RESURRECTION DAY

I hope you all had a wonderful Resurrection Day.  Mine was... different.  I was still hurting pretty badly so decided because it was cold and damp I would not go to Sonrise Service.  I still got up and got ready though.  I told Joe I wasn't going and since he hadn't gotten enough sleep, he went back to bed.

I went over to pick up the two ladies I bring to church.  I told them I would drop them off, go home and come back for the morning service.  We went to the church lot and no one was there.  So I pulled over, parked and we waited.  After a few minutes we saw Pastor walking toward us.  He said that it was too cold and damp to have the service outside and we should pull around to the church because we would have it inside.  So that's what we did.  And when I saw there were only a few people there, I decided to stay.  I was glad I did because it was a beautiful service.  I did take a picture of the church on my phone because -- I STILL CAN'T FIND MY CAMERA.

We had a breakfast at church following the service.  I went home to get Joe and a muffin because I couldn't eat what they had there.  I shouldn't have, though, because when we came back I saw there was sausage and bacon and fruit and pastry and I could eat all of that.  Joe and I are really watching our eating habits, so we had the fruit and not the pastries.  I love sausage, but Joe doesn't so I don't get it a lot.  But I did indulge on Sunday.  The fruit was so fresh and good.

We had a lovely morning worship service.  Our guest speaker was great.  I used Joe's camera to film it and uploaded it to our youtube channel.  The link to it is HERE if you would like to see it.  It's about 30 minutes long.

Sunday afternoon we went to a late lunch/early dinner with our friends Carole and Walt.  We ended up at Cracker Barrel which was their choice.  But we didn't mind because we really like Cracker Barrel.  We went to the one nearest us in New Jersey.  Driving along we noticed all the restaurants along Route 73 and I said to Joe when the weather gets better we really must try some of them.

There were a lot of people at Cracker Barrel when we got there and we had to wait awhile to get seated, but it was fine.  We had to wait awhile to get waited on too.  It was crowded.  By the time we were leaving, it was starting to empty out and we said if we do this again, we are going later.  Joe got the Sunday chicken dinner with baked sweet potato and fried okra.  Carole got catfish with fried apples and mashed potatoes.  Walt got scrambled eggs, bacon, grits and fried apples.  I got one pork chop, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.  Everything was wonderful.  We had a gift card, so it cost us $2.14 for dinner.  Not bad.

On the way home the sky started clouding up.  I took a couple of pictures of the sky as we were driving along.

I was looking up because we were right on the flight path for Philadelphia International Airport and the planes were coming in low for their landings.  You could see all the landing gear and the flaps on the wing tips.  I was trying to get a picture of them, but they were too fast.  I love the clouds though.

And yes, they were snow clouds.  We got about an inch of snow yesterday.  It was just on the grass, though, and by the afternoon was all gone.  It's too warm these days for it to last long.  I heard we may have more snow this weekend, though.  It's just a nuisance now.

Yesterday was a down day for me.  I just had to rest from all the running around last week.  Today is another busy day and I have a feeling tomorrow will be a down day too.  Today I begin with Bible Study, then rush home to take Joe to his doctor's appointment at the V.A. Hospital.  After that we have food shopping to do and then at 5:30 we joined a free class at our new supermarket held by the dietician on diabetes control.  Since Joe has diabetes and I do the shopping and cooking, we thought this was a good idea.  It's going to be held every Tuesday in April.  We will miss the last class since we will be away, but 3 out of 4 is good.  I love this new store!

So now I will get off of here and get ready for my class.  And yes, I am missing all of my study materials from last week.  The entire tote bag is missing.  I had to reprint the hand out items.  I sat down and cried last night.  It's not even that I have tons of things in my living room.  It may be a little messy, but I have moved everything, picked up everything, looked in everything and each day something else turns up missing.  It's so discouraging.  To top it off I'm having muscle spasms and pain in my shoulders, arms, chest, hands and back today.  But with God's help I will get through this and I will find my things.  Please pray for me if you think of it.

Until later...
