Happy Easter, He has risen and we are forgiven

thinking about the fish we would like to catch

It has been a busy busy couple of weeks.  Friends, Gary and Mary, left early Saturday morning after staying with us for 5 nights.  We did a lot, saw a lot and ate way too much!
The half day fishing trip was fun and we caught many fish but they were small.  The 50 pound sting ray was the highlight of the trip.  The captain cut the stinger off and let it go.  The captain was nearly pulled over board but with the help of Terry and I he was able to stay on board and save his $1000 reel and rod!  We had fresh fish for lunch and it was good.
I THINK I have most everything submitted into LuLu for the book.  I intend to call them today and see what they say.  I know there will be a lot of questions and a lot more work for me but I needed to get things submitted in order for them to tell me what I need to change.  I e-mailed John M and Richard A yesterday as they are on one of the pictures I want in the book.  It seems a bit crazy but one needs written permission from anyone who is in a picture.  Because of that there were one or two pictures I could not use.  One was of our basketball team from the 7/8 grade.  I have no idea how much work it would be to try and contact guys you have not seen in 50 years!! I do know it would not be worth the trouble.
Terry and I spent a quiet Easter.  After church we stayed for a bit and had goodies.  For Easter dinner we had a simple but delicious cream potatoes, ham and asparagus.  We spent it at home and just the two of us.  Quiet and peaceful, which was a welcome from the last week or so.  We did think about last year's Easter when John/Mary and family was here.  That was fun. 
I did start to do a bit of planning for our trip to MN.  We intend to take in national parks: Congaree, Shenandoah, Acadia and Cuyahoga which will be the last of the parks for us in the 48 states.  We have not planned when or how to take in the last four which are plane trips away!
Both Terry and I have tennis at 7:30 this morning.  I like the early time and Terry would rather have a later time but you get what the system comes up with.  Sometime soon we need to sit down with the two pros and discuss "if" we will have a team next year.  One of the pros, Phil, had knee replacement so he has been out.
Enough, the FP is almost down to the last drop.
