Palm Sunday

Hosanna
There sure is something special about seeing the children parade down the church with the palm branches that connects you to the Holy Week. We enjoyed hearing them praise God with music after their parade. Such sweet voices.

Bloom at the zoo

Zoo Bloom!

What a great experience to see so many lovely tulips covering the zoo. It was so wonderful. Lola took her bunny pal Bella to share in the fun. Here are some highlights~ petting a king snake and feeding the giraffe. We also were lucky enough to see a peacock all prancing around with his feathers spread:)

Smiley French toast

Is Breakfast tastier when it comes in a smile? I often wonder... Well, no matter, I still enjoy serving our morning meal with a smile. I wonder what effects would come if I tried it with dinner.

Jello snacks for Bible Study

On Wednesday nights we enjoy an hour with friends at church where mom teaches children's Bible study. Tonights snack was a hit ~ jello shaped like Easter icons. It was the first time I tried it, we don't really eat jello. You can use any candy mold and just add the jiggler recipe for the filling. Oh, the possibilities....

Happy birthday Granny

Now that we are closer to family, popping over for a birthday dinner is turning out to be quite nice:) Granny's birthday is tomorrow, but we had church commitments, so we came a day earlier to share a meal and go golfing.  Lola had made Granny some homemade Granola~ our new speciality. She also spent a lot of time on the card. She  picked out a new 'golfing' hat for Granny. Virgil made some tasty lasagna and a most delicious cheesecake for his mom. Happy Birthday! Ok, who's birthday is next? :)

Reading to dogs

Lola spent the morning reading to guide dogs at the library. Lola really enjoys reading and the dogs really seem to like it. Lola gets many compliments on her reading and we are so proud of her.
