Rainy Days

It is not very often that Joe and I both have the same days off. This weekend, however, we did! I was so happy! Partly because we had the same time off, and partly because it was a holiday weekend! We contemplated going out of town, but decided we should just save the money for summer vacation. We did end up going to Liberal on Friday to shop and have coffee and then stopped to eat at Cattleman’s in Sublette on the way home.

On Saturday, we didn’t know what to do – but we didn’t want to stay home. Alyssa had called asking a few questions about the skirt she was making and I decided we should just go out to her place and I could help her and Joe could hang out with Jerrad – which is a good thing, cause Jerrad said I couldn’t come over anymore unless I brought Joe!!!

We had a great day with friends, sewing, eating, chatting, and who knows what the guys did!

It rained most of the day Saturday, and on Sunday morning it was still raining. I guess in my mind I always pictured Easter morning as being cold and rainy. You know, Jesus had died on the cross and they had buried him. His friends and family were grieving. Just a sad, dreary day. Now, of course, it didn’t stay that way because Jesus rose from the tomb – I can just imagine how the dreariness of the rain turned into a brilliant sunshining day! Granted, the sun never came out this Sunday – but the rain was still pretty fitting, I thought!

I had looked forward to Easter Sunday all week. I know I should always look forward to Sunday, but there is just something about Easter Sunday! The choir had several specials worked up and Pastor Sam preached on how important Christ’s resurrection was. We had a church dinner, and I don’t think I have ever seen so much food at a potluck!

We spent Sunday afternoon laying around with full bellies and watching TV!

Gotta love rainy days!
