Mom's blog 3.23.08

Hey--I've run out of all the different salutations so will go with this!

It was a busy week again. I forgot to tell you last week that on Saturday, a week ago, Ed, Norine, Tony , Jean and I took a ride up to Tortilla Flat to look at all the beautiful wild flowers that are blooming right now. It was a great ride and we enjoyed the company. Yes, it is early for the flowers to be blooming but I guess it's because of all the rain we've had this winter.

Sunday was church and a quiet day at home. Monday I watched the annual St. Patrick's Day parade here in our park. Besides all the colorful golf carts decorated, there were all the clubs advertising their accomplishments. About 50 old classic cars rounded out the parade. It was pretty good for a half hour of entertainment!! That evening I was invited to a corn beef and cabbage party hosted by Marland's "brother" !!!
That's an whole other story!!

Tuesday I worked the dinner show. Wednesday I attended another Broadway Palms dinner show where we watched the production of "Hello Dolly". If you remember my writing about the show I attended in January called "Anything Goes". This was every bit as good. I've already put my name in for 2 shows next year. They are "The Best Little Whore House In Texas" and "Singing In The Rain".

Thursday I went to Maundy Thursday services at church in the morning and ushered at a concert in the evening. Friday evening it was Good Friday services at church.

A few weeks ago I was introduced to a widow who had lost her husband last October. She was looking for someone to go out to dinner with occasionally. We finally found time to do that on Saturday evening and had a really good visit. She leaves for home in another week but we hope to do this when we both return next fall.
We realized that we both have quite a bit in common. We'll see what happens.

This morning was Easter Sunday service and what a glorious feeling to be surrounded by fellow believers!!
This afternoon I enjoyed dinner with Ed & Norine, Dale & Marlene, Ed & Joan. I roasted the turkey( Needed to get it out of the freezer before everyone leaves) and made the dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy and the rest of the people furnished the rest of the meal. We hjad a nice time.

It's 8 p.m. and I'm ready for bed. I hope your Easter was a pleasant one.

P.S. Thanks for the calls and emails from several of my grandchildren.

Love, LaVerne
