Sunday Morning(Easter)

Well if you could pick the weather for a day it was yesterday on Saturday. Wow it was perfect with no humidity, warm breezes and lots of clear blue skies and of course that Florida sunshine. The morning started with the usual wake up around 6:30. We had a lot on our plate today as we were having our first of two Easter get together's with family. My first cousin Tammy and her family were coming along with Bobby and his kiddos and Amy and her family and GG.

We spent the morning cleaning house and afterwards I headed out in the yard to water the gardens and eventually sit in the sun reading for an hour or so. We hid plastic Easter eggs for the kids to find and got ready for their arrival some where around 4 o'clock. They had a grand time searching and looking for eggs and afterwards the kids all played in the back yard while I worked the grill. We had some magnificent marinated grilled chicken breasts to go along with baked taters with all the fixins', asparagus, corn, garden salad, crusty bread and ice cream pie with whipped cream and toasted pecans on top for dessert, yeow what a delicious feast.

It was a shame that Tammy and her family got stuck on I-275 for a 2 hour delay due to a crash so they didn't get here until 7 PM but we kept the food warm for them as we went ahead with our meal. Bobby had to leave around 7:30 with his kiddos as he has to be at church around real early for service; but Tammy and Amy's family stayed until after 9 and visited. We had a grand time and Tammy's girls, Megan and Brook have grown so this past year. This is the 3rd year they have made it here for Easter. They will celebrate another Easter dinner at Bobby's today with Jill's family in Riverview and we will have Nancy's sister and her son as well as well as Amy's family and GG for another dinner here at the house. It would have been too many folks for all of us to get together at one house so we split it up for a change. It worked out fine.

Well today is a special day in the life of those who are CHRIST followers as we celebrate life over death and that promise is for all of those who are believers. We will head over to Tampa to celebrate with son Bobby at Element Church then back here to have a ham dinner, with potato casserole, green beans, Brussel sprouts, garden salad and crusty bread with a lemon pie for dessert, wow does that ever sound good once again and there goes that spare tire, oh well!!! LATER...Here are a few pics from yesterday get together.
