Easter Sunday

Definitely a day to reflect on life's gifts and appreciate what I have.
  I started off the day attending the church service here in the park.  It was well attended and a happy occasion, it was also the last service in the park until fall.  Just another one of those last things we are dealing with as the winter comes to an end.  We had a nice breakfast when I got back and then got our day started.  We did some other stuff with the Az room for our overnight guest tonight and she stopped by to say she would be a late arrival asking if we could just leave the door unlocked.  Kind of like when our kids were out late nights, eh?
  It was another hot day in the sun and was quite warm early on in the day.  Taking advantage of the break in activity we took our laundry to the one in the park.  Marg was able to get enough machines to get everything going at once, making for a shorter time in there.  After she called so I would come down to help carry out the clothes and bring the freezes in the freezer.  It park manager's daughter was married this weekend, so the family were all here in the park to spend the day together.  Marg has a special relationship with her kids and being a hot day wanted to give them the freeze's for a treat.  They all give her hugs, especially the youngest girl.
  By the time she got it all steamed and put away, we were well into the day so only had a short time to take a break.  About 3:30 we got together with Blanke's & Binger's.  We had decided not to go to the Easter dinner in the park and they were of a like mind, so we agreed to go out for supper.  We had not been to the German restaurant this winter, so that was the logical choice.  We went down to Zer Kat, but isn't open on Sunday, so being Easter didn't help.  Fortunately for us there is a second one [Bavarian Point] in the same complex, but we had never eaten there.  As luck would have it they had seating and we were early enough to get seated almost immediately.  Now sometimes that is an omen of beware, but remember we were early for dinner.  The girls were immediately impressed as there was a well stocked salad bar.  The guys, with the 3 sizes of beer glasses with tap beer, almost all German.  I had a nice wheat beer, something I only order with certain meals.  I had a sausage plate with 3 different kinds of worst.  Marg had a nice roulade dish.  Both were excellent, in fact the bratwurst is made in house and was awesome.  So an accidental discovery that may change our plans in the future.
  When we got back we went for a walk around the park, as we needed to settle our dinner.  Well there were about 8 of us and walk is a generous description of what we did.  It was more like a slow moving visit with anyone out and about.  There were 3 stops to say farewell to people leaving tomorrow morning, one to look at the baby owls and several just to chat with 4 or 5 other folks.  It must have taken an hour to walk the park.  After we ended up with the group of walkers for coffee at our place as well as a couple of drop-ins, two being another couple leaving tomorrow.  Beth had made a cake that she brought over, so it ended up being coffee & cake.
