April 1 through April 10:
On Thursday, 4/1, Dad and I got our second doses of the Moderna vaccine.
Government officials say that two weeks after our second shot, we should be pretty safe.
Friday was Good Friday I took some lilies to Rick’s marker.
On Saturday, I made some deviled eggs and boiled and mashed some sweet potatoes in preparation for Easter dinner tomorrow They will go along with a ham, carrots and asparagus that I’m making and some mac and cheese Kellie is making. We will have angel food cake with peaches and whipped cream for dessert. See picture below.
Sunday, 4/4 – I hope everyone had a blessed Easter. Emma came over early to hunt 8 candy-filled eggs in my front yard. Then, she and PaPa and I sat down to a breakfast of fresh-baked blueberry muffins before going to church. Dad returned to in-person church with us today. Emma participated in a second Easter egg hunt during Sunday school with more candy. When we got home from church, Emma had another egg hunt in her front yard, but these eggs had some money and other fun things in them. We ate our family Easter dinner at JP and Kellie’s dining table because it is bigger than mine.
I have been trying very hard to watch my sugar intake, so I decided a salad would be a wise choice for Monday’s lunch.
The rest of the week was filled with routine activities.
April 11 through April 20:
Dad, Emma and I went to Sunday school and church on Sunday, 4/11. And we went for our afternoon walk, as usual, on Monday afternoon.
Tuesday, 4/13 – I volunteered for a couple of hours at North River Care Pregnancy Center before delivering some meals to a young family from church who just had their third child. The others are aged 3 and 1 ½. Just before 8 p.m. we got a video call from my brother Bill’s daughter, Christina, in Nebraska. I had replied earlier today to participate in a video baby shower for her on Saturday and I thought she must be calling about that, but she was calling to tell her PaPa and me that she had a surprise for us. The next thing we saw was her holding a baby! She said, “surprise, she decided to come 5 weeks early!” They are both fine. The baby weighed 6 pounds and 9 ounces and was 19 inches long. They named her Elodie Joyce De Boeck. What a great way to end our day.

On Friday, 4/16, I set off driving to Ormond Beach to have a short visit with my brother-in-law, Edward. I was very pleased that our nephew (Rick’s sister’s son, Mat) and his fiancée, Lindsay, were there visiting from Knoxville. We went out to lunch to celebrate Edward’s “day-before birthday”. I left after lunch and arrived home around 6 p.m.
Saturday. 4/17 – Today is not only my brother-in-law, Edward’s birthday but also would have been my father’s mother’s birthday, Juanita Hunter (we called her GiGi). I spent the day with Emma so that JP and Kellie could join their good friends, Greyson and Rebecka, to go to Bush Gardens to enjoy the park and their food and wine festival. While they were gone, Emma and I participated in Christina’s virtual baby shower. Much to our surprise, Christina and Wim were not there when the event started. We soon found out that they had just left the hospital with baby, Elodie, and were on the way home. The news announced today that three million lives have been lost, world-wide, to the Coronavirus.
Sunday, 4/18 – After Sunday school and church, Dad, Emma and I joined a group at Ruby Tuesday’s for lunch to celebrate three of their birthdays. I don’t know why, but my back started spasming after we got home, so I took it easy.
Monday, 4/19 – Today was my niece, and new mom’s birthday and the 20th was her father, my brother, Bill’s birthday. While I was at my annual wellness visit, the doc said I was doing good watching my diet, but she didn’t think I would meet the surgeon’s required blood sugar level on my July test. To help, she doubled the dosage of one of my two diabetes meds and also told me to cut out all carbs. She gave me some muscle relaxers for my spasms so a spent a good portion of the afternoon asleep, as well as most of the next two days.
April 21 through April 30:
On Thursday, 4/22, Dad and I attended the “Senior Saints” meeting at church in the evening.
This meeting was a hymn-sing and organizational meeting. Everyone had a good time and enjoyed the food. I over did it a little bit so took a muscle relaxant when I got home and went back to bed.
On Sunday, 4/25 the three of us attended Sunday school and church.
For the rest of the week, we were back on our regular schedule.
