Comments: I love the colors, and I love the way the yarn does that little flash thing around the heel. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of this yarn.

I’m about to start The Baking of The Shortcake for The Strawberry Shortcake, which will be one of the desserts at today’s Easter dinner at Judy’s house. There will be regular food, too, but I’m counting on the chocolate, myself.

Shortcake is one of my mom’s favorites, and she used to make a good one, so big and messy and luscious that it might topple. I hope my effort can do hers justice. Happy Easter, dear Gig!

Happy Easter, everyone! Happy Birthday, Niece L!
