Easter

Easter was wonderful in our new community. We took our grandson to the outdoor sunrise service on the golf course. We walked there at 6:30 am since it wasn't too far and then sat in the 30 degree temps for the service. The sunrise was spectacular - a sunrise service was the first for us and we liked it so much we are planning on it again for next year - we'll try to get more family to join us.

Afterwards we went home to warm up, then to 'regular' church and then on to our Easter dinner at our daughter-on-law's parents' house with lots of family gathered around. Both our sons were thousands of miles away and couldn't be with us, but we had our grandchildren and other family with us. Drew should be back home next year and hopefully we can get Mark here, too. We did get to interface with Drew on the computer Easter morning and we talked with Mark the day before, but we still missed them. Memories of their childhoods always flood back on family holidays.

The days are trying to get warmer, but the nights still freeze - at least the days are mostly sunny. We do love living here!
