It’s the 18th of April, and in 1775, history tells us of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. It has been reported that the event didn’t really occur, but I still enjoy the poem anyway. I hope you all had a blessed Resurrection Day and celebration of the secular side of the holiday.
Going backward this week, I’ll begin with last Monday, when Lynette Vlasak and Sally Dana treated me to lunch at Tabor Bar and Grill in honor of my birthday the day before. Tuesday was a special day at the Kendall Public Library, as author Sue Berg met with a large grouping in the west wing to introduce the attendees to her “Driftwood Mystery” series of novels, with main character Jim Higgins. On Thursday the gals were in Milwaukee at Am Fam Field for the Brewers’ home opening game which they won. On Sunday they had breakfast at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church to celebrate Resurrection Day.
On Saturday the Vlasak and Zellmer families and friends gathered at the Ranch in Johnnycake Hollow for a holiday get-together and dinner. Lowell and Arlys Zellmer, Allan and Heather Vlasak, Lynette and Sally, Chip and Mary Marty and offspring, Rachel Zellmer and kids from Madison, Lisa Goostree of Baraboo and Mariane Weidenbach of Viroqua were the gladsome group that were there.
Coming down the valley, we saw Ron and Arlene Garvens at Club Chapparal near Wonewoc for their Easter brunch.
Mary Parkhurst’s daughter Debbie left for her home in Lexington, Ky., after spending a week and a half trying to get in some spring outdoor work.
On Tuesday after Bible study, Jani Bolstad of New Lisbon and I celebrated both of our birthdays with lunch at the Pony Express Supper Club. On Wednesday I dined with the Hill Country Belles Red Hats gals at the Summit Restaurant near La Valle. On Saturday our Red Hats Queen Mother brought Easter treats for me and the Young guys. After church on Resurrection Day, Christopher Young and son Kit of rural Hillsboro joined me for Easter buffet at Club Chapparal.
Christ has risen! He is risen Indeed! This greeting was heard throughout the Christian world, and because He has risen, all who believe in Him and accept Him as their personal Savior will live with Him in eternity when this life is over. What comfort this knowledge this gives for those of us who believe. Hallelujah!
