Last Look at Easter... Tablescape....

 

Above is a picture of the newly engaged couple at our table....

What a beautiful day...  Many thanks to the Lord for our precious family and friends.  We were able to visit with several who hadn't been here in a while...  Our dinner was a big hit...  The Irish Sweetheart said "yes..."  and the photos by each plate were from last year's Easter Dinner....  It's time for all good little bunnies to hop away to bed for another year...  And for this bad ole bunny (me) to do the same...  I be tired!
