We enjoyed a delicious feast and family gathering today. There were eleven of us. Two were missing (V&M). Once we get past thirteen, it will be time for a new and different "dining arrangement" because the dining room cannot accommodate any more than that. But we do have an open space beyond the kitchen where we can stretch out to handle probably up to sixteen or so seated. But that would be down the road, when V&M have children.
I prepared several "easter hunts"-----egg hunts for the little ones outside, and scavenger hunts for the older granddaughter and other adults inside. I think they enjoyed following the clues to find the prizes.

Cilla brought her significant other Rick today, our first time to meet him. I do think he enjoyed himself, and we loved having him with us. If I lined up my three sons-in-law and one
significant other shoulder to shoulder, it would be striking how similar they are in height...probably all within half inch of each other, all possessing very dark hair (some with a bit of gray).
The worship service this morning was filled with outstanding music. Both the choir and organist outdid themselves with the level of gloriousness. It's hard not standing up and doing a cheer! I have to contain myself.
I do love Easter! He is risen, and because of that, we know that life goes on. There is more yet to come. I can only assume it involves family gatherings, reunions, and an ever expanding table where we sing and feast, and laugh and love together at the heavenly banquet.
