Day 29 Sunday 4/12/20 COVID LOCKDOWN

Easter Sunday April 12, 2020

Weather: sunny and clear

Lovely sleep in till 8:45 AM, sunshine streaming in window.  Rose to get coffee started and grilled a cider donut for Rich and I before church.

Easter Zooming - a blend of pre-recorded and live church - with 80 people in attendance including Doris, Deanna and Dick, Ginny, Louise, Connie, etc. I read the Gospel John 20: 1-18, so weird because I could n[t hear anyone else.  Watched our singing of Alleluia last year, and sang hymns with gusto.

COVID leadership meeting

Easter brunch Mimosas

Easter brunch in Denver - BJB

Easter Brunch - fritata with asparagus, pamigianna and ham; Easter Mimosas (no champagne so OJ, white wine, seltzer, amaretto, and a final grilled honeybun with amaretto syrup (YUM).  Best thing about fritata is that it was done in 20 minutes (thank you Alton Brown).

Later talked with sister Janet, who managed to score a small ham curbside from her butcher, and innovated a pineapple bake from a can of pineapples out of the back of her cupboard.  Kitty is a bit up and down - a lot of sleeping, and up and down emotionally.  She sobbed about Arnold's death as though it had just happened one day, then another 3 AM moment was in full conversation with him as though he were right in the room.

still bundled up to work outside

Shrubs blooming despite the cold

Afternoon out in the garden, clearing the front east woods of saplings and brush - SO MUCH WORK! and so much more to do. Great conversation with Eddie, agreed to howl at 8 PM.
