It was another beautiful day in State College. Dick called from work and said there was a fraternity doing a car wash for a donation on the sidewalk at Pep Boys. My car really needed a good wash, so I went. They were having so much fun.
This will be a very different Easter for me. Since it's Dick's work weekend we are up here. He does, however, only have to work from 3 - 6 tomorrow, so we will actually be able to go to church together tomorrow morning, for which I am very, very happy. But I will have no responsibilities for the Easter service! That probably has not happened in thirty or more years!
With one exception. In 2001 we (Dick and I, Anthony, Jeremy, Ray, foster daughter Maggie, and baby Destiny) drove to Charlotte, NC for Easter. Lisa and George lived there for one year and we spent Easter with them. (I so remember the worship team at their church doing Crown Him with Many Crowns. I have probably used that song every Easter season since then.) We had so much fun on that trip. How I wish I had my photo albums here so I could scan some pictures and post them. Destiny was only six months old, and I asked to take her along on the trip since things were majorly falling apart for Frank and Destiny's mom. We all fell so in love with her that weekend.
She has probably spent every Easter of her life with us. But this year she's with her mom. Next weekend we'll do our traditional Easter egg painting and egg hunt.
Tomorrow is hat day at Anthony and Lori's church. I have never worn a hat for church in my entire life (except the Mennonite covering of my earlier years). But Lori got me a hat, a big, pink, floppy hat that she thinks looks adorable. She promised me there will be much bigger hats there tomorrow. Hmmmm.

Have a wonderful day! I can't wait to see you in that hat.
Happy Easter to the whole Stauffer gang!
Happy Easter Jean and Dick. But I wonder why the Garages have to be open on Sunday at all and expecially on Easter Sunday.
It's Pep Boys, Joanne. They are open every day of the year except Thansgiving and Christmas. When someone has a break down when travelling, they're usually pretty happy to find a Pep Boys open and able to help them out.
Working every other Sunday is definitely not our preference for Dick, but we're thankful he has a job.
Hat Day? I can't wait to see you in your hat! I know you will look gorgeous as always. I remember when we wore Easter bonnets on Easter. I was a kid then, but they were the in thing.
