Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone!  I hope you are having a great day and that you have been blessed to be able to spend some time with those you love.  I spent some time earlier to day with my dad and many of my other family members.  I love getting to do so whenever possible.  Today was a mixed blessing because besides the occasion being Easter we all also got together to say goodbye to my brother, Kolin, who is leaving tomorrow to spend about four months in the Mideast.  He does Computer Aided Drafting or CAD and the company he works for is sending him their to work.

Below is a picture that was taken of Kolin and me at our family gathering earlier today.  My family means the world to me and so I’m always looking to take pictures with them or of them.  This bittersweet occassion was no different, so I had someone take this photo of us together.  I hope you enjoy seeing it.  I know it is very special to me.

I love you, Kolin!  Go do your job and then come back safe.  We will all miss you very much.  Keep in touch with us, as I know that will make me feel better about your being so very far away and maybe it will even seem to help the time pass more quickly.

Thanks to all of you who visit this blog.  I hope you enjoy it  and will visit regularly.  I’m sorry that this particular post isn’t specifically about hummingbirds, but I wanted to wish all of you Easter blessings and share with you how my day was spent.  What a great day it has been and how truly blessed I feel about my life.  May each of you also feel truely blessed on this Easter Sunday.
