Feel like I am on top of the world on the rooftop where I work on a beautiful Spring morning. Loving my new Pixley Lucia Embroidered V-Neck Jersey Top from Stitch Fix. I am very excited to finally get out my white jeans. Welcome Spring!
Easter fills us with hope, joy and warmth. It is a time to get together with friends, family and loved ones and celebrate this joyful time. So blessed to share another Easter together. Our grandchildren adore my niece Sandra and they kept her busy all afternoon.
These guys got a kick when I said “Let’s take a photo of the kids”
All the men gathered around Andy, Merci’s dad for the “Good Sport Photo”
Here are our sisters Marlene and Marianne hamming it up as usual.
Love this photo of my son in law Bill with Damian, Merci’s son.
Here are Merci’s parents and my mom with their great grandchildren and Robin – Batman was on assignment.
After we ate and thought we could not eat another bite, out came the dessert. Marlene’s Orange Trifle is my very favorite – so refreshing and so good.
Merci and her husband Billy (a very good egg indeed).
Happy Easter to you and your family. May this special day be blessed with joy and happiness. Happy Easter. Happy Spring. ~ Merci and Liz
I have always been a once a week tuna eater. I like it right from the can on a salad or made into tuna salad. It is a easy lunch, dinner or snack any day of the week. So when I heard about Safe Catch 100% Mercury Tested Canned Tuna, I was excited to try it. Then I found out it has over 100% of the daily value of all 10 essential amino acids, B vitamins, selenium and potassium. But when you get right down to it, I had to taste it and it was delicious.
I kept it simple, added some tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, green olives and my favorite radishes! Dressed it with home-made vinaigrette. Eat Pure. Live Pure.
Easy Peasy – 10 minutes to your table any way you serve them
Peas Five Ways
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cans (15oz.ea.) Del Monte sweet peas drained
½ cup bagged shredded carrots
⅓ cup chopped fresh mint leaves
Curious Critters Marine by David FitzSimmons is an amazing book about marine animals. Curious Critters Marine got my grandchildren curious enough to open the book instead of opening the i-pad or lap top.
As soon as they saw the octopus on the front cover their interest was aroused.
With wide eyed interest they flipped through each page.
They got to see pictures of creatures they never had seen before
Christian’s favorite was the photo of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle.
Curious Critters Marine had creatures that made me say,”Look at that creature.”
Creatures like a California sea Cucumber, Lined Seahorse (the kids loved this little horse), Red LionFish, Hawaiian reef hermit Crab ( so cute peeking out of his shell), A Cushion Sea Star ( even in the picture you can actually see why it is called cushion).
Each picture with a simple story that children and adults can enjoy, especially at bed time.
Curious Critters Marine does get you curious about nature.
