I am so glad you received your basket in time for Easter Crystal. I wish I could take credit for the bunny basket ,but can't . A elderly lady sells them to help make ends meet. I wish I had her talent. When my children were little my mother - in - law use to make them for my girls. I lost them after several moves. I wish I had kept them for their little girls. I brought another for my granddaughter. I will love them,and they bring back a lot of sweet memories.

The Bunny basket is adorable, Patti. Your elderly friend is certainly talented. Seeing her precise work makes me shut my mouth about how my hands hurt after knitting for a while. She is an inspiration!


Well it is clear that my box was the last to go out. It is mailed... But I am sure it will not be there by tomorrow. I am so sorry to be late. I had very good intentions,, but that is no excuse.

Bad Elfie... Sitting in corner.

If Elfie is sitting in the corner, I know she is busy.
I was very pleased with the bunny basket and the hang up towels--well everything. It is a great gift, and next time you see the woman who made it, tell her how much I liked it.

I have been feeling lonely the past couple days. Thinking about my family and the fact that most of the originals now are resting in the cemetery at Macedonia. My brother is busy with his little boy and all the egg hunts,etc. My nephew wants to go to a tractor show instead of having lunch with me (I told him was fine, I will be here, but tractor show is not every weekend). Kids i do not hear from much (as much as I would like). So yesterday I worked in the yard til I was about ready to drop. Then came in and cooked supper. That will make me drop the pity party.
I also made a coconut cake, because that and ham are Easter foods for me. I made one of those punch cakes where you use Lopez cream of coconut and topped with Kool whip and cococnut. I am sure it is artery clogging, but once a year should not matter so much. yummm! So good.

Kris, your working so hard, I know your trying to get the new house installed and liveable.
But please tll me about the punch cake? And lopez cream of coconut?

(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

well off to walk out the kinks back later today .

Coconut Lopez cake

make a sheet cake. A boxed cake is Ok. I used Duncan Hines Coconut, but any yellow cake (or white) is fine. French Vanilla would be good or made from scratch.
Combine a can Lopez cream of coconut (any cream of coconut is OK), and a can sweetened condensed milk.
After cake is done, but still hot, punch holes all over the cake using a fork and pour cream coconut and condensed milk mixture over the warm cake.
After it cools a bit, put kool whip on top and sprinkle with coconut.
store in refrigerator

Not exactly rocket science, but fast, easy, delicious.

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

That sounds nice, but I had to Google cream of coconut, I had never heard of it before.

(Crystal) Waverly, AL

The only way I ever heard it was from this recipe. maybe you make mixed drinks out of it? That is where it is in the grocery store

(Pat) Kennewick, WA(Zone 5b)

Ohhhhhhhh my that sounds good!! Wishing I had read this in time for the dinner guests we are having in a just a few hours!

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Well, poo on that old rabbit!

(Pat) Kennewick, WA(Zone 5b)

"slightly" off topic but Goober's question if the Easter Bunny like Santa, reminded me. I saw a St Patrick's day card that said, "It's OK to pretend to be Irish on St Patty's Day.....(inside) You pretend to be good at Christmas!"

family was here yesterday, my house is back in order now. Linda (Taters) they all ooooo'd & Awwwww'd over my Pretty Easter eggs I used as center piece. You know, it's a LOT easier looking over a Easter egg basket center piece than a big blooming Easter Lily!!! hehehe Thanks again, they are lovely.

Smiths, AL

Lol i love you guys and i hope you post pictures of the basket psychw2:)

(Crystal) Waverly, AL

My turn! This is so funny. When our mail lady pulled in the driveway, she hopped out and said she had something for me and handed over several dozen eggs from her farm. Then she unloaded a big box that was half plastered with stamps. We have a neighbor who collects and tried to save most of them for her. One glance at the return address and I couldn’t wait to come in out of the wind and dive in.

There were three bunny ornaments, just perfect for a container of flowers or placed in one of my friendship bowls. Aren’t these just the cutest? Rabbits are among my favorite garden critters, strictly ornaments and not the real furry ones.

A chocolate bunny. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I always bite the head off first.

A gorgeous ceramic lamb was just chocked full of green Easter grass and candy, all sorts from Mint to Hazelnut one of my favs, Snickers to Peanut Butter, lots of chocolates, and even jelly beans and gummies in their own eggs. There’s enough candy to last us six months. Hubs will get some too but will never find the bag in the freezer.

Thank you, Elfie. Love it all but the Lamb is just awesome! I am grateful for the gifts you shared and for our friendship.
