Yesterday was an absolutely picture perfect day. The weather was sunny, in the seventies, no humidity - the kind you would like to have all year round. Our guys all got here by 2:00 and we ate first. I had cooked a ham with pineapples and sliced it. We had hot ham, Swiss, and pineapple sandwiches in Kaiser rolls, yam pudding, veggies and dip, cheese and crackers, pie, and ice cream. Then I cooked the eggs and we had such a fun time painting eggs. It's the first time we've done it since our children are all grown up. In fact, our boys who only came to us as teenagers did not ever remember doing it before. Then the adults hid the eggs and later gave hints to J'von and Destiny as they searched for them. Frank got the cutest Easter eggs baskets for them. J'von's looked like a basketball and Destiny's like a soccer ball.
Later we had fun just sitting on the porch, talking, and laughing at J'von's antics. He is totally obsessed with football. He just loves to walk around with a football under his arm. And he can really throw it too. He's not even two years old yet!
In the evening Anthony and Lori went to Home Depot to use up a $500 reward from their American Express card. They got me a beautiful hanging planter for the porch.
Destiny and I went to Penneys to get her Easter dress. Everything was 50% off, and then there were scatch-off cards for additional discounts. I got a 30%!! So I got two dresses, gloves, a purse, and hair accesories for less than the cost of one dress!
Later we watched the movie "What About Bob?" and I finished up my music prep for Easter Sunday morning. Anthony and Lori stayed overnight, but left at 7:30 for their own church in State College. Lori was in charge of a children's Easter program.
We had a glorious Easter worship service. It's hard to beat ressurection music and messages. After church we took Destiny to Enid's, came home, ate, slept, and lazed around. Now we're getting ready to go to my sister Mary Ellen's for the evening.
Our children in Florida were going to George's mom Sharyn for Easter dinner today. I'm sure they were well fed. She is a superb cook.
Miki called from Sweden this afternoon and we chatted for a while. Maybe someday all our children will be able to come visit us at the same time. That would be a houseful, but I would love it.
