Easter Sunday - 2015

Hope you've all had a glorious Easter.   We sure did.   Philip had to work today.   Mark went to 8:15 Mass at St. Therese de Lisieux and stayed for the 10:00 Mass which Annette, Davis, Luke and I attended.    Luke got antsy around homily time, so Mark took him home.   What a beautiful Mass and the choir and orchestra were phenomenal!!!  

Talk about a joyous celebration with standing room only.

 

Oh my gosh....the Bunny came!!!

Thursday - April 2

Beautiful day and after Mark exercised, we had breakfast and left Siesta Bay (with our memories) around 9:20.   Drove across the state to Lake Worth with  stop in Lantana at the Palm Beach RV Park to store Daisy for a week,

Great to be back in Lukeville.  Mark left for the airport to pick up Davis and met him at the gate in West Palm !  

Will be fun to have our #2 and #6 grandsons together this week.

 Davis, Pooh and Luke

Uncle Phil showing Davis the model of F-18 that Ryan flew when he was in the Tophatter Squadron in the Navy.

Enjoyed pool and hot tub and then Annette fixed a delicious Hawaiian pork and rice dish!  
 Mark and Davis rode bikes till the mosquitoes drove us indoors.

Just before bedtime....Luke is sad!

It's April......the sun is shining, the birds are singing, Life is GOOD!   I am especially thinking of my Mom today and what would've been her 96th birthday!
