Concentrating on a wish!
Whew, this last weekend was exhausting! Maybe that's why it took until Wednesday to mention it!
Good Friday was Vanessa's Birthday,
Saturday we began to paint an entire wall plum, and Sunday was Easter when I didn't hide eggs for the first time in a huge amount of years..sigh..Friday, we went to a wonderful Greek Restaurant in Calgary called The Broken Plate, and it was beautiful!
We had the Tzatziki (classic Greek cucumber yogurt dip) Melatzano (baked eggplant,cream cheese) Hommus (chickpea, tahini, cumin, and garlic dip)Kopanisto (grilled red pepper, feta, and smooth cheese) and grilled pitas to go with the dips!
We all had Entrées which were amazing, and a wonderful dessert of banana Nutella crepes(with a sparkler they lit from the bottom up) to split 6 ways (I mean, c'mon, there was birthday cake later!)
Vanessa even got to break a plate after supper as a symbol of material things being unimportant and the importance of family and friends! If you look closely, you'll see the fateful Visa card in hand!
Saturday was spent prepping a wall
for this beautiful plum coloured paint to take the place of what used to be a white feature wall.
I don't know what feature wall means, but it sounds good when you want to pretend you know something about interior design! We painted one coat.Sunday I got up early to make the braided bread with Easter eggs in it. I put the eggs in the bread a little too early, (when the bread was still slightly warm)
so parts of the bread looked a bit moldy when the blues and greens leached a bit! We got past that - well....I got past that!Finally, we painted the second and last coat of paint, and by the time we were finished,
we just sat and ate Easter chocolate and admired our wall.It was a wonderful weekend, and Monday still came much too early!
