A sign of Spring

One of the signs of Spring for me is my grandsons playing baseball.  I spent all day Saturday watching TJ play baseball.  It was sunny which was very nice but the breeze would blow down the valley in Warm Springs and really put a chill in the air.  One minute you are basking in the sun and the next your are pulling your coat around you tighter!!  But it didn't matter as I enjoyed the outing very much.  TJ was the catcher for several innings of each game of the double-header.  He also hit a double and if the runner ahead of him had run faster, TJ may have gotten on third base as he had to slow up heading to second waiting for the other runner to get past second and head to third.  Here are two pictures and a very quick video of MY most valuable player!!!

Easter 2012

Happy Easter everyone!  HE IS RISEN!  Early this morning I let the dogs outside and heard quail and doves and chick-a-dees all singing praises to our Lord.  This is the first time I have heard them in the mornings.  Usually I hear them in the evening.  Singing for the day continued at the church worship service.  I was the alto in a trio and we sang 2 extra songs during the service - "Majesty", and "He is crowned with  many crowns".  It was so fun to sing praises in harmony.  Our weather was fairly good for a Central Oregon Easter - sunny with a slight chill.  Much nicer than usual.  After church, the Paster and his wife treated several people to an Easter dinner which was scrumptious and we had a great time of fellowship.  The day was topped of by having a new dress to wear!!
