April, 2023

The most important part of April...Easter!! How blessed we are to be able to worship the Lord in a free country and even more blessed that we have a Savior who was willing to die to save us...HE IS RISEN!! In addition to celebrating Easter at the house with family and friends, we went to Florida for the southeast gathering of the National El Camino Owners Association, camped for a week at Grand Bayou so Kenneth and Daniel could participate in the annual fishing tournament for Metro, annual crawfish boil at Arvis and Pattie's, volunteered at at Gingerbread House fundraiser and got a new roof on the house!

Visiting Nana in the hospital...will be happy when we can get her healthy!!

Madison's first crawfish boil!! No better place for good crawfish but at Arvis and Pattie's!

Pattie finally got to meet Madison!


She loved the Cat in the Hat at the GBH fundraiser!


Bad weather forced the fundraiser inside, but the turnout was still great!




Kenneth and I fished for a couple of days after their tournament and did pretty good!



Beautiful Kaylie Jayne going to prom!! I can't believe she's almost all grown up!




Daniel won the grand prize - a live scope!! He and his dad are going to have lots of fun with this!

So happy we stayed a few extra days to enjoy this beautiful park! We watched sunsets, took walks, fished and just enjoyed the quiet...so nice!

Our gathering was at the Gainsville Raceway in Florida and they had drag racing that day. One of my favorite things to do!! 



Just like the Hot Rod Power Tour!

I am trying not to go overboard on holidays anymore and I think I did very well for Madison's first Easter.
