Easter at Ty Watson House

3/28/2016

This weekend, I was invited to the Easter dinner at Ty Watson House for all residents, families, and staff.

The house was packed with people of all ages - sneaking goodies and chatting away while we waited for dinner to be served. In the kitchen, staff and volunteers put together appetizers - and sharpened the knives - and generally had a good time. (Who doesn't love the kitchen at TWH? Especially when Gail is there to direct/feed you...)

Speaking of Gail (our kitchen supervisor) - she put on an amazing meal as usual!
​A table full of appetizers, then a full dinner of turkey, ham, potatoes, stuffing - all the trappings you'd expect of a family feast - topped off with a huge assortment of desserts. 

On our way out, we commented on how we wanted to eat more, but were already stuffed. (I had the tiramisu and a lemon tart, but what about the carrot cake, pumpkin pie, brownies, etc.???)

The gardens were in full Spring mode, too. Daffodils and bright decor made the garden very inviting.
There's something special about holidays at Ty Watson House. Despite the large, mixed group - residents, volunteers, staff - it always feels like a family gathering.
I didn't get together with my parents this year for easter, so it was nice to "come home" to Ty Watson House. :)
