Well, we are winding down here. One more week to go. . .
This Easter Sunday morning, it was our privilege to attend an Easter Sunrise Service at the local Baptist Church at 6:30 a.m. It was quite windy all night, so when 5:30 rolled around, John begged off. I knew that if I didn't go, I would never forgive myself for missing the opportunity to see the sun come up over the Gulf Coast. The rest of us (5) went over to the "Head of the Hollow Cemetery" and participated in the service. there were about 20 other people besides us. They had a little keyboard set up and sang a couple of hymns first (although it was barely light enough to see the words). By the time we were leaving, the sun was up above the clouds and it was absolutely beautiful.
We then we over to the church for some biscuits and Monkey buns an a little visit with some of the people we have gotten to know a bit, There was a piano in their small dining hall and because there were so few people, I felt comfortable sitting down and playing some gospel tunes. Loved it!
The Easter service was not until 10:45 a.m. so we all went home. John was listening to a church service on T.V. and we had a little sleep. I felt a bit chilled even though I wore my wolf coat. I decided to go visit Archie instead of going to church. I took him an Easter basket of goodies. He really appreciated the visit and the goodies.
When the rest returned from church, we drove to Beaumont to the Golden Corral for our last MDS meal together. They have Black Angus Texas steak in the buffet and it is "to die for".
Then the rest of the afternoon was ours to do with what we wished. John and I had bought a new Microwave, as the one in the fifth wheel had burned out. So he put it into the hole and took the old one out. I went over to Myrna's (the last homeowner) and took her an Easter basket, and was VERy glad I did, because she didn't have any company at all. She had cereal and milk for her Easter meal. Her daughter and grandkids live in Florida. I stayed for a little visit and had coffee with her.
Yesterday, I had Rose come over and be my "grandkid" to help me color Easter eggs. Rose was much more artistic about it than I am. Of course everyone knows Linda can't have Easter without coloring eggs. We had a great time and we enjoyed eating them today.
Hope everyone had a lovely Easter. God Bless You all.
