Showing off a fancy twist

Water blasting the back verandah.  It needs a bomb blast!!  

Oiling red eggs to make them shine

And all we had to do was feed them

Fried calamari, fried potatoes and salad 

No meat, fish, eggs or cheese

Thank you Pappou K

They cleaned some more of the smaller rugs.

Poppi pruned the late blooming white bougainvillea 

Koulourakia on the conveyor belt

They've baked these Easter biscuits so many times they need no instructions. The girls set it all up, read the recipe, mix, roll, bake and clean up. 

I have to try and be quiet and not get in their way. 

They made 120 biscuits (cookies) 

Most of these are given away 

Nels dipping the boiled eggs in red dye. There were 34 of them today. All of them went to the grandkid's homes or were packed up to be given to others.

We will dye some more for our own home on Saturday 

They've grown up and flown away but come back happily to continue with Easter, Christmas and the many other traditions. 

The Dream Team roll up in the Dream Machine.

2 of them have their drivers licence. They no longer have to be driven up by Mama.

Now just hot cross buns to make
