Good, good Friday

Yesterday my official end of child care duty was over. My "kids" arrived home from New Orleans safely about 1 a.m. on Friday. I went for my once a year doctors visit. As expected, I received a good report. I believe I will live and live well another year. On the way home, it being Friday, I went the long way, looking for garage sales. My trip took me the long way home, up and over a small pass that I enjoy taking because it is a little two way road (all paved, thank goodness) that is very scenic. I believe it is called "Gates Pass" I took 3 pictures for you. I found that if you click on the pictures they will zoom in. You will be able to see the Suguaro Cactus. In the foreground you will see some of our spring blooms here in my desert. The yellow blooms are on the Creosote Bushes. When we first moved to the desert all those many years ago (close to 35 years ago) our real estate man gave us a little book called "What Kind of Cactus Izzat?" the Suguaro is discribed as "The Lord of the Desert". I like to call it "The Queen of the Desert". In the spring she gets a crown of heavy waxy bloom right around the top of her head.

Today I plan/must finish three costumes for an Easter play for the church meeting my daughter and family goes to. I finished one yesterday, one got half finished and then I started having problems with my surger machine and was too tired to find the problem. I hope to/must finish today and then make the hot rolls for the Easter holiday gathering I plan on attending tomorrow after church. I may have a picture for you of the finished costume on the models/play members/my very own family.

Tomorrow, remember what the Lord has done for all of us.......Connie
