Egg Salad Sandwiches

The weather was great, the sun came out and I felt like I could conquer the world! Does anyone else feel like that when the weather is good?

If you are ever having trouble setting up for anything, just buy flowers! I like getting them from Trader Joe’s, they are surprisingly affordable and have so much beautiful variety. To set the table, I mostly…
