Easter Company

We are getting ready for our Easter Company at our home.  This was my chosen Holiday this year, we pick at Thanksgiving who will host which one.   SO, I have been getting ready for some time, first it was the handmade card/invites and then the shopping of the Easter egg hunt gifts and the wrapping.  Next was the little Easter place card cups, the purchase of the flowers and ribbon for the rolled linen napkins.  Tomorrow we are going to dye our Easter eggs to put in our little cups and boy of boy, I am going to try and make a molded Easter cake.   I will be back next week with some other pictures, I hope of the cake (LOLOLO) and our Easter dinner.  My husband will do the cooking so that should be just fine!!  

We will be having 14 people for dinner, 15 if you want to come.   Our rolled linen napkins with the flowers and ribbon.  I FINALLY bought enough of this style of napkin for a very large group.  I have been known to have more than one style of napkin on the table,   ** nothing wrong with that  **, just wanted to have/do something different each holiday hosting I do to keep them guessing!

Our Easter egg hunt gifts.  Our family is kinda in the middle, we no longer have the small children for our hunt and no grandchildren yet so I thought instead of candy we will be doing little adult gifts (not that adult, this is Easter, you know!)   Shhh, all a secret yet!!

Our little Easter nameplate cups.  Tomorrow is Easter egg Dying and those will be going into those little cups and those little birdies that I cut off from the picture I will glue dot to the egg.   Alas, the chicken or the egg?

Okay, got some musing today too.  I went to the dentist today.  I broke my tooth several weeks ago and I needed a crown, my first really major dental work I have ever needed done and I tell you, those shots of novicane , at least 4, I kid you not are very painful but after that I did not feel a thing and that was for about a good six hours.  This not not my usual dentist, now don't these doctors/dentists seem younger all the time, a sure sign that I am getting older.  Anyways she looks at me, says, have I treated you before?,  then said, No, I don't think I have.  I say, no, I do believe you are right and what I am really thinking is NO, how could you, you just graduated from dental school, OMG!!  Anyways, other than the shots, she was very nice so I get to see her in two weeks to finish up my treatment.  One thing I always do is make sure I look in the mirror before I leave that building, fool me once, I tell you.  Because once I walked out with polish on my mouth/cheek and was on there the rest of the day until I got home!!!  My dentist/HMO clinic is by the the house I lived in before this one, not that far away but still enough.  I thought I would finish up my Easter grocery shopping at a store by there to save time and let me time you, you do not save time shopping in a store where you do not know where anything is!!  It was pouring rain after my shopping and a store employee was walking the customers out under their umbrellas, was that the sweetest you have ever heard of.  I did decline, I felt badly for her so  I got all wet anyways.  Phew, what a day. 

Please leave a note about  your Easter celebrations (or your dentist).  I am always delighted to hear from my readers.   Blessings, Jane
