Our Easter...

Happy Easter !! 

Hello everyone.. 

Hope you have had a blessed Easter and have celebrated the greatest event in history but also your family.. smile.. 

We have had a great weekend.. 

We had not only Easter but our anniversary also.. 

Thank you so much for your lovely regards.. 

I thought I would post some pics of our family Easter... 

This year we were all invited to have dinner with our daughter and her family.. 

It was quite the day as far as weather went.. 

Freezing rain ! 

When we went out to our car it was frozen up and it took a bit to get it thawed out but away we went.. smile. 

By the time we reached the highway the roads were fine.. 

It was just raining by the time we arrived to Shonda's... 

We rounded the turn and there they were.. 

Dave and Matt are supposed to be putting salt on the ice.. grin.. 

Shonda's house was decorated from top to bottom.. 

Lovely... 

We were happy to see Carter back from his missions trip to Africa.. 

He had to go to work so we did not see him for long but at least we got a hug or two.. smile.. 

These sweet boys are growing up way too fast... 

A little bunny appetizer bowl I made for them.. 

No knead bread made into a loaf and a roll then put together with tooth picks...

I filled it with homemade dill dip.. 

Good with veggies or chips... 

I told them I made it for my little grandsons.. smile.. 

More of Shonda's decor... 

And the beautiful meal they prepared for us all.. 

Thank you !! 

Shonda wanted me to take a carrot cake.. 

I used Betty Crocker's recipe and it was good.. 

We always enjoy Dave's Mom's company... smile. 

We missed our youngest son as they could not make it...

Nor my Mom as the roads were bad... 

Just sitting around and gabbing and enjoying family time.. 

And looking at the view.. smile.. 

Today Dustin and Veronique came for dinner here at home after church.. 

The kids love looking at family photos... smile.. 

And playing games.. 

Michael always wins!! grin..

And Rafe is taking my pic.. smile.. 

He is just so cute !

I did this little craft..

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross... 

The emblem of suffering and shame.. 

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best .. 

For a world of lost sinners was slain... 

So... I will cherish the old rugged cross.... 

Till my trophies at last I lie down. 

And I will cling to the old rugged cross 

And exchange it someday for a crown...

They called Him the King of the Jews.. 

But up from the grave He arose!!! 

Thank you, dear Jesus !

So blessed today to attend church this morning and worship Him who died for us but was victorious over the grave!

He is alive forever more..

So glad you dropped by today and I look forward to hearing from you dear hearts...

A Springtime Visit with Dear Daughter...

Happy Weekend my dears.. 

How are you all doing? 

We are beginning to think that perhaps Spring is actually going to appear here in New Brunswick.. 

We still have loads of snow but it is melting very fast.. 

We have had some rain and lovely breezes that are doing their Spring work.. smile.. 

We were down to visit our daughter a day or so ago..

Despite the snow she has her home decorated for Spring.. 

I thought you might like to see a few pics of her new home this season.. 

I love her new bunny that is on an old trunk in her foyer.. 

Isn't he cute? 

Shonda has a way with little vignettes as you can see.. 

Her bedroom is quite lovely.. 

The last time I posted a picture I don't think she had the new cushions and such.. 

I love her color scheme in there.. 

She has her morning coffee and devotions there.. 

Such a comfy place to be, I think.. 

Our sweet grandsons were about and visiting with us.. 

They have grown into such wonderful young men.. 

I know ... I am a grandma, eh!  smile.. 

Shonda made a wonderful meal and filled her Dad's plate way too high but he ate it all.. 

Salmon, shrimp and scallops.. 

Mashed potatoes, haricot verts, baby carrots, hot bread and homemade pickles.. 

Yummy.. 

Then her special homemade apple pie.. 

She has a wee secret in making that but I can't figure it out..grin..  

It tastes awesome..

It was a great time and we are happy that Dave loves his 

father-in-law.. 

They are so funny..  grin..

Anyway, thank you so much for visiting once again.. 

I hope you are enjoying your Spring days..

Tomorrow is the Lord's Day which we look so forward to.. 

So thankful for all of his blessings and the peace that only He can give.. 

I look forward to hearing from you.. 

Love and Prayers. 

Faye ..
