Easter Sunday - March 27, 2005


    Our Easter was somewhat different from those of previous years.  Some of our family members have been accepted into Heaven, some have moved out of town,  some of the young adults are away at college, and some family members are away on vacation.  Thus, those of us who remain found it necessary to perform a "corporate shuffle" and  move our Easter celebration to new venues.
    This year we were invited to spend Easter Sunday with Don and Barbara and their family.  We were very grateful for their invitation and were delighted to spend the day with relatives that we do not see as often due to the distances involved.  Let it be known that we felt entirely welcome and comfortable,  as the long-time family traditions of food, ambiance, amenities and loving family were preserved, just as in the "old" days when we met for holiday celebrations at the homes of George and Annette, Dick and Marie, Fred and Irene, Henry and Josephine, Sig and Claire, Anne and Duane, Duane and Lataine, Mike and Theresa,  Ed and Annette, George and Lucille, Michael and Sharon, Rick and Emma, Martin and Esther, Bob and Candy, and Craig and Marge.

    Taking a moment to remember those mentioned above who are no longer with us, let us be thankful that we can still meet together and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, good food, and loving family.

Happy Easter to all of you, wherever you celebrated.

I hope you enjoy the pictures of  our Easter Sunday Celebration of 2005
