Yesterday was a triple header: Easter, my daughter's birthday and April Fool's day.
No fooling.
When my daughter was little, she used to say proudly, "I was born on April 1st, but I'm not a fool!
It was a magical day. I went to church in the morning. It was a lovely service. I could almost put myself into the resurrection scene. Feeling the awe of the empty tomb. Feeling the exhilaration and joy seeing Jesus appear, resurrected just as He had promised.
After church, I headed to the store to buy eggs to make deviled eggs for dinner. A a bottle of micro brew for my brother. Oh, I forgot to tell you - we were also celebrating my brother's birthday in advance. His birthday is April 3rd. When my daughter was born a week early, 28 years ago, my brother allegedly groaned, "Oh great, now I have to share my birthday!"
But this year he didn't seem to mind. He made the most tasty ham! The rest of us brought the rest of the meal.
My daughter and son-in-law called while I was shopping. They wanted to pick me up early and head to Tryon Creek for a pre-supper hike.
I thought that was a great idea. Maybe it would help balance out my holiday eating!
Dinner was not until 5:00 p.m. they picked me up at 1:30. We were all quite hungry. So before our hike, we stopped in downtown Lake Oswego to see if my son-in-law's favorite bakery was open. It was!
It was my first visit. I am swooning remembering the experience.
It is entirely gluten free. My son-in-law is even more gluten intolerant than I am. Everything was divine! And if I didn't know it was gluten free, in would never have guessed!
The name of the bakery is Kyra's Baked Goods. Here is their website: https://www.kyrasbakeshop.com
Our hike was lovely. It felt so good to breathe fresh air and just be out in nature. We pushed Baby Gracie in her jogging stroller. You can tell she comes from an outdoor loving family. She was all smiles!
Dinner at my brother's house was a blast. My favorite part, besides the ham, was when we went around the table sharing memories of the birthday people. This has become a beloved family tradition.
As usual, I have so much more to say, but it is late, and I have a busy day tomorrow.
So I will stop here and wish you a lovely evening.
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Zita
P.S. Here are my hooping videos from yesterday and today: Days 277 and 278!
