Wonderful Easter Sunday
I was up at 3:15 am and the roasts in the oven at 3:30 am. Of course I went straight back to sleep and slept until 6:30 am. After downing a cup of coffee woke Mark, grabbed my shower and by 7:05 we were in the car heading to the fellowship hall for the Easter breakfast and service. I didn't record any of the service but should have as it was not recorded and was the most unusual Easter service. The Easter story was told in song, from the cross to the death to the tomb and then the empty tomb. From there we drove to church where Mike Kaisner had the Easter message there. Click HERE to watch that. Church was pretty full so after the service there was much visiting to do. We didn't get home until 11:45 am. I went right to work on pulling the roasts out, getting them sliced, bbq sauce applied and under the broiler. The potatoes were set to boil in the juices of the roast. By 12:45 pm all was done and taken over to the barn. Ruth and Fedi butchered a lamb then roasted it. They brought that ready to slice.
Fedi went right to work slicing it. They had also brought garlic sauce to drip onto the meat. Andrew had the prayer so he and Faith got to go first.
All of the food was amazing.
Gertie brought a fabulous blueberry jello salad.
The dessert table was laden with delicious sweets.
I'm pretty sure that is one of Bethany and Bill's daughter climbing the pole.
The feast today was well appreciated and so enjoyed.
After supper Berlica took all the children over to the horses and gave rides on Cookie. Joan took Nancy fishing and she came back thrilled with her catch.
No one was in a big hurry to leave except those that had to go to another Easter supper. Lots of visiting went on between the cousins. The last of the families are leaving now.
We got an email from the lady that owns Sheena's very first foal by Valiant. This foal was born May 4th, 2015 and is now 11 years old. His owner writes he is living the best life.
He is pictured below right after birth.
It really was a wonderful Easter Sunday!
