It was still a Covid Easter Sunday in that we worshipped via livestream from our living room again. So it was Nassau Church at 9:15 but I also did our church in South Bend at 10:30 while I was working in the kitchen. They were two very different services but both very worshipful and full of Easter hope.
This year we were able to get together for a family dinner. The Conways invited us to Gladwyne and everyone was able to be there with the exception of one grandson who was in college at RPI. Dinner was served around 2 pm with the traditional ham and Susan's wonderful rolls. Dan and Alex made very appropriate and tasty hot cross buns. I blanched some asparagus and made a lime dip to go with the vegetables. Plus I made two round cakes ready to be turned into the bunny cake that R likes to make with her grandma. I was amused to see how excited little H was to have a "bunny cake"
--especially the frosting.
We toured the Conway estate on a lovely spring afternoon. Those who were making their first visit to the new "old" house also took a house tour. Laura and Michael have really had a lot of work done to make the house liveable and it is beautiful. The carriage house, pool, and pool house are left to be done at a later time.
It's just a bit over an hour drive to their house from our apartment. Dan and Alex had a 3 1/2 hour drive from the Catskills. But the Conways have made the trip twice to their place with five kids in the car--for the wedding party and Thanksgiving dinner. How thankful we are for each one of them--15 of us in all with just J missing.
