April Memories

Priscilla Shirer Simulcast

I attended a Priscilla Shirer Simulcast at the Corinthian Baptist church here in town. It was excellent - I love Priscilla Shirer. I'll be sharing my notes of this simulcast in a separate blog.  

Party for Andrew

We gave Andrew (oldest grandson) a going away party because he left on the 16th to work in Craig, Alaska (southeast) with a hunting guide. He'll be gone most of the summer and fall. His first hunts are for bear.  

Here's a couple pictures Andrew took on the water out of Craig.  

 Kaiden's 16th Birthday

Kaiden, our grandson, celebrated his 16th birthday!!  He got his driver's license on his birthday and a few days later bought a truck.  I've yet to get a ride in it.  

Krispy Kreme Surprise

We woke up one morning and found Krispy Kreme donuts on our front porch. We had friends go to Anchorage and they brought us back a nice surprise.  Thank you, Benavides!  

Crazy April Weather

The beginning of April was beautiful and I was able to sit out and enjoy the sun and warm weather,

THEN it snowed again.....twice.  Finally all the snow is gone again...  Now waiting for it to green up.  

April 1st  -  50 degrees

April 30th - 67 degrees

April 30th  - Sunrise 5:21 a.m., Sunset 10:17 pm,

 a total of 16:56 hours of daylight

Anchorage Visitors

We enjoyed a visit from the Garry's.

We kept up our tradition of eating breakfast together at The Cookie Jar.  

We celebrated Easter at church - He is Risen, and

Easter lunch with the family.

New Flip Flops this Year

When we were in San Diego in January I left my Crocs flip flops in the trash because they were so worn out. I knew if I brought them home I would continue wearing them. My first order of business this spring was to order another pair. After our winters, my feet love being out of socks and shoes!!! 

Dave Visits Florida

Husband Dave went to Florida solo to visit his Dad and family in Deland.  He had a good visit and thanks to Rick and Joy for letting him stay with them. He was able to work on some projects that needed attention at his Dad's house, take care of some business for his Dad, and enjoy the heat and humidity 😓.  He was gone about ten days. It's good to have him home. 

While Dave was gone, I put this puzzle together all by myself.  I'm not much for puzzles, but this one was fun to do with all the different birds.  However, I doubt that I'll want to do another one anytime soon...or maybe never.  

With our sunshine and warmer weather,

this picture pretty much describes me for the rest of the summer.
