My Easter

Hope everyone had a special Easter. My great niece got baptized so I went to their church. The church they attend is quite different from ours. Ours is more small town and old fashioned! Their church has two services and they have it in an auditorium. They are more modern and have a live band. They do more of the praise music type stuff. They take in more offering in one Sunday than we do in 6-7 months! They project the music lyrics and the Bible passages up on the wall at the front. The baptismal is way up on the side and the pastor doesn't even get in the water with them. Only his arms get wet. Oh, it's a modern way to do things for sure!! But it was very moving and they did have some special things for the Easter service. Their pastor was very good as well.

Afterwards we went back to my nephew's house where his wife had previously prepared a feast. I don't know how she does it. She had ham, turkey, sweet potato casserole, potato salad, macaroni salad, corn bread salad, sausage balls, and several different types of bread. Then she had chocolate cake, bom-boms (different varieties), orange salad, and a fruit pizza which was absolutely delicious. Most of these foods were cold so she had prepared them all in advance. I came home and changed clothes and was probably only here 30 minutes and by the time I got there they were eating already. I'm sure I have forgotten some of the yummy food she had. It was nice to visit with family. My brother, his wife, my nephew and his wife and 2 children, my other nephew and his wife and their 2 children, and me! This is my nephew and his wife. She is the one who does all that wonderful cooking.
The weather had warmed up today and not supposed to be below freezing tonight. Yippee!! I'm for that!! I'm afraid many things got frozen badly. My poor tulips that were blooming so pretty are now frozen looking and have fallen over.


My nephew's wife also painted this fire hydrant that is in the corner of their property! Isn't it so cute now??
