Easter Season with Family

George took this gorgeous Panorama on Easter Sunday at Black Mountain Overlook near Crab Orchard,  Tennessee.  
Dear Family and Friends,   Can you believe that April is almost over??????  Mercy Me--time is flying by!!!!!!    Hope you had a wonderful Palm Sunday AND Easter Weekend...   George and I certainly did...We visited George's daughter,  Kelly,  in her new apartment in Nashville,  TN  on Palm Sunday.   Then my son, Mark,  and his gal, Diana,  came to see us on Easter Sunday....  Thank God for FAMILIES!!!!!

Today I will share pictures from both special days, but unfortunately,  we only took the one picture of Kelly on Palm Sunday... I'm sure we were just too excited to see her new home.....   We obviously had a great day both on Palm Sunday and on Easter Sunday... Hope you enjoy today's pictures.

The one picture we took on Palm Sunday (4/14/19) when we were in Nashville,  visiting  Kelly;   Look at that fancy dessert she was eating...... (No calories of course!!! ha ha)



Back to the Fairfield Glade Overlook:   George took this picture of Mark,  Diana and me on Easter, 2019!!!!
WELL---enough pictures for today!!!!   Hope you enjoyed seeing these family pictures...  The older I get,  the more important it becomes to be with FAMILY.     All in all,  we had a wonderful April ---including both Palm Sunday and Easter... Thanks be to God.

Happy Easter to ALL

My precious  Great Granddaughter 
Just stopping by a day early to say HAPPY EASTER to ALL!!!!!   I'll share 2 adorable pictures for you on this Easter Sunday....  The first picture above is Lil Miss Vivian (age 15 months)  all dressed up in her adorable Easter Dress...


The family, including  Daddy!!!

This picture taken with the Easter Bunny is of Vivian and her beautiful and very pregnant Mama.   AND---if you look closely,  you will see Brooke holding the phone...  Tristan  (Brooke's husband and Vivian's Daddy,  who is deployed with the Navy) was not able to be there in person,  but was there on Facetime with his family.







Happy Easter to ALL.    Hopefully,  you are enjoying this weekend with some family members.   Don't forget to remember those who are not able to be with their families this year.

Christ is RISEN.    Alleluia!!!

In God's Love,
