the first sign that we were celebrating. ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070459 Next, Katie Camille appeared after an endless journey back from Burkina Fasa ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070460 with much luggage in tow ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070461 and the food preparations began with pineapple

../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070470 but the peeps still stood guard ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070471 as the table ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070472 now waited for the salad plates ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070473 and asparagus ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070474 and strawberries ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070475 were a sign that tomatoes could be added to the salad plates (fish still to come, no doubt). ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070476 Sadly the computer chose this minute to collapse ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070477 but the peeps got company ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070478 and so did we as Jeff arrived with his brother, his nephew and Wellington. ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070479 The flowers they brought made Suzanne feel good ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070480 as Wellington posed with Jane ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070481 and the fish was served ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070482 while the assembled visited in the living room ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070483

../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070508 and the chocolate ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070509 revved me up for an artistic view of the table ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070510 and those who came to feast on Easter. ../../../Sabbat/2011/04.23-24.11EasterFeaster//P1070511
