Snow and Wind

On Friday we suddenly found ourselves in a snow storm with great big fluffy snow flakes covering everything. Almost as soon as it began, it stopped. Then on Sunday, leaving church, there was snow in the air. We were happy to be invited to share Easter with Kristy and Tim and they had also invited the Minichs. Food and fellowship were wonderful as Kristy and Tim had created an excellent brunch. The kids had created rolled sugar cookies, delightfully decorated to boot. As if that was not enough, there was also lemon cake with strawberries and heaps of whipped cream. Tim made the quiche, and Rachael the rolls. We had brought wine and candy on Saturday, and then HW2 made three pans of cinnamon rolls and brought two for Monday's breakfast.

Kristy and James shared their pictures of their China trip and and a running commentary as well. It was such a great trip and enjoyed by all. The pictures were wonderful, and we felt as if we had been taken along on their trip. They bought trinkets for those left at home, and these were much enjoyed as well.

In Nebraska, if the snow is not enough, then you also get treated to the wind. It has been quite blustery here for days, and occasionally it really shakes the motor home and makes you think you might be sailing to Kansas or some other place, unintentionally, of course. We had emptied our 30 gallon propane tank trying to keep warm, and so today we unhooked and slowly moved through this park to their large propane tank for a much needed infusion of propane. He put in 29.5 gallons, so we were nearly out. Now hooked back in our spot, we are ready for more snow or wind. Bring it on, but not too blustery or cold, please.
