It only hit met yesterday, that tomorrow is Easter. With the end of semester and getting ready to drive to St. Louis a week from today, it just isn't on the top of my list this year.
I was reminded in my 'oh it's Easter' moment, of last year's Easter dinner party here on Columbus Street. The shot above is a little blurry, but it's the only shot of most of the gang that has Nadine in it. As you can see, everyone was having a good time. Nadine had brought cupcakes with plastic Easter Egg Rings on them. Everyone found very creative things to do with their cupcake favors. I'd made marinaded pork tenderloin for dinner.
Nadine pulled me aside and said that she didn't eat pork. I immediately remembered all those chicken breasts I'd been boiling for Dali those days. Nadine very sweetly looked down at Dali and asked her if she could share her dinner? Of course, the answer was yes. Nadine was a wonderful note, card and letter writer. I cherish all of the snail mail I've received from her over the years.
Much of it is at the Chatette, so I'll get to take a little trip down memory lane with Nadine when I return too. After the dinner, Dali and I received a very nice thank you note from Nadine. She teased about "taking the dinner" right out of Dali's mouth. Truth be told, we had way more than enough chicken for everyone at the party if they'd wanted it!
Dali and Nadine...Easter memories of my chicken girls. Missing you both at Easter, and always.
