An Easter Table


After a fabulous Holy Week at Trinity Episcopal Church in Baton Rouge, the stage is now set for a joyous FESTIVAL DAY on Sunday (one of my fave hymns:  Hail Thee Festival Day!). We've taken the easy way out this year and have a  ham on reserve at our retailer just down the road!  All of the side dishes are made; the only thing to do is heat the ham, heat the casseroles, the rolls, and make the butter curls!  Much more laid back than Christmas, for some reason!  The table is already set, and we are ready!  The Headmaster and I will be singing the Easter Vigil tomorrow night, as well as the main Easter service on Sunday.  It has truly been a wonderful Holy Week.  God bless all of you!

    This is so much up my alley. I love the baskets at each individual place.
    Good idea about ordering the ham. I sort of do that. I go to Mom's house, and SHE cooks the ham.

    Visiting from Let's Dish. I enjoyed "meeting" you!

      Thank you, Shirley! They were from the Dollar Tree; eight for a dollar! I filled them with 'appropriate' goodies, and everyone loved them!!!

    I don't know what I like best, the pretty blue glassware or the big yellow chargers, or the festiveness (is that a word?) of the whole table!
