We had a very nice Easter and I hope all of you did too. It was a quiet Easter with just four of us, but we ate like there were 20 of us.
I made the recipe for Carne Adovada that I had in my food column a week or so ago and it was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Mom made her famous pinto beans and we also had rice. Noelia made homemade tortillas and guacamole. We all had to have naps after eating. I was even too full for Mom’s strawberry pie, but not to worry, because I had some later.

I was very impressed with the Easter Egg Hunt and Carnival that was held on Friday. The RISD ACE Tigers After-School, Girl Scouts and the Rockdale Chamber of Commerce are to be commended because the event was hugely successful.

I got my weekends mixed up and showed up at Veter an’s Park to take pictures of the Rockdale Police Department’s Family Funfest which is actually this coming weekend on Saturday, April 23 from noon to 4 p.m. The RPD has partnered with Aware Central Texas which is a non-profit crime victims’ advocate group who work to provide response and services to victims of violence and trauma. In honor of National Crime Victims Rights Week the two organizations will provide games, food and family fun. Sounds like a fun day to me.
What I actually walked into on Saturday at the park was a gender reveal party for my friend Shellie Whorton Jones’ daughter, Jessie, and her husband Cody. And guess what? It’s a girl! Congratulations to all.
