My brother had to work today, so we celebrated Easter yesterday evening. I hosted this year and we had the usual Eastery-type foods. I took Friday off to clean and prep some food. That was probably unnecessary, but I didn’t have to rush around on Saturday, so it was worth it.
Easter symbolizes spring, right? I hope spring gets here soon! I have been cooped up in the house far too long. We’ve had a couple of nice days but they were during the week so I didn’t get to enjoy them.
This was a pretty good story. And, it didn’t have a ton of characters to keep track of, like Grafton’s stories often do.
I’m ahead of schedule with my book reading this year. I try to read at least one (fiction) book a month–I read a bunch of non-fiction, too, but I don’t document it here–and this is the 6th (fiction) book I’ve finished in 2024!

The office kitchen walls have been painted. They’re the lovely Aloha color from Behr. So, now the kitchen looks like it belongs in a beach house. I’m really happy with how it turned out–I wasn’t sure I was going to like the color. Brian helped me paint and it still took 3 hours (the room has a lot of stuff to paint around). I still have to paint the floor, window, and door trim (I already did the crown molding), but that will happen in the coming weeks (weekends, actually).
On Saturday night, I watched the last of the John Wick movies that are available to me. He sure had to kill a lot of people in this one! The one thing I don’t like about this series is how they sort of tout his dog sidekick, but then the dog hardly has any scenes. Much like the 2nd movie in the series, I could probably use a break between these, but it is what it is. We’ll see how I feel about the 4th one once I’m able to watch it.

The nonprofit I’m involved with had a Kick the Keg fundraiser at The Fifth last night. They donated a keg of beer and we received all proceeds from the sale of beer from that keg. We haven’t gotten the numbers yet, but there was a pretty good turnout thanks to The Evergreens donating their time to perform during the event. Our donation box received way more donations than I expected. So, I’d deem this fundraising effort a success based on that.
