Supper for Ten
 
Though I've been visiting for decades, I'd never been at Easter. There's a family tradition of donning hats from the past decades and it added a cheerful twist to the gathering. Here's Richard, reading a card.

Listening

to Tim while preparing a dish

Rachel wearing many hats

and hatless

She is the baker who made our desert,
this blueberry delight in a shortbread crust
.
Leone, on the far left next to Roger and Melissa Latour
 
made all our place cards

Tim and Rachel look on as Nina snaps a shot of Jason

Guests brought floral gifts

First a toast with 'Lemoncello' (a lovely liquor I'd never tasted) that Nina brought and Oh, how we ate!
Honey mustard Glazed ham, two dishes of rich scalloped potato, green beans and Salmon. Very New England and very delicious.

Jason got lost in a Lemony Snicket adventure.
 
Others just sat contented...
.
...stunned and happy.
