1. I hopped in the Sube this morning and drove to Coeur d'Alene to join worshipers at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in continuing to celebrate Easter. In her homily, The Rev. Holladay Sanderson looked squarely at the deaths of the two students who were killed trying to stop shootings in their schools and at the loss of Christian writer, Rachel Held Evans. She also looked squarely at the continuation of their lives in the memory of their courage and in the admiration and inspiration that will continue long after their deaths.
2. I returned home and assured myself that Charly was doing just fine, and blasted out to Ed's house in Kingston. We piled into his pickup and drove out to Jake and Carol Lee's house to check out the work they are doing on their property. Things looked good there and we made a visit nearby to Garren and Nancy and then took a drive along the CdA River and looked at what things look like at the old Dudley Landing, once a very busy logging staging area.
3. For the first time this year, we ate family dinner outside. Christy prepared a stellar dinner. We started with a rum cocktail that was part Mimosa, part Dark and Stormy and ate pickled green beans as an appetizer. Before long, dinner appeared: crab deviled eggs, zucchini boats, baked lemony chicken, and a spinach/strawberry/Cougar gold cheese salad. Dazzling. Christy also prepared a very tasty blackberry crisp, Keto style.
Carol and Paul had just returned from Meridian where they helped put on Burt Roberts' memorial service and reported that it was a beautiful service, very well attended, and a very fitting way to say good by to Burt. So we talked about that and moved on to a variety of other subjects. It was a lovely evening.
