HAPPY EASTER

Our front window

Hope you all had a great day today.  My day began in church (of course).  Pastor Justin's family was visiting him from Auburn, NY and they helped him with the worship music this morning.  It was awesome!  His brother played the drums, his sister played the flute, Pastor Justin played the guitar and Elder Bud played the piano.  We were all complimenting them and telling them we wished they lived closer so they could do this every week!

 Joe was the elder to do the prayer and scripture reading today.

I wanted to get a picture of us together in our Easter outfits, but everyone wanted to talk to Joe and then the person I was going to ask to take it left.  It got later and later.  Then Joe had to go into a meeting with one of the other elders and the pastor.  I quick grabbed him and took a picture of us together.  It's not the best ever, but at least it's a picture.  Boy do I look like my mom in this.

After church we ran to Shop Rite and finished up the shopping for dinner.  Then we finished cleaning up the house.  Well...  as much as we had time to do anyway.  Let's just say it looks a lot better than it did.  I am not a good housekeeper and have never claimed to be.  But I do my best.  Unfortunately, doing my best has given me a great deal of pain in my wrist.  I just can't seem to win.

Joe gave me a beautiful egg for Easter.

 
He always finds the greatest eggs.  He gives me a new one each year.  Here is the first one he gave me a few years back.  It is a blown out chicken egg that has been painted in the Ukrainian style.  Of course I have to have a Pooh bunny with it.  I love Pooh.

Thought I'd show you the wreath on my door too.  I think it's so pretty.

 

Walt and Carole came for dinner.  I made ham, asparagus and mashed sweet potatoes.  They brought vegetable soup and tons of desserts.  Everything was so good and I was really stuffed!

My sister, Elaine, is here visiting me too.  We are going to have so much fun tomorrow.

I have more pictures to show you, but I really have to end and get to bed.    Tomorrow is another day.  Wait till you see what we do.
