We had a wonderful 60th wedding anniversary and it is not over yet. Joe (Andy's brother) and his wife will be married 60 years in May, so a family party is to be held in June or so I understand for the two couples that have lasted this long.
Madeleine, our great-granddaughter comes over on Saturday afternoons while her dad runs errands. We have never had a girl and so this two year old is the apple of our eyes. She will have some competition in October, however. And, today we learned it's a girl!!! Mckenna. Another perfect girl.
The daffodils are rampant this spring. Andy just picked a large bouquet for me and they are so welcome. I have been covered with flowers in the last two or three days. Love it.
There is a lot to get done around here after the winter we have had. One thing is a lovely new mailbox with a flower box attachment on one end. I hope the snow plows don't knock it over next winter. It was an anniversary present from Mike and Beth.
I made deviled eggs today and remembered, not in time, how much trouble they are to make. I made some and then put the rest into a big bowl of potato salad. Both went down pretty well. I have a big pot roast to turn into a nice soup tomorrow. Soups have been on the menu all winter and even easing into spring.
The family had a nice anniversary dinner at J. Gilbert's steak house. The food was really good and there were NO GREEN BEANS. Why are green beans always the sides in these restaurants? They are always limp or just blanched and either way tasteless. Fresh asparagus was on the side of my steak and very welcome.
