Laura and Michael invited the family for Easter dinner. Because Jeff and Susan were planning to celebrate Easter in Washington, DC with James and Michael, we offered to give Katie a ride to the Conways. And then I was inspired to ask Katie if she wanted us to pick her up a few hours earlier for church. She said she would be happy to go with us so we got off to what was an early start for us--picking her up at 10:15 so we could park the car and walk the few blocks to church. We were plenty in time although by 11 am, church was very full. Our pastor Dr. Davis said that with life under a pandemic, he wondered if we'd ever see the church that full again. It was a joy to sing next to Katie and she too said she liked hearing my alto line with her soprano part. The church service was very festive with flowers, brass, and many echoes of "Christ is risen" followed by "He is risen indeed."
After church we drove to Gladwyne and soon were enjoying an Easter feast of ham and tenderloin accompanied by asparagus and fruit--and Dan's hot cross buns. Henry helped me put together my traditional bunny cake although he was concerned that the bunny did not have feet and the concept of a bow tie was puzzling.
After our feast, we walked the grounds and enjoyed the blossoming cherry trees and daffodils. It truly is an"estate" on Dodds Lane.
