Good Morning Chris So glad that you had a wonderful Easter. John and I enjoyed the holiday as well. It was a busy morning. We had sunrise service at church at 8:00. I had been up since 5:00a.m. helping to cook the Easter breakfast that we have after sunrise. I made the ham strata and I have to admit it was delicious. There was very little left. I sang for the sunrise service and also the regular service at 10:00. Both songs went well and I got a lot of compliments. When we got home from church, I was exhausted!!! Thankfully Easter dinner was pretty easy to fix. We had pierogis, kielbasa and potatoe salad. We had graham cracker banana cream pie for dessert. Easter dinner was really good and John enjoyed the fact that it was the same dinner his mom used to make for Easter. We didn't have ham since there were only two of us and I really didn't need two meats.

Saturday John and I decorated the church for the Easter service. The Easter flowers were beautiful and everyone said how pretty the church was. We were at the church for three hours on Saturday getting ready for the service Sunday.

Today it is back to work and I am glad that I don't have a lot to do today. I am still tired from the weekend.

I am so glad that you got some Easter treats. We were talking about how our Moms used to hide our Easter baskets when we were little. It would take us quite a while to find them. They had some really good hiding places!!! the eggs look really pretty. John and I were going to color eggs but once again there are only two of us and we didn't want them to go to waste. We couldn't eat a whole dozen of hard boiled eggs before they spoiled.

We woke up to about three inches of snow this morning. Winter just won't go away!!! It is supposed to rain every day this week. Will the sun ever shine again!!!

Got to run and get back to work. So glad that you had a fantastic day yesterday and that you got to enjoy time with family. I miss my family at the holidays. Love you--John Debbie Mya Abby and Allie
