After an extremely rainy start to April, we had a beautiful sunshine-filled day yesterday, and today is looking to be the same.

Our trip home for Easter was lovely.  As always, it felt like it went by too fast and I didn’t get to see all the people that I wanted to visit with.  (That’s always the way when we make these quick weekend-trips to Erie.)

I spent a lot of time with my parents and grandparents.  I dyed Easter eggs, which is something I haven’t done in years.  Grandma Rita taught me how to crochet her “famous” dish scrubbers (which you can download the pattern for here if you like).  Sunday night we had a girls’ night — my mom, Erica, Melanie, Chrissy, and I hung out and had lots of laughs.  It was a heck of a good time.
