It was warm yesterday, somewhere in the mid 70’s. We woke up pretty early and made it to church for the 8am service. The boys sat through the sermon with us as the kids programs are not available on Easter. They did pretty well compared to what I remember I was like as a kid. It was a good sermon and the place was packed!
We arrived home around 9:10 and the boys and I quickly changed clothes and jumped in the car to run to the store to get Mom and Grandma some flowers. When we arrived back home the boys and their keen eyes spotted some colored eggs around the yard. It was all I could do to keep them inside until Mom got back from giving that annoying freakin little dog his morning shot. (we’re getting really tired of the misses having to go down the street every morning and night to give the dog a shot!) As soon as she showed up, the hunt was on. With the determination of a finally trained bird dog, they both searched out 24 eggs in a matter of minutes. Next is was off to Grandmas’s where another 24 eggs were stashed around the yard along with 2 baskets, one for each boy. That took a little longer but they were still quick. Oh yea, in between they had a quick egg hunt at the neighbor’s house as well.
Then it was off to play while we began to prepare the big feast. Uncle T called and said to keep an eye on Grandma as she wasn’t feeling too good. It turns out about 20 minutes before lunch she called to tell me to come get the food she prepared but she wouldn’t be making it as she didn’t feel to well and was just going to take a rest. Of course we were all disappointed but if she wasn’t feeling well, it is what it is. So the boys and us, joined by Ben the neighbor kid, sat down to eat ham, garlic mashed potato’s, cucumber salad, deviled eggs, french toast and assorted condiments for lunch. We joked that it takes a few hours to get lunch ready and an hour to clean up but only about 15 minutes to eat! Anyhow it was a good meal and we have enough food leftover for weeks.
The boys spent the rest of the day playing outside until around 7pm. The day included some time in the hot tub, football, building and playing in their secret fort down by the creek and a little bit of time on video games. All in all they had a fun busy day.
The misses head has been pounding again ever since the doctor manipulated it to find the source of her pain. We don’t get to go for more injections until a week from tomorrow so it’ll be a rough week. Hopefully next week will bring some sustained real relief.
In closing, here’s that article I was trying to insert last week. After you read it, it’s pretty hard not to agree with most of it. As I said, we’re pro choice but the rest of it is pretty spot on. What kind of  country have we become, does anyone think we’re actually headed in the right direction? Read it and decide for yourself.
Enough said, take care and God Bless you all,
