He is risen!

And I am eternally grateful that He is risen indeed!

We had a lovely Easter weekend. Saturday we stayed home and relaxed. I got some things done around the house, but I also read an entire book. While we were eating breakfast, we noticed it was snowing a bit. At first, it was nice…it was fluffy, snowing very lightly, and not sticking to anything. It reminded me of cotton floating around from cottonwood trees back in Texas. By the end of the day though, we had snow covering the ground though. I was disappointed that we were going to have a white Easter. Even though it was a white Easter, we had a wonderful time of worship and studying the Word at church. Our pastor moved here from Florida about 7 months ago. He said he shouldn’t have been surprised by the white Easter…he’s experienced his first white Halloween, white Thanksgiving, white Christmas, white New Year’s, white Valentine’s Day, white St. Patrick’s Day, and white Palm Sunday. Wow! Even though we haven’t had a bunch of snow this winter, I guess we’ve had snow a bunch of days. By the time church was out, all the snow had melted and the sun was coming out. We went home to change and then left for M’s aunt and uncle’s house which is a little over an hour away. When we left home, it was 34 degrees outside. By the time we got to their house, it was 50 degrees. We spent the afternoon and evening with M’s aunt L and uncle J, cousin M and her daughter M…as well as 7 dogs. The dogs outnumbered the people. Max had a terrific time running around with all the dogs. He was exhausted when we got in the car to come back home. I think he slept the whole way, slept all night, and wasn’t ready to get up this morning. It’s nice that he was able to play and get so much exercise.
