Something About Nothing ... #12

WOW!!!!!! I Have never seen a baby giraffe being born before. How awesome was that. Thanks for tipping us off to that Schumi

 

[schumigirl]

Awwwww.......that was spectacular! Still watching her clean baby up...........Oliver the daddy is being very attentive too.........

Glad you saw it too Robo......I've been watching for 7 weeks!

Love how the calf is desperate to stand already.........

Okay, so I figured out what is going on, in Chrome, when it keeps scrolling to the bottom. I had originally timed it out at a 25 second cycle, but I have discovered it is the ads, at the bottom, that have video. Whenever the video gets to the end and restarts, the webpage focuses on it...so, it depends on the length of the video that is loaded, as to how long the cycle is...and it happens on all of my Chrome browsers. I didn’t think it was, because some of the videos are much longer…just have to wait for it to restart, and then the scroll down happens. Still, it does happen in other browsers.


So annoying.

Both my parents where from the South and every Sunday we went to church and after church we would usually have a fried chicken dinner. Then when my father had to move to a burb of Chicago for work we would always go to a lovely Italian restaurant owned by a sweet old Italian couple who we absolutely adored. So after church meals were always a joy because we got to see Papa and Nana Valentino and have the best meatballs and gnocchi ever made..

We always celebrated Easter. We would go to church on Easter Sunday and either have a Easter Ham meal at home or go to Nana and Papa Valentino's restaurant for dinner.

We always dyed Easter eggs on Good Friday. On Easter morning after church we had a Easter egg hunt and there was always plenty of Easter candy.

Our youngest grandchildren that are close by don't hunt eggs anymore so I usually give them a Easter card with money. My sisters little grandchildren usually come over and we have a Easter egg hunt for them. I put money in plastic eggs and hide them outside or inside depending on the weather and let them hunt away. Will avoid the front flower bed do to MacSnakey though...LOL....

Will do Easter service early am and then have everyone over for Easter lunch tomorrow. Will have Ham, mash potatoes, gravy, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, angel eggs, pistachio pineapple salad, spinach spread and pumpernickel bread, olives, rolls, Easter Punch (diet lemon lime soda and orange sherbet), cheesecake, pineapple upside down cake.

My maternal grandmother Essie and my mom and her twin sister were lovely southern Godly women who had a very big influence in my life. I'am so thankful for their love of traditions. They were all great cooks. So on Easter I honor not only my thankfulness of Christs resurrection, but also the wonderful women who instilled the tradition of Easter in me.

There is always room for more at our table Sans family. You are all most welcome I would even put some hot sauce on the table for Schumi because she likes things spicey, set a special place for Mac mother of Sans. I would have a place for Lynne with a Easter basket with a soccer ball in it for her daughter. Kohlby could cut the ham. PCstang family and the Bluers could tell us about their most recent trip to Universal. Monykalyn could bring her baby chicks. Keisha could bring her dyed eggs. BagOLaughs could bring the chocolate. Wagman67 could talk to us about Holiday World coasters. Agavegirl could help with the numbers to make sure we have chairs for everyone and KY07 can make the drive up from Kentucky and Chuckers could bring some seafood from his neck of the woods.

On my way! Sounds like you have some very lovely traditions in your family. And I forgot about the deviled/angels eggs-need to do that as I have over 2 dozen eggs in fridge right now (and didn't even bother to check coop yesterday...)

Fun night last night-just now really starting to move around. The ensemble tribute band (my friend sang a couple songs with them) to Paul Simon was just awesome. Billed a Rhythm of the Saints tribute they played songs from Graceland too (and a couple others). The Obvious Child is just so fun Live!! And we knew the guy playing trumpet-one of the band directors at a school we work with.
Now-to recover and make the pie and deviled eggs for tomorrow...I am off on my days-Yesterday felt like Saturday as kids were home.

Yay for April being a mommy at long last!

When my oldest was 5 or so we were at my in laws for Easter dinner. I told him the deviled eggs were cupcakes...boy was he in for a surprise! I know, bad dad, but it's still a running joke anytime we all get together. My youngest just turned 5 so it might be time to start the tradition with him!

Sounds like everyone has great plans for Easter Sunday

Hope all have a Blessed day with their families

 

[kohlby]

Thanks Robo.......looking forward to entertaining tomorrow.......desserts made........pavlova which I'll decorate with the cream and strawberries tomorrow, flourless chocolate cake, apple pie and couple of ice creams and cream......

Watching April the giraffe giving birth right now.......well, 2 legs are out so far..........

Maybe I need to rethink this never-had-Easter-dinner-before thing and show up schumi's. That's a great dessert list!

It was pretty cool seeing April give birth - finally!

 

[macraven]

Yes party at schumi's tomorrow

Maybe she will serve desserts first....

So, where the hell do I find my renewal dates for my APs? First time I've been on the new site on my PC. Now I understand all the frustration!

 

[macraven]

I received 5 emails to let me know I needed to renew

You should get the renewal email heads up automatically

My renewal date was April 19 and my emails started in March 1 this year

Hello everyone. Just stopping by to say HI! We have been extremely busy lately not sure if we are coming or going. Lol
Boy I have missed a lot here. PC we just got an email the other day about our AP renewal and we renew in May.
Hope everyone is doing well. I'm hoping to slow down a little so we can enjoy time with our family. Going to have a nice Easter dinner at my parents house. My whole family hasn't been together in a while. It's hard when everyone is grown up and has a life of their own.
Well I'm going to get some sleep. I'll leave the lights on for the night owls here.

 

[macraven]

Thanks for leaving the light on for the night owls
You are a fine homie to do that for the late birds

Been missing you on the thread

Expect a report tomorrow of what grub you all had for Sunday family dinner

It will help me decide which homies house I need to crash at next Easter

[macraven]

Waited until they contacted me for renewal

As I have 2 turkey`s cooking right now...........

 

[schumigirl]

So, having a little break from prep for this afternoon........

Had little panic this morning and needed to make fresh meringues this morning for pavlova as ones yesterday didn't go chewy and gooey in the middle.....so, these ones are much better. Glad I got up early.......

Turkey`s are cooking.......everything else is ready for last minute cooking or heating up........everyone is bringing little pre lunch treats and some appetisers.......and I have hidden a little treat for everyone in individual wrapped baskets.......not much, little chocolate bars and some goodies appropriate for male and female........should be fun......just hope it doesn't rain!!

Hope everyone has a lovely Easter Sunday whatever you may be doing.........

 

[Robo56]

Happy Easter morning everyone
