Easter Sunday

Here Kiwi and I sit once again in a quiet household, he's trying to tell me he knows the Colonel's 13 secret spices for KFC, but because they sell the dead carcasses of his distant cousins he will not partake of anything to do with eating chickens. He's kind of partial to his aviary brethren. 

Michelle and I are just going to have dinner here. Laura invited us to go up to Ellwood City today, but we have decided to stick around home and do our own thing here. Nothing too big, just a tiny little ham and a few deviled eggs and mashed potatoes. Chris and Jim are going up, Dani and Roy invited us to their house, but Michelle has plans for the leftover ham so we are going to do our own thing this year. 

Michelle did grocery shopping yesterday morning as I ran to Harry's to stock up the freezer. I know we get quality fresh meat with no preservatives, that's why we found our own butcher a couple of years ago and keep going back. The art of butchering has become a lost art, years ago your grocery store had a butcher shop, today not so much. I like going to a butcher that I know and does quality work, believe it or not it's actually more economical to got to a butcher, unless you go in and buy a cow or a pig and have it butchered is the only thing that tops a quality butcher. 

Michelle has gone nuts the past week doing Spring Cleaning, she even stripped down the bathroom and painted the walls a more gray color rather than the white that we had. Subtle change but it looks awesome. The whole house is decluttered, shampooed and Spring Cleaned. We have more functionality to the spare rooms rather than catch alls where we just throw everything. I'm about ready to hand her a pair of scissors and tell her to cut the grass tomorrow. She has washed about every blanket and comforter we have and the ones we are not using have been vacuum sealed with a dryer sheet so when we do use it it will be clean and fresh. 

Years ago I started using iGoogle as my start up page, I liked all their widgets and it was customizable. Google retired it about 10 years ago so I had to find an alternative so I have been using ighome ever since then. A couple of weeks ago their widgets, namely my bookmarks widget got hacked. I repaired all the links over the past week and Friday it got hacked again by some Japanese porn site, I lost all my links once again. Friday night I found a new startup page that I love, start.me is really amazing and more modern. It allows me to do everything that I want to do with a startup page and it's more customizable. If you like a startup page that's customizable, this may be worth a look. 

Have a great day.
