Make-Up Monday

Yeah, we've all heard about Throw Back Thursdays. Well, I decided I'd have a couple of "make-up Mondays" to share pictures I took without ever writing the blog post.
Today's Make-Up Monday reports on Easter weekend, April 18-20.
Good Friday began with visits from workmen. One was repairing the hallway and ceiling damaged by

the ice dam in February. Another was here to deal with the big, black ants we'd been finding on the dining room window sill every day for a week or two. The hallway workman didn't get the job finished yet. The exterminator spread lethal chemicals inside and outside all around the house, handed us a bill (a fairly big bill) and left offering us long-term protection for $100 per quarter if we were interested. I don't think we are.
That evening we ate dinner at Raja India with our new neighbors John and Nina Creech, a delightful couple. When we took a coffee cake down to welcome them to the neighborhood, we discovered they had lived in Clifton and they love Indian. So we suggested we enjoy it together. I hope we get to spend time with them again.
Saturday was typically full of errands and grocery shopping. That evening we watched a video from Redbox, Philomena, and we were really glad we did. A gripping story, great acting, lots to talk about.

 Sunday, Easter Sunday, we went to the 12:00 service. It was the fourth service of the morning, and the church asked regulars to attend late to make room for the crowds at the earlier services. We met Terry and Shirley and Brandon Wuske there, and they came to our place for Easter dinner afterwards.

It was a beautiful, sunny day, and we took a walk to the park after dinner before dessert, and then ate our Easter angel food cake on the deck. Shirley brought the dessert, specially decorated for the day!
