Monday Morning April 1st

Well a new month and now just about 7 weeks or so we will be heading out for the summer to the cabin. We had a very nice Easter with awesome worship both on line and at our local SRBC. We had lots of new folks for the first time and nearly every seat was filled in our 800+ auditorium. Nancy and I worked the front door for the second service, meeting and greeting, which we both enjoy doing.

I had started the day with a before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my LORD. give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All are holding as of this moment. I quickly vacuumed the house as I knew we didn't have much time before Bobby and family came around noon and when we got home from church. We were having both Bobby and Amy's families for lunch as he didn't have Annsley and Gabe only until 4 then they were headed for Jill's. Things seem to be working out between them in regard to the kids and when special days are shared, such as Easter. We ate and then the kids looked for plastic Easter eggs that Sam and Gabe hid in the back yard and opened their baskets  filled with goodies and candy that Nancy insists they all get each year, oh well. We had a gun time with them and they headed out jut before 3 along with Amy's family. I once agin vacuumed and helped put the hoiuse back in oder for the second group coming around 5'ish.

I grilled marinated chicken breast and Nancy had tatter tots for the kiddos as well as a huge fresh garden salad, tons of cheese's, eggs and beets and some vino flowed as well. The lunch was delicious and yet we knew we were doing another large meal around 5:30 with Amy's family and Tammy's family that featured squash casserole, mac and cheese, green bean casserole salad for some and huge carved ham. All was delicious to say the least and then Amy had made a 7 up pound cake with fresh strawberries and hipped cream for dessert. After cleaning off the table we played a couple of family games all of which was fun as we laughed and shared. Megan the oldest girl of Tammy's girls had to leave as she was dog sitting and it was after 8 when her, Rich and Brook headed back across the Skyway Bridge to home. We had a fun time and the eatin' was awesome.

I soon cleaned up the house putting it back in order and taking out the trash of which we filled several bags and then watched a little ROKU before lights out at 10, LATER
