A New Week!

Good morning to all of you. I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend celebrating the resurrection of the Lord.

I thought I would share a few photos I took last week of the safari park about 5 minutes from our campground. Zoey didn’t know what to make of these animals and actually wanted to take on the bison about 3 feet from our truck!

Cute sunbathing turtles.

A herd grazing near the visitor center.

Beautiful and majestic animals.

Love the fuzzy antlers.💜

Lots of bison close by too.

This big guy was up close and personal and Zoey was sure she could show him who was boss.😂 We are REALLY working on the small dog barking but don’t seem to be making much progress.

Here was our camp set up. We didn’t spend a lot of time outside because it was so cold and windy, but enjoyed puttering about inside. We did have a few water issues but Dennis fixed them all. We also had a problem with the furnace not shutting off, but with the help of a Facebook group of owners of the same trailer, that was quickly resolved too. The trip did exactly what we wanted and I think we were able to get the new trailer “kinks” worked out. It looks big but I think it’s the perspective of the picture. It’s only a 26 foot trailer. We had the entire campground to ourselves the first night and only a few others the second night. As you can see, still no leaves here. We’ve made reservations for three nights in the same spot next month and five days in the Black Hills with Piper in June.

Our church is a fairly small one and one of the ladies made this “Tomb” from cardboard boxes and paper bags a few years ago. I thought it turned out well, especially with the dim lighting during the Friday night service. Dennis and Jeff, the pastor, were joking around after breakfast yesterday. Dennis told him to go check out the tomb and snapped this photo just as Jeff said no one was in there. He has risen! 

We had Sunrise service, breakfast at church and then the usual morning service. It was WONDERFUL!

I’ve knitted a few washcloths as a break from the shawl.  I really like this color I’m using now. It’s called periwinkle.

Progress is being made on the prayer shawl for the hospital. I’ve just begun the border and I’m making up the pattern as I go. I added a row of eyelets near the bottom for a bit of interest. Of course it will still need blocked.

I’m finding I’m not knitting nearly as much with a retired husband. 😍 We seem to be on the go a LOT. He’s waiting for me to finish this so we can go buy a new toilet seat for the camper and wash the truck. I love being with him so it’s NOT an issue at all, I just won’t be making as quick of a progress on projects. And that’s just fine. Time with each other is much more important.

Tomorrow we’re helping at a funeral luncheon at church. It’s nice to have the time to help others out and it’s like old times in the kitchen of the church that we met in. We literally met in Sunday school at this church.💕

Take care and I hope the weather begins to even out for all of us.

Blessings and love,

Betsy
