It is ragingly hot in Texas, home of the Barbie Nation, so this is Annette's choice for Easter Sunday.  She is all set as long as she remembers that Sunday follows Saturday. Fortunately, things are very slow at work, so she hasn't had to worry about her lack of typing skills.  I'm sure she'll have several invitations for Eater dinner before the week is out.
