Dry Creek Church celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Sunday. The congregation and guest rejoiced on this special Easter morning. The children enjoyed an Easter egg hunt after the services.
A lovely Easter dinner was served at my country home Sunday.

We also enjoyed a surprise visit from the Easter bunny after Easter dinner. My great-grandchildren were so excited to see the Easter Bunny and also enjoyed the Easter egg hunt in my back yard. Thanks to Kathy Hendrix for mowing my lawn and to Lisa Cripps and Rosea Young for the delicious meal they prepared. God is good!
Dr. Barbara Frazier of Florence, Alabama, visited me with several pots of flowering plants, some potting soil, and vegetable seedlings for planting at the proper time. These were very much appreciated. I always enjoy Barbara’s visits. She is Woodrow and I’s first grandchild.
Michele Kent and daughter, Elizabeth Miller of Lascassas, visited me on Saturday. Another visit from a granddaughter and great-granddaughter. They are so special and sweet to me.
