Happy Easter

The whole weekend was wonderful! Sarah, my daughter and her bf got here mid-day Saturday. They rented a car which made hubby happy. Her car is ok but he worries that it may fail on her and then she would be stuck! It's a 94 subaru and can be tempramental.
She had wonderful news! She has a new job. As soon as she gives her 2 wk. notice and serves it out she will be back working in the landscape area. A company in Ft. Worth hired her. It was her seconed interview. They had told her on the 1st one that they didn't have an area for her. But she made an impression and they called her back. Whoopie! A much better paycheck than the one she has now.
Saturday we drove to Salado, a small village near here, to walk and look into some wonderful shops and antique stores.
That evening we took them to Dynasty, a great chinese food place.
Sunday we got up early so I could start the bbq. I gave them each an Easter basket filled with candy and a windup chicken that walked laying eggs. LOL It was a lot of fun.
Dinner was perfect. BBQ'ed chicken, potato salad, beans and all the goodies that go with it. For dessert a pineapple pie that is sooooo good but easy to make. Recipe follows:
One pre made shortbread or graham cracker crust ( I use Keebler)
1 can of crushed pineapple
1 cup of sour cream
1 lg box of vanilla instant pudding
Mix the pineapple, sour cream and pudding,
pour into crust, let sit for several hours. (Refridgerate!)
It is really very good.
They left for home a little after 2 and she called that all was well, and she was home safe.
Our other granddaughter and her husband stopped by to wish us a Happy Easter.
All in all it was a super weekend.
Hope you all had the same.
