Easter 2015

A bittersweet Easter — our first one in many years without Kelli and Patrick, who moved to Virginia, and one that came only a few days after the death of my cousin, Michael. Still, we cooked, gathered and celebrated, and a good crowd — Boo, Catherine, Trae, Marissa, Graham and their boys — gathered at the Ranch for a big feast.

I felt thankful for family and friends.
