despite the weather not being so grand for lake activities, we still managed to have a good time being with each other and playing a few games, watching ncaa basketball, eating a LOT, and correcting each others grammar, because josefys will be josefys.

i enjoyed a visit back to my first church on Easter Sunday, and we got to see some old family friends which is always fun too. they have remodeled the whole church and it looks great, but i remember going a few years ago and looking at the blue steps by the childrens wing. these giant blue steps were my fave childhood memories at church, where after sunday school we would all wait for our parents and play quiet water, still water, 1, 2, 3 FREEZE. and sometimes sneak in a jump from the top step if no one was looking. i was mortified to discover that these giant blue steps were actually quite small. now they are gone altogether. where do kids play quiet water, still water, 1, 2, 3, FREEZE these days??

I know what you mean about things being smaller than you remember them being when you were younger. I used to think the hallway in the Midland house was REALLY long and big, but as an adult...not so much.

I'm surprised to see there is nothing mentioned about asparagus. I know that asparagus is a main staple of the Easter meal with the Josefy clan having consumed my fair share there over the years. I was reminded of my missing asparagus this year when I walked into the kitchen at church and found our cook preparing, what else? ASPARAGUS! So, in an instant, I was both sad that I missed asparagus with the Josefy clan, and happy that I will be consuming large quantities of the wonderful veggie tonight. Please pass along to K-Jo.
