The Easter Bunny Comes Again in 2018

Easter time in Texas can give you all types of weather.  It's often said that Easter is the time for one  last cold spell, often associated with ruining early gardens and making a mockery of many a lady's wardrobe!  In Texas it's not unusual to have a snow on Easter or, just as likely, to have a sunny 90 degree  day.  Easter, 2018, was spent in Abilene at Jordan and Ashley's house.  That, in it's self was a major change for us and one we think we will start recommending for more holidays!

We got lucky this year and enjoyed some really nice weather.  In fact it was so warm that Leighton wanted Presley to come early and spend the night with her.  Of course, the two of them had a ball and before you knew it, they had made their way into the pool!  Now it was warm, but not that warm!  It's a good thing they are young and tough.  They invented this game with Bebe where she pretended to be the security person at a pool and they had slipped in and then when Bebe would see them, she had to pretend to throw them out.  This went on for several hours!

One of the things that we enjoyed the most was worshiping at Southern Hills.  Toby, Jennifer and Taylor came Sunday morning and we all went to church together.  The singing is always wonderful there, but we think it was especially good Easter Sunday. 

Ashley prepared a delicious meal and the afternoon was spent for the most part around the pool, watching the young ones splashing, swimming and shivering whenever they got out of the pool!

Jordan was even able to call in a turkey and harvest a nice tom while we were there!

What were the girls thinking?  I'd say they had everything upside down!

The goofy girls love to act silly and it looks like they are pretty good at it!

Don't forget this guy.  He can perform, too!

 
Remington came out to welcome Papaw.  He wanted to know where the Jeep was,
not, "Hey. Papaw, you doing OK?"

These two girls could not stay out of the water!  If you could see their
lips, I think you'd find that they were a little blue!!

Jordan has harvested many turkeys but this is the first one that he has been 
able to call up and kill on his place there in Abilene!  He was, as he says, pumped!

A little time in the sun before having to dive back in the water!

Toby's meat cutting skills, acquired while at Tarleton, comes in handy when 
it's time to carve up the meal.

Jordan and Ashley's kitchen was the scene of the best part of the day.

Toby, still working on that ham.

Bebe is getting hangry!  You don't want her hungry cause she can get angry!
Look at that aoudad above her head!  We could have eaten that for all I know.  Maybe that's what 
Toby was carving up after all!

Taylor Dan also has a hollow leg and seems to be ready to eat.

This is the same guy but he's in disguise.  He looks a little like a martian or one 
of those Shriners that you see riding the motorcycles in parades.

This is the tall and short of it.

These two had a great time as well.

Who is this guy?  He could be a martian as well!

It's time for the big egg hunt.

Doesn't that water look good.

Taylor even got into the action with a little fun in the sun!

Remington enjoyed trying to get us all wet.


The image of my own Dad.  He sat like I sit, held his hand like me, philosophied 
like me and of course he was one handsome dude, like me!

One last selfie before we go!  It was a a great day.

During church that morning, Southern Hills passed out flowers to everyone
to place on one of several wooden crosses.  Ashley sent us this screen shot from the
church website showing Presley placing her flowers on the cross.
