Resurrection Ruminations

How did y'all  spend your Easter? We went to a drive-in church; an old drive-in movie theater, with a minister on a lift. If you look closely at the first picture, you can see him. We had to tune in to a certain radio station to hear him. If the minister made a point someone agreed on, they honked. At times it was deafening! Definitely a unique experience.

 We went with a very sweet old couple whom we have adopted as our family:



Then, we had a very scrumptious lunch together:

Grape kombucha:



Delicious hamburger soup and Texas Toast:


Angel food cake with whipped topping and strawberries:






We also had yummy tapioca but I didn't get a picture of that. ☹️
Then, we had an Easter egg hunt:








So, how did you celebrate Jesus' resurrection under lock-down?
 A year ago, none of us even imagined that in a year, we'd be wearing masks to get groceries, having school through Zoom, or going to drive-in churches! Who is going stir-crazy?! 🖐️🖐️ I am!

Note: The kids in the pictures are my younger brother and sisters.

From My Bookshelf

I am sick and tired of this shutdown. The libraries are closed, and I am thirsting for some new books. Instead of my weekly library trip, I have been re-reading some of my old favorites. These are the ones I have been reading this past week. Comment and let me know what some of your favorites are. And don't forget to subscribe!






1. Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott
 This is my favorite book of all time! It gets a five star rating from me! Four sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy experience life's many joys and sorrows as they grow up in 19th century New England.

2. An Old-Fashioned Girl, by Louisa May Alcott
A poor country girl comes to the city to visit her friend, and discovers that being rich isn't everything.

4. Andrea Carter and the Long Ride Home, by Susan K. Marlow
 Andi Carter loves riding her palomino mare, Taffy, on her family's huge ranch in California. But she spends too much time riding, and neglects her chores. Thirsty horses, and a forbidden, near death encounter with a wild stallion make for a very angry older brother. She decides to leave the ranch. But Taffy gets stolen! She feels she cannot return without her beloved mare. When will she find Taffy and go home?

5. Courageous Love, by Susan K. Marlow
 Another book about Andi Carter. She and two of her family members get kidnapped, and only a badly wounded man knows where they are. How will he help them?

So there you are! My 5 favorite books. That I own. I have some other books that I really like, but they are in the library.
