The second txt I got this morning was from Bear. (The first, of course, being the song of the day from Di about waiting for Sunday!) For as long as I’ve know him, Bear has stepped into the roll of Easter Bunny for his church’s ‘Breakfast with the Easter Bunny’. I wanted to share his picture, and to pay honor to his dedication and selfless giving to others, all the time! Happy Easter, Bear!
I spent most of the day getting ready for tomorrow; getting the roaster out and washed, putting the corn to defrost. Pealing the potatoes to go around the ham and putting them in cold water. Making potato salad, egg salad, deviled eggs. Since Kelly, Logan and Chase are staying until mid-week, I needed to mix up extra frosting for the scones. Then I put the treats together for the kids and hid the ones for the grands. So after this is finished I will get something to eat and chill.
I used the eggs that Nate’s family dyed, and these are my favorites. It was disconcerting to pick up an egg and have it LOOKING at you! But they were all put to good use.
One of April’s friends had their office go together and they purchased a star for Griffin. That is so cool. He will be shining in Ursa Major. What a wonderful idea, and such a sense of peace and comfort.
Wishing a very happy birthday to the only Sir Regis that I know! Have the greatest day ever! Blessings to you and your family for Easter, as well!
Last night’s Good Friday service was very touching. The focus was The Road to the Cross. It was easy to feel the emotions and follow the pathways of that last week.
April 16 – Did you ever have a recurring dream as a child? “Being chased by a vampire.” I also know that Mom was afraid of an Indian attack and often had dreams about that, as well. I’m fairly certain that neither vampires nor Indians ever attacked….
Yesterday’s vacation destination was actually the Shirley Temple version of the movie Heidi. HEIDI has been one of my favorite books since elementary school. I have always dreamed of going to Switzerland to meet The Grandfather, ‘Goat’ Peter, and the Grandmother. And going to church in Dörfli . The picture posted was Aunt DeeDee taking Heidi to her Grandfather in the Alps. Sigh….
Here are a few more scenes from the movie:
Schwanli (Little Swan) or Baerli (Little Bear)?
Did you know there are two additional books about Heidi? Heidi Grows Up and Heidi’s Children. I still have them….

TOMORROW April 17th is:
- International Bat Appreciation Day
- National Cheeseball Day
- National Crawfish Day
- National Ellis Island Family History Day
- National Haiku Poetry Day
- Easter
I know there are people that do (and that bats are helpful) but I don’t think I could ever really, truly appreciate a bat… or a crawfish. Let’s stick with celebrating the risen Lord tomorrow – He is risen, Indeed!!! God bless…
