Holy Thursday.... work day
Traditionally the day to dye all those eggs. Traditionally the colour is red
Chief Easter Bunny
Traditional day for traditional koulourakia too
The little easter bunnies getting into action, Nels and Poppi
Factory line
Because they've got butter and eggs they not supposed to be eaten till after midnight on Saturday
I can assure you they're delicious, buttery, crisp on the outside, orangey and aromatic
The Easter bunnies had a Nana-list
Moving round the heavy pots in the garden and doing some pruning
Changing the duvet cover
Searching out stuff at the back of the cupboard
Scrubbing a few winter rugs
Poppi doing what she's told to by her big sister
Poppi says she is NOT doing what her sister is telling her to do. Pritz! NEVER
They cleaned up everything before they left, did all the dishes, hung the rugs over the gate to drip dry. I was exhausted just watching them
Grandkids grow up and move on. It's absolutely wonderful when they return
The koulourakia sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteThey are delicious.
DeleteI love all my grandsons, but none of them bake cakes for me, or sweep my rugs. Where did we go wrong!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, you needed a granddaughter too to pull them into line and arrange the work party
DeleteThose koulourakia look professional. How do you not eat them fresh and warm?
ReplyDeleteI eat them fresh and warm and so does most of the family. It's the Patriarch who keeps the tradition alive
DeleteWhen they're little, grandchildren come when their parents bring them, and enjoy their visits. When they grow up, they come because they wish to and they enjoy helping, too.(or taking over!!)
ReplyDeleteThat's it! They do seem to enjoy themselves and they wouldn't come if they didn't. Taking over, you're right there too, smile
Delete(I’m crossing fingers again- not sure where my comments are going but it’s not on your blog)
ReplyDeleteYou’ve definitely got them well trained😊.
One of my grandsons just gave us another gt granddaughter today. He was hoping for a son but I’m sure he’ll love his little girl in the same way. Showing her off at the footy club next weekend I bet!
Cathy, I'm sure I answered comments from you. I'll have to check. They're not in the spam folder
