Wifey’s \*\* making home-made biskits to take with. It’ll be good wholesome Norman Rockwell Merika. > [@dogbutler](#): > > red, I am no longer welcome at egg hunts. Apparently, you are not supposed to hunt them with a 12 gauge.:dubious: I use a .22, it’s much more sporting. We don’t have an Olive Garden in our little town of ~23,000 people, but we do have 3 sushi places. :eek: I don’t even like sushi. We’re getting a Panda Express real soon though. I’m looking forward to seeing the pandas. Y’all have a nice Easter! I guess most of you have already had it, huh? :smack: ---

And we’re home again. Higgs didn’t accompany us because \*\*FCD \*\*didn’t want to take her. We got there early enough to determine that I shouldn’t have recommended my mom buy an Amazon Fire tablet. \*\*FCD \*\*cleared all her sign-ins off of it and they’re going to return it. Meanwhile, I found her a tablet similar to mine and it’s been ordered. She should get it tomorrow. My sister can help her set it up. Too much food, so I’s stuffded. My sister wasn’t pissed at all about not going to FL, but she’s still willing if for some reason \*\*FCD \*\*can’t do it. That was a relief - I was fearing a scene. She can get a bit emotional at times. My bro brought a big bag of goodies from his SO for the new baby - I don’t know what’s in it, but it weighs a ton. We also came home with chocolate rabbits and some leftover ham. I’m about to shed my shoes and goin’ out clothes and don a robe. Chillage shall ensue. ---

I lost one of my favorite channels on TV. I don’t remember what it was called but it was all foreign shows. It was a pain to have to _watch_ to read the subtitles instead of just listening, but I liked a lot of the shows. However, I gained the scientology channel, yes, scientology has its own channel. The brat is finally sleeping. ---

**metal mouse** , I think we’re pretty close to 50/50 on heathens vs. Christians here. Cage match maybe? 😛 Speaking of heathens, we had our spring picnic indoors at the community room of a local police precinct today. A couple of officers got tickled at coming into the lobby to kids (waiting for the aigs to be hidden) playing beachball catch in the lobby. We had a play dough table, an art table, corn hole and the aforementioned aig hunt for the kids and board/card games for the grown ups along with the potluck. A good time was had by all. ---
