So when my stepsister Karla gave birth to my most handsome nephew Grayson on Thursday of this past week, all Easter meal plans went out the door. With Karla in the hospital through the Easter holiday . . . well, the meal just had to come to her. So with all of us crammed into a hospital room (albeit at Northside Women's Center, the rooms are more like upscale hotel rooms), we ate a veggie tray, ham, baked beans, potato salad, rolls, lemon squares, and drank mimosas. This little boy, with his dimples and full head of hair is quite the melt-your-heart kinda baby. (Harleigh's in love.) And Karla and her husband Lynn have taken to parenthood as if they've done it before. What a great story to tell Grayson, EVERY Easter, without fail, no matter how many times he looks at us like "do you really have to tell that story again?"
The picture above is the peony I took, fresh from my rain-soaked garden.
