He Is Risen Indeed

Theologian
Early Morning Run
with his first born, daughter.
She's been running with him since she was born.
David carried Regina in arms on his run 25 and three-fourths years ago.


My Love and I out Early

Wheat Field
Melody loves the growing wheat.
Cinnamon & Currants
Recipe for Hot Cross Buns
without the crosses):
You might skip them too
if you made a 75 cup batch!

My Garden Girl

Bread was never so good
till we got the 60 quart mixer
for making pollen patties for the bees.
It kneads bread better than ever.
Resurrection Day
We celebrated with family
worshiping at Mom's church.
She was proud to have so many of her children.

Alic was on drugs and divorced
Praise God
He remarried Tina
and is serving the Lord.
We saw his daughter and son-in-law with grandson Carter.
Mother with Family

Cardboard Testimonies of changed lives.
One side shares their heartbreak
the other shows the power of God
in their lives.

This stained glass
has been a witness and a meditation to me
throughout my life
When Mom's church built their new building
they brought the beautiful stained glass windows with them.

If you click on the photo above to enlarge it
you may see there are hundreds of nails in each cross.
Alic explained that at one service
people wrote their prayer request
on a paper and nailed it to the cross.
I lay my heavy burden at the cross too.

I snapped this one

and Regina took this picture.
We found a shady spot that looked perfect for a family photo.

Lenora with Mother

Mother has more guests than anyone.
She does volunteer work each week
(which she enjoys)
for which they give her
a couple of guest meal tickets
then friends sell her their guest tickets
since they don't have guests as often.

Heather was Surrounded

Relatives

We use to gather in Mom's big yard
overflowing her small house.
Now we gathered in the game room of the retirement home.

Dominos has been a family favorite since I can remember.

And Sorry too.

Mother was happy to have five of her children over in one day.
