Houses of Shiller Park

Shiller Park is located in Columbus, Ohio. It's a large square park lined by beautiful houses.
Several are very elegant...
Many have large porches...

fancy roofs and chimneys...
Some with smaller, cozy porches and patios
But all of them were very well groomed and taken care of...

In the center there are beautiful flower gardens and fountains.
I really enjoyed spending time there taking photos!

Enjoy your weekend !!

Since I'll be working on Easter....


I decided to make my holiday dinner today. I usually make ham and potato salad for Easter, but I've been hungry for macaroni salad, so I made it instead.
I'm picky about my recipe, there are so many versions out there.

Here’s the recipe I used. It’s not exactly there, but it’s close:
4 cups cooked elbow macaroni
4 hard-boiled eggs,chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
Dressing:

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 and 1/2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1and 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix together and chill for at least 4 hours before serving, but preferably overnight.

Hint ***
I used my dough blender from Pampered chef to chopped my eggs, and it worked really well !

And I made a batch of Lemon Squares for dessert!

" In the line of duty....."

All of Pittsburgh is saddened as we mourn the loss of three city police officers that were slain on Saturday.

Friends and family of slain officers Paul J. Sciullo II, Eric Kelly and Stephen Mayhle watch as the officers are brought into the City-County Building for a public viewing.
Mourners pass through the City-County building where the three City of Pittsburgh police officers who were killed on Saturday, lay in state.
