Hailey and I after going to Starbucks

Peyton and I...she didn’t want to go to Starbucks with us because she was tired.  She texted me her order though and we brought her a drink back.  She was the last one to go to bed last night.

I was happy Isaac came with Vikki today.  They took Eli home today.  They sure had a fun Easter break together 

Peyton and Hailey had to leave.  I colored eggs after they left

They sure are pretty colors.

Hailey and I were the first ones up this morning.  We slept in til 8:30.  Hailey ate some dry Lucky Charms.  She’s like those since she was little.  Peyton was still sleeping on the couch when we got up.  I asked Hailey if she wanted to go to Starbucks and she did.  Peyton still wanted to sleep, but she wanted us to bring her something back so Hailey did a mobile order on my phone and used a gift card and got us a good deal.  Hailey pretty much knows all the deals.  She is a good steward of her money.  I guess college kids need to be.  It was a very rainy day, pouring at times.  We went to Starbucks, then we went to Kroger so I could get a retirement card and I needed 2 more gift cards.  We took some pictures, and enjoyed our Starbucks drinks, then Vikki and Isaac stopped over on their way back from Kimmy’s to pick Peyton up.  Hailey took a shower, then she got ready and had to leave too.  I started browning burger for sloppy joes, so got the eggs ready to color.  I had plenty of cups to put the tablets in.  The colors sure turned out bright and beautiful.  After the burger was cooked and cooling, I colored the eggs.  With all the cups, it didn’t take long and the eggs were done.  

I talked to Sue.  She is going to go to her niece’s for Easter with Chuck’s sister.  I had invited her here.  I’m just glad she is getting out.  If they end up getting sick or anything she said she would come here.

I took a 20 minute rest where I just closed my eyes, then I read my Bible.  Bill had already read his.  We did our Prayer books/devotionals too.  I listed to Elevation’s last Sunday’s message and it was so good.  Vikki told me about it.  Melissa called me and said they were going to Hailey’s church by her college and Max wanted to go too.  I was so happy he wanted to go with them.  Then she called and said their basement was leaking.  There was nothing Bruce could really do, so they still went to church.  Melissa said it was a great message.  She grabbed a book, so they can listen to the whole series and follow along in the book.  I wanted to listen to that message tonight.  I will start it and probably have to finish it after Easter.  

Bill and I went to Chris’s retirement party.  We had a great time.  It was at G’s Pizzeria and the pizza, breadsticks and salad were all so delicious.  They had lots of different pizzas set out.  We talked to people we knew, then sat down.  Then we greeted Pastor Ken an Joan when we saw them come in.  They ended up coming and sitting across from us.  We had a nice visit.  Maddy texted me and had me pray that no water gets in the basement of their new house they close on Tuesday.  They have water coming in the basement of the duplex they are renting right now.  After all this rain, our back yard has lots of water in it, so we will have to do the Easter Egg hunt in the front yard.  Thankful no water is coming in the house though.  That is no fun.  We took a ride over two bridges and saw how high the water is and also the flooding all over.  Praying they take the rain out of the forecast the rest of the week.  We came home and I made the sheet cake.  Then I worked on my blog.  Now I’m ready for bed.
