As so many of us are gathering for the first holiday together in over a year, it's important to remember safety first as we take our first step together. The weather forecast for Easter looks to be 70 and gorgeous in the midwest. Our plan is to have our family scatter our chairs distanced in the yard. Normally we would each bring a favorite dish to pass and enjoy. Perhaps next year we can go back to that tradition. I offered to make up individual charcuterie trays for each family member. I found disposable two compartment containers with lids on Walmart.com as well as the brightly colored snack cups. The charcuterie trays will hold a variety of sliced deli ham, cheese slices, assorted crackers, grapes or strawberries and an Easter chocolate. Everyone can enjoy their tray at their leisure as well as a snack cup holding donut munchkins. My Dad is 88 years young, and still living in the house where myself and 4 siblings grew up. To be able to enjoy our Easter egg hunt in his yard means the world to us and to him. So as we move forward in a safe and positive way, I wish all of you a very Blessed Easter.
