He is risen!

Good morning,
He is risen! HE IS RISEN INDEED ! !
We hope that you will remember the reason for this celebration day. Our Lord and Saviour has risen and defeated Satan. What a wonderful thought and hope for our lives. What else can be said?
Our church service Friday evening went well with more folks there than during the rest of the lenten services. Margriet did an outstanding job of reading the lessons.
We have been experiencing rather warm weather for the past bit. Most of the time the temperature has been 10-15º F higher than our normals. Especially inland. The winds have been off of the lake, keeping it some cooler. Inland, there have been several cities setting high temperature records for this time of year.

As you can see, I never finished yesterday’s addition to this. We were so busy at not being busy, I just never got back to it. A bit cooler today than yesterday. Looks like it will be until the low that is parked over us moves. It causes the wind to continue to blow over the lake, cooling us. Yesterday was cloudy most of the day, while today should have an abundance of sunshine. At least it is starting out that way.
The Easter services went well and were packed, as expected. The sand a couple of numbers and it really seemed weird not being up in front with them. They did sound good though. The brunch between services was also very good, as usual. Could have eaten more, but know better (at least once in awhile). We didn’t "have" to go out for a lunch yesterday. Margriet built a couple dozen orange muffins for the occasion. We left the remains there, knowing that someone would consume them.
We really did very little yesterday. There was not even any auto race to watch! I spent most of the day emptying out the numerous floppy disks we have and putting the contents onto flash memory sticks, before the disks die of old age. It is incredible how many floppies fit onto one stick - each about the size of a cigarette lighter! I have not put most of our photos (didn’t count, but a couple thousand at least) onto one 512 MB stick and it is only about 9% filled! I know I have many in other places, but am very sure the stick will not be closet of full. Also there are some duplicates that have to be sorted through. But that is for another time.
Not only have I moved pictures, but also many, many other files to the sticks. One stack of disks contained a back-up of everything on this computer from a couple of years ago, when I had a virus on it. None of the stack of disks had any viruses on them, so everything seems to have been downloaded correctly. In a way, it was some fun to view the old files and pictures again. I didn’t read or look at all that many, just those that peaked my interest. I kept most of the emails that Margriet and I exchanged - there are a lot of them. Some I had to look at! They were interesting.
While moving the files, I put them on different appropriate sticks and grouped most into appropriate folders. Took a longer time, but will be easier to handle them in the future. I still have a few floppies that I cannot open. Of course they contain some information I really would like to retrieve. Wish I knew a way to do that, then I will through them away. I did have some older floppies I was able to access the files and remove them, but could not re-format the disk again for some future use. Those I threw away, rather than be sorry at some future date. I still have numerous floppies to go through, but not at one sitting. Enough for the moment. Maybe another day.
A couple of days ago I dug out the stand I used under the printer I had before the last one and put it under the new printer. The previous printer was too wide to use it, but it is just the right size for this printer. The stand is actually designed for holding shoes in the closet, but works very nicely this way. Provides more desktop space - piles can be wider now rather than so high! The only disadvantage is the stand is made from wire and the printer causes it to "shake" when printing. I think it did the same with the first printer too. Anywho, it is a good deal. By putting the stand back into use, it got me to going through some of the floppies on my desk and shelf.
Margriet made a fabulous Easter dinner yesterday evening. She made the pork roast so tender, I had a hard time slicing it! Along with the roast we had mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy, green beans, and spiced hot pears. I never had pears prepared like that before. Everything was so good I over filled myself! Wish I had more capacity! There are some leftovers too. Not too sure what she will do with the roast, but we had mashed potato cakes for breakfast with sausage. With a cook like Margriet in the house, a guy could gain a lot of weight. Matter of fact, since we have been tangled up, I think I have gained at least 30#!
Time to get the day a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
