We had planned to drive to Van Buren on Easter Sunday, and attend church there where great-grandson Hudson Cheatham was to be baptized, but at last minute it was postponed for many reasons, one, illness of some, etc. So, Keith and Karen called and said, "Come over after church and share our Easter ham dinner," which we did, and enjoyed the afternoon. Before we left the dinner table, Karen brought in a big batch of hard-boiled eggs, coloring supplies, and every one decorated them, with crosses, "He is risen" and other art; then, their usual egg hide and hunt. They are all so young-at-heart, lots of fun and Love.
Easter was later than usual this year, and now, suddenly, May is here, the month of Decorations. We'll try to list them as they happen.
May also is clean-air month, family wellness, better sleep, breathe easy, mental health, hearing and speech, dental awareness, stroke awareness, healthy vision, arthritis, skin cancer prevention, correct posture, bike, get caught reading, moving, women's health, older Americans, garage sale, book, motorcycle safety, barbecue, salsa, egg, hamburger, salad, and SMILE month.
Thursday, May 2, is National Day of Prayer, May 8 is V.E. Day, May 12 Mother's Day, and May 27 is Memorial Day. A busy month.
Speaking of May, in a book of "Thoughts for Each Month," headed by May is:
"Spend your time with happy people;
You'll find, if your do,
You will share their gladness,
And you'll be happy too,
But if no one near seems happy,
Do not seek afar;
Spread a little joy around you,
Smiles will then be where your are."
Happy birthday to Nicole Evans, Allen Caswell, Brad Crudup, Orrin Hacker, Stephanie Reed, Mendy Rush.
Happy years, all!
