Sometimes it is hard to
believe how fast time flies. Easter has come and gone for another
year. Eggs colored, eggs hid, eggs found (we hope), feasts partook
of, families spending time together, memories made.
We had a wonderful Easter
Sunday despite the frigid temperatures. It didn't seem to bother the
kids much as they clamored for somebody to hide the eggs then hunted
until they found every last one. Grandma (me) got in a little bit of
trouble when they discovered the plastic eggs I had bought did not
have anything in them. There was supposed to be candy in them.
Well...the past few years I did just that and it took me an hour or
so to fill the eggs and they left most of them laying around at my
house with the candy still in the eggs. Around June or maybe July I
finally threw away the candy they didn't want, so this year I thought
to just put the candy in a bowl and just leave the eggs empty. I have
learned my lesson and will not leave any eggs empty in the future!
Easter Sunday at New
Mansion Church was well attended and we had a good service. Several
nice songs were sung. Melanie Whittaker sang “I Will Rise Again”,
Vicky Blair sang “My Redeemer Lives”, and Belinda Wyman sang “He
Grew the Tree”. Pastor Jeff Marsh brought a good message. After the
service there was an egg hunt for the kids and it had started to
sprinkle cold rain, but the kids didn't care and made short work of
finding all the eggs.
Our grandson, Hayden
Crouch got into freezing rain Sunday night on his way back to St.
Louis where he works, but made it home safely.
Our sympathy goes out to
the family of Crystal Stacy who passed away last week. Crystal was in
Bob's class in school and was Crystal Mitchell then. I had not seen
Crystal in years but remember her being a very sweet person, and
those that knew her well said she remained that way her entire life.
That's all I have for this
week. Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Call me with your news.
