Well, Easter is over and this was a short week at work

Since I get Monday off for the Easter holiday and it was one of John's regular days off, that's how we could keep Brody overnight Sunday night and go to the movie on Monday.
Tuesday John went to the funeral of the mother of a very good friend, but unfortunately I could not go.
Wednesday we were treated to lunch by our boss - delicious food and great company!
Thursday several of us went to the Salad Luncheon at First United Methodist Church - which is always a good time and a delicious meal!  (Think about going to a salad potluck with all of the best recipes you'd like to try - and being able to!)  Thanks to Nancy for the treat.
Thursday was GOTRA's first night out for the 2011 season at US30 Speedway in Columbus (our hometrack) - we had 19 GOTRA cars there.  It also was Rich Anderson Memorial night - his wife Robin and granddaughter Allie were there to participate - his car number (#9) was retired, each of the GOTRA guys got a trophy that had belonged to Rich and the GOTRA cars were out on the track for the presentations and also to start the night's festivities.  Rich was a great GOTRA supporter, fellow racer and was also instrumental in getting our first Cornhusker Vintage Nationals off the ground.  Unfortunately Rich lost his battle with cancer last fall and we all lost a very dear friend.
I opted not to go to Columbus for the races cos I was afraid that it would wear me out.  Sounded like it was a good night of racing!
On Friday we each got a bouquet of flowers from Personnel Committee - thank you guys - what a nice surprise that was!
On Saturday morning we had Work Day at church - with a very short crowd I'm afraid - so we ordered pizza in instead of the normal Youth Club sloppy joes lunch that we do.  In the afternoon I even felt up to spending a little time out in the yard doing a little after winter cleanup after John got done mowing.  I can hardly wait for my energy to come back so I can do some more work outside!
Sunday I got up and put a turkey breast on - that was part of what we had for lunch when we celebrated Easter today - corn casserole, green bean casserole, kings hawaiian rolls, Grandma Rehder salad and three pasta salads.  We ate lunch, then spent some time outside while Brody hunted for Easter eggs and Brant enjoyed crawling around in the grass, then went back in for dessert (caramel brownie dessert and raspberry almond bars).  No one went away hungry that's for sure.  It was a beautiful May Day!
