Winston Churchill’s greatest nemesis arrived at our house over the weekend in a way that has taken us all by surprise.  We are taking Very Big Steps to remove the beast from our lives – some of them, by necessity, fairly public.  And I suppose that by refusing to wallow helplessly in emotional ruination, our future political careers are ruined now, instead.  Darn.

So, are there still laughing babies, and whiskey barrels newly seeded? Yes. (Here’s four babies laughing at once, as a matter of fact.)

Are we comforting ourselves with Easter chocolate?  Some…  but even now, we’re sticking to our guns on the slave chocolate issue– my kids even more than I!  Several people tried giving my daughter various chocolate gee-gaws, the kind mass-produced somewhere overseas, of equal parts chocolate and plasticine, but *very* festively wrapped.  She decided to accept them, but did so with such a funny expression on her face that it made me want to giggle and cry at the same time.  I’m sure it confused the heck out of her benefactors.  Fortunately, I’d planned ahead so we had generous reserves of non-slave-chocolate “Green & Blacks” bars (the best!!!)  and lots of other candy as well.  So really, it was no great loss. 

A good friend who lives too far away just emailed me a casserole.  Just the thing. (Thanks!)
