Easter Sunday




Easter Sunday was a most exhausting day! We were up early to get the potatoes ready for our cookout. They were washed, boiled and foiled, then put in insulated containers.

We attended Easter services at the Methodist church in Carrizozo and were made to feel very welcome. Watts, Montagues and Thompsons also attended.

At 2:00 we arrived at Ft. Stanton for a special tour of the fort. It has served in many capacities throughout its lifetime, including TB hospital and internment camp during WWII. There are hopes it will rise again - and it would be a lovely location for that to happen.

The cookout was a success, we think, in spite of the WIND! The leaders said it was windier than last year, but that's a contest we didn't want to win. We should have cooked heavier foods. Shredded cheese for the baked potatoes has a tendency to blow away.

It's WINDY in E Oregon too. And snowy. And rainy. And cold
