Happy Easter and Resurrection Sunday!

Posted on by

Happy Resurrection Sunday and Easter everyone! How is everyone doing? Easter is definitely different this year. People are sharing on Facebook how their celebrations are changing. Churches in our area are not having services in a physical building but through social media. Personally I feel the physical church is just a structure. The church can gather in any manner. And our spring flowers have popped up just in time!

  • Three crosses
  • Flowers in the garden

The fireman held a nice parade on Saturday with the Easter Bunny and a parade of vehicles. It was unexpected! It is nice to see how the community comes together during this odd time of history.

As always I am searching for supplies for my mother and us. Right now we are in good shape but am thinking ahead a few months out. One of my favorite places is Grove Collaborative for my disinfectants and hand sanitizer. And of course I have several orders through Amazon for products to be delivered in May and June. The supply chain got hit hard with the unexpected surge in demand. Luckily I found a 50 pack of face masks and have more on order including material to make them. A friend made us some face masks which was very kind of her! Plus I am sharing a funny social distancing guidelines for Buffalonians! We are all about our food!

I just ended my fourth week of working from home. I spend most of my day in the computer room and then progress to the living at the end of the work day! It is rather amusing! At night I am busy updating recipes along with a price per serving. Hopefully this helps those who are looking to manage their food costs. I am working on a Carrot Cake made with Applesauce recipe that I hope to post soon. There was left over buttermilk so I made a batch of Buttermilk Pancakes that I can freeze and enjoy every day.
