Of Easter Eggs and Little Lambs

Two Holy Saturday projects: coloring Easter Eggs and making the traditional lamb cake. First the eggs. Hmm...what color for this one? Pink? We colored the last one pink and the one before that and the one before that. Guess what color is the favorite?




Next comes the traditional lamb cake which I haven't made in a few years and almost forgot about until someone, I think Alice, mentioned it. Ah, yes...I can do that. First get out the lamb pan, the cake mix, the decorator tips and bags and then go to work.







Bake the cake and after it cools do a light frosting coat to reduce crumbs. Oops, no coconut to make the "grass" for the completed cake. No problem...sprinkles are good anywhere, anytime! And the lamb becomes the centrepiece for the Easter table.





And another little lamb dressed in her Easter finery.

4th of July: a race to the finish

If you want to see how we spent fourth of July, visit Frodo 7 to see some Kreitzer family traditions.

I wasn't there for the Winchester fun run this year which takes place bright and early in the morning. Instead, I attended a funeral for the son (age 18) of some friends. Alexander died from injuries in an ATV accident. For him the race has been run and he's crossed the finish line. Please pray for the repose of his soul and for the comfort of his family.
