4-1-18  Easter!!!

Layla's first Easter.  Sporting her cute little Easter dress from Once Upon a Child. 

 Love how Angie's recording all these special events with Layla

 While we waited to head over to Angie and Josh's for Easter dinner, I prepared a bunch of food:  salad; dressing; deviled eggs; strawberries; and even some little pizzas to just have in our freezer.  Then I took advantage of the nice weather and took a little walk.  First to the trash bin to throw away our daily trash (and find treasures---this time I retrieved a large plastic linen bag.  Figure it'll come in handy in a couple weeks.).  Then I headed down to the Ivy Creek Greenway.

 Even walked down to the river.

 I keep thinking this would be a great place to bring a beach chair and just sit and enjoy the sounds of the water, but I haven't done it---yet.

 It's so soothing listening to the cascading river.

 Love seeing the flora come alive, too.  I would guess this is a wild dogwood?

 Looking up at the overlook from by the river's edge.

 Looking down the river.

 a wild orchid?  There were several of them along the river.

 one last look at the river. 

I'm going to miss this when we move.  So close and convenient!

About 4 pm we went to Angie and Josh's.  Thought we were eating early, but they had gone to lunch after church, so weren't hungry yet.  So we visited until about 6, then started dinner.  It was great: Honey Baked turkey; dressing; salad; deviled eggs; mashed potatoes; green beans; and strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Then we played our usual Sunday Social Mexican Train Dominoes.  Josh managed to win tonight.  But it was fun and Layla was really good.
