We cranky old loners have to stick together on the holidays, right Joe?

Hubby and I are just puttering around the house. For dinner, we're having
a lamb roast with mint sauce (MIL's recipe), new potatoes, and peas.

Back when our families were still alive, we used to color Batik eggs. You
draw on the eggs in melted wax, and then dip them in the dye. You can
dye them three or four times, drawing patterns on them between each dip,
and you end up with multi-colored, patterned eggs.

They can be quite beautiful.

Now, I'm afraid that I don't even dig out the decorations anymore. It's just us.
