We made it to church alright time wise. It ran a little longer since the pastor spoke on the subject of what a "covenant" is in regards to the Last Supper (which was a Seder Supper). We then had Communion. It was a nice lead into the Easter season for me. I use to give a Seder Supper with the wording in the ritual scripts changed to include Christ. When I was studying about the significance between Easter and Passover when I was in my twenties, I went to a Jewish Temple on Ontario, CA and bought a Seder Supper plate. I wanted it to be as authentic as it could be. Not knowing any better, I actually tried to buy a lamb's bone... which the butcher told me would be way too big. So I went back to the temple to see what bone they used on the plate and I discovered that they use any bone but usually a chicken bone. Well, a chicken leg bone is just the right size... it was a little confusing because I was trying to be "exact". However, all of the elements are symbols and have a greater meaning behind them. I decided that if it was good enough for my Jewish friends, it should be for me. I still have that same plate today.
After Dave and I dropped off Riley at Kari's, we went to Starbucks in Des Moines (the one I was at last weekend) for a latte. Dave read the paper while I read my book. We also talked about what his week had been like and what the next week might/would bring. He has a lot going on at work and it is making him anxious. We then decided to go for a short drive where we could see the trees blooming and the daffodils coming out.
We came back to the house with pizza for Dave and Aaron. I won't touch the stuff right now. I have in the past few months had a bite of pizza, but it is something that I can live without, so I am trying to live without it. I still need to go to the grocery store here in a little while so that I have things I need for the week. A list would be a good thing to have in hand. I better get to making that happen. With the time change, there isn't the same amount of time left in this day. I am glad that it will be almost 7:30 pm when the sun is setting tonight. It will continue to gain sunlight here until the first day of summer... and at that time it will be around 10 pm when we will see it getting dark. I personally am going to take my time through this season and soak it in.
Hugs to all.

If you were looking for a lamb's bone, we have plenty of those here. Of course they would be rather smelly to post, so I won't make that offer. Aussies eat a lot of lamb. Roast Lamb and mint sauce is usually what we have.
It sounds like you had a lovely weekend. Country drives are a really nice relaxing thing to do. I like the too.
Hope you have a great week. Warm hugs. xx
Hi Danna,
Yes that was my car, lol. Luckily though, while hubby is home he drives it and I get to take the 4-wheel drive truck so I am not the one that needed to clean it off. hehehe I loved the pictures of your flowers and yes I know it is hopeful that spring is on the way, even though I think old man winter is vacationing in western NY! I hope you have a wonderful week and I will certainly try to around more often too!
