Holy Week

Eden got tired of coloring and took a nap on Samson.

Blessings to everyone this Easter season!

We have been busy, busy, busy in this house and I've been informed that I need to update the blog before I do anything else. Sooo, while Eden naps, here's a recap of Holy Week at the Strawns:

Monday was spent rushing to Scottsbluff to buy a movie that Al needed for class on Wed. While we were there, we bought a gas grill and had them assemble it, which took another 2 hours after being there much of the afternoon.

Tuesday I can't remember, but I'm sure it was a busy and important day!

Wednesday was a typical Wednesday, with confirmation class for Al and choir for me, followed by a Fire Meeting that went long.

Maundy Thursday began at 0430 with another car wreck on the windy and icy highway. The rest of the day was long as Eden didn't nap and then wanted to go to sleep as soon as church started. For the 1st time in his preaching career, the pastor (who will remain nameless) burst out laughing in the middle of the sermon, as his daughter (who shall also remain nameless) was sitting in the pew, hymnal open on her lap, singing at the top of her lungs.

Good Friday (Zachary's 11th!! birthday) we had company coming from Wilcox on their way through to Wyoming. So, I scrambled for the vacuum and went shopping for some food. We at supper together, went to service, then came back and talked until it was way past my bed time.

Saturday was a late breakfast, then off to a parishoner's for lunch (also called Dinner). Then, we rushed to the fairgrounds for an Easter Egg hunt and back to their house for dessert.

Easter Sunday started early with the men's breakfast (burriotos...yes, we're out west). Then choir warm up, church, back to the house to make dessert, and out into the desert for another parishoner's dinner (also called lunch). By 3:00 we were ready to sleep for a week, and came home to crash.

Yesterday, Al took the day off and we drove to Lake Minatare, about 50 mintues away, and we drove around the campgrounds and went to the Inland Lighthouse for a picnic. We then drove south into the WildCat Hills and came home the long way. It was a nice ending to a lonnnggg g week.

Now, I'm getting ready for my first Mary Kay party tomorrow and my house is trashed.
