Happy Easter

This is the photo of sunset last evening- Easter Eve- from our balcony. It was a beautiful evening. We had dinner in one of the fancy restaurants- the Polo Grill. It was terrific. We then went to the entertainment feauring two really good singers.

When we returned to the cabin the Easter Bunny had been to visit and left us a nice, big chocolate Easter bunny. Haven't had one in years. We plan to share it this afternoon- beginning with the ears.

Last night we also did something strange- we were asked to set the clocks back 1 1/2 hours in preparation for the time zone of India. I plan to do some research today to see why the unusual amount of time. Was nice to get extra sleep.

This morning I went to a Sunrise Service on the Pool Deck. It was thundering and lightening all around but it never rained. About 150 folks gathered and heard the story, sang the hymns and prayed together. It was led by the chaplain on board wtih the help of the Cruise Director. The chaplain must be Baptist and the liturgy was a curious blend of Catholic Mass, other liturgy and scripture. They did a nice job of maing all feel welcome. It was a joyfilled celebration.

There is even an Easter Egg Hunt and a time to make Easter Bonnets planned. The bonnets will be in a parade during Tea Time this afternoon.

So my thoughts, prayers and love go out to each of you on this special day.
