Not much planned for my Easter Sunday here. Will be heading for mass in awhile and after that back home. Our weather is not going to be overly fantastic today, rain showers have already moved through and snow showers are supposedto be coming later this afternoon. So scratched my thoughts of going north for a nice little Sunday ride to Mackinaw City and maybe stopping someplace for some Easter dinner. Have a ham, some candied sweet potatoes, salad and cottage cheese on my dinner menu here instead. And will spend the day just relaxing, doing a lilllte painting on my little lawn ornaments as well.
At least this Easter we can take a break away from our pretty much normal Easter outfits of boots, warm jackets, gloves and fuzy hats,
for something a bit more springish. Or as springish as one wants to get at 40 degrees this mornng, with rising temps later.Was having a good time at Lowes yesterday, spending money in my mind. So far I have replaced my countertops in my kitchen, my patio door as well, new service doors for my garage, a set of drive through fence gates by my garage, all the exterior lighting on my garage, etc. Nice to spend imaginary money isn't it. In reali life that's a whole different ballgame. I do though have plans to replace my kitchen countertops, probably with laminate again as the ones I have here now have done great for the past 16 years and I found a pattern that i just love yesterday. I also am going to get those fence gates installed so I can expand my fencing system alongside my garage and get my gates on more solid ground. The one gate i have in now, sits in a low spot and every year it manages to get frozen in when we have thaw/freeze cycles during the winter despite my raising it up more. And it's made of wood and starting to show its age. With new chain link gates, I will also be able to drive into my backyard so i need to and it will give the dogs the ability to got toward the front yard and watch out that way for a change. I will also replace all the exterior lights on my house as the current ones are showing their age as well, but that's not an overly expensive thing there. After 16 years in this house, it's time for a few upgrades, especially now that i have the time to tend to them.
But I want to take this time on this special day to wish all of you a Very Happy and Blessed Easter, wherever you are. Enjoy the day, rejoice in His rising from the dead and giving new life to all of us. May you have a wonderful day all.
Looks like you had a perfect day with her. Hope you can immerse yourself in today's activities to keep the tears at bay. 
We'll all be watching the N/S Korea situation & be praying for her safety.
She is going to be a great addition to your family! 
I've known her since her first days in the states over 43 years ago! 
We used to go shopping with an English/Spanish dictionary - ah, the good old days!
