Easter Party . . .
Jan and I left the rig about 10 am, heading down to Katy for Brandi’s big Easter Party.
Earlier in the morning, Chris posted this Easter photo of our granddaughter Miss Piper. Looks like she’s about 5 or so. A cutie then, and a cutie now.
Brandi had done a really great job on the several table settings, staying with the Easter theme.

And our son Chris came with this really neat ‘Peep’ Cake. And it tasted great too.

We ended up with about 25 friends and family, and probably enough food for a couple of dozen more.

And of course everyone had fun catching up since last year.

Later in the afternoon, the Easter Egg Hunt was on.

And then Landon got to sort through all his loot.

There were some packages waiting for me at Brandi’s, and I think this time I finally got the correct shear pins for our slide. At least they look like they’re the right size.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to install it (I got two spares) before we leave here tomorrow morning, but I’ll take care of it before we leave Colorado River.
The other thing I got in the mail was my new Square credit card reader for my phone. If you’ve been using one of these, you need to go online and request a new one. Your present one will not work after June 1st.
Tomorrow morning we’ll make the 120 mile trip back to the Colorado River TT park for a couple of weeks before finally heading north to Goshen, IN for the 54th Escapade starting May 12th.

Laid-Back Saturday . . .
Not much at all happened today. Just a nice, quiet day around the rig.
It was nice enough outside that Mister stayed outside on his leash until it got hot enough for the AC in the rig to come on, then we brought him inside, much to his displeasure. He really likes being outside, but we’re always outside with him, or leave the door open, at least. Many times we leave the screen door open and he just comes in on his own. Otherwise he knows to bang on the screen door to be let in.
Jan spent part of the afternoon making her Sausage Balls and Squash Casserole for tomorrow’s Easter get-together at Brandi’s. If we showed up without the Sausage Balls, there might be rioting. The first thing some people ask coming in the door is, “Are the Sausage Balls here yet?”
While she was working on that, I went into Conroe to get $5.00 in quarters and ten $1 scratch-off tickets. Jan puts the quarters and scratch-offs into individual plastic eggs that will be hidden for the kids to find at tomorrow’s Easter Egg hunt.
The scratch-offs are for $500 a week for 20 years, i.e. $520,000. I told Jan I wondered how we’d feel if someone won the big prize from a ticket we gave them. Then I figured we could just tell the kid we’d give him this whole bag of candy for that piece of cardboard. Hopefully he’d fall for it.
For dinner I heated up some of the Rudy’s BBQ we got on Wednesday. Along with that we also had a can of Bush’s Bourbon and Brown Sugar Grillin’ Beans. Even better, we’ve still got enough for another meal.
Later, for dessert, Jan and I split one of the Tres Leches that we got at Randall’s yesterday. Very good Tres Leches.
Tomorrow Jan and I will head down to Brandi’s about 10am for the big Easter meal. Then Monday morning we’ll head back over to the Colorado River TT park for a week or so.
