Last nite was 1st nite of Passover (the Last Supper)
Clean house, get good dishes out, silverware-ditto, move furniture around, bring chairs, prep all fresh veggies, cook 12 lbs lamb, make matzo ball soup, etc., etc.
All the grandkids and family arrive 7 pm and the last left about 1 am.
Today, clean-up and put things back to livable conditions. Small house hard to do sit-down for 18 with all the little ones underfoot. Not much room to move.
Two dinner tables, one in kitchen & one in D.R.
I'm bushed. RLS getting to bed last nite, feet on fire like burning coals. Calves felt like I ran the marathon. Woke up sore all over. Couldn't sleep late.
Its nice to have the family all get together for this holiday, but
its a lot more work than buffet style. I'm just on automatic today. what gets done, gets done.
Have to visit my crippled son sometime today, & bring him a 'goodie bag' saved from dinner for him.
Just venting. Gotta go & empty dishwasher - got 2 more loads, & hand wash all the inherited 'antique' china. It just got a fast 'rinse' last nite.
