I remember *some* history, but sometimes I have to use google to see what was happening at the time. The TV show is pretty darned close to reality!

The show has delt with Henry's leg wound/ulcers, but didn't say why or at least if it did, I missed it. So, I looked it up last night to see if that was true to reality and to see if there was a "cause" for the wound. And it was - true to reality! Also, in real life there was no "cause" for the ulcers - just speculation. But he did have then on both legs, not just one. So again, the TV show was spot on, even not giving a reason for the leg ulcer.

I also wanted to see if the TV show delt accurately with the beheading of Cromwell and again, it did.

Glen's family went on their annual Easter picnic on Saturday. I didn't go......for one, I don't enjoy being around his family....and for two, I had to get ready to have Easter dinner at my house. We decided to have Mexican food so that was different for us. I have a wonderful recipe for enchiladas so I made those all up on Saturday. I also made some ranch style beans.

On Sunday after church the girls brought cheese dip and chips, taco salad, and guacamole. Then for dessert Mom brought cherry pie and that chocolate pudding dessert with cream cheese. Amy brought a grasshopper cake, that was wonderful, and the twins made cookies.

Jaci and Nate hid candy for the kids, even the bigger ones, so they had a big Easter Egg hunt. Of course, we all sat around and held Baby Dean!!! Then we got out the four-wheelers and went for a ride. Glen and I were on one, Dae Lynn and Damon, Jaci and Nate, and Amy had little Karlie with her. We went for a ride down by the river and, believe me, it was quite a ride!!! We went through some things that I was yelling "No, let me off!!" Glen didn't listen and we went through it all anyway!!! It ended up being really fun but I've been really sore since then!!!

After that we came home and snacked around for supper and then everyone started going home. It was a good day!! I really enjoyed not having my brother and his family here. We are more free to do other things when they're not here.

The house is a mess......I watched my little adoped Granddaughter (I'll explain when I post some pictures) yesterday......and I have Care Group this coming weekend......and I just want to be outside!!!!
