Easter!

I'm finally back. This has been a very exhausting week. I took the day off yesterday and worked like crazy around my house getting ready for Easter.

I started at 645AM prepping my baking. I baked two devil's food cakes and two of my famous Imperial Pound cakes (see an old Blogger post for the recipe). By the time I finished with everything around 10AM, I had to turn on the air conditioner, because the house was hot and stuffy. We reached a record high of 92 degrees (F) yesterday, when normally, this time of year, it's about 66 degrees.

After I did that, I emptied trash, cleaned the floors, washed dishes and proceeded to dye a couple dozen eggs after I had gotten my errands run and shopping completed. Then, it was off to pick up Bubba (not his real name) , take him out to the fish fry for dinner and bring Dad's home (since he was feeling under the weather).

Later in the evening, after I went back to the store to pick up the forgotten strawberries I need for strawberry shortcake Sunday, I put them and all the other stuff I bought away and Bubba (not his real name) and I proceeded to make a powdered sugar glaze for the devil's food cakes. We dyed some purple (since one cake was for Sis--it's her favorite color) and some green. He really enjoyed stirring the dye in and watching the glaze change color.
