It was a great Easter season for Rusty and me. We attended small group discussions each Wednesday evening, focussing on various aspects of Lent.
Then on the Wednesday prior to Easter, we experienced the living dramatization of Leonardo da Vinci's
Last Supper. Each apostle speaks about his life and his relationship with Jesus. Each soliloquy ends with, "Is it I, Lord?"

| Our friend, Jack Broderick, played Judas. He's the third person left of Jesus, next to the spilled salt. |
On Good Friday I planted over 200 potatoes in the St. Francis Garden.
 |
| All food raised in this garden is donated to feed the hungry in Lincoln. |
Easter Sunday began with a glorious celebration at First Plymouth church.
 |
| The orchestra and choir, led by Tom Trenney, was spectacular! |
Recently the ceiling of the church was repainted. An astronomist from UNL helped the church locate correct positioning of the stars on the ceiling to reflect the sky above Bethlehem when Jesus was born.
And then there was the traditional Easter egg hunt.

| What a cutie! |
We had a little time before our dinner reservation, so we stopped by the Sunken Gardens.
Thank goodness for modern technology. Even though I couldn't be with my daughters on Easter, they sent a couple of good pics onto my phone.

| Olivia, Chad, Pierce and Reece. |
Pierce made the news when Channel 5 KCTV did a piece on the fast pitches of Royal's pitcher, Ventura.
 |
| Pierce got an interview after he hit a 92 mph pitch! |

We are looking forward to our next visit with the Fishers and helping Pierce celebrate his 7th birthday.
Thank you for sharing the pictures of your idyllic Easter ... minus a part of the family, of course. (: You, Di, looked pretty as a picture in your picture hat. My favorite was the "portrait" of you in the Sunken Gardens ... where I was somehow transported back to the 1940's!
