Sad

Today I have been sad.
Preston is doing so well. He is having to stay home now on Sunday mornings. I hate that we cannot go together to Easter service, on Sun a.m. I love to go to church on Christmas and Easter, etc. But the Lord knows all about it. I have been in tears a few times today. Junior said I could go, but I said no, I went last Sunday a.m. and it is his turn, and it wouldn't be as special if we cannot go together! I don't feel complete without my hubby, especially to church. Missie is actually going with friends to their church in a.m. to their Easter program. She helped them set up for the play and clean the church yesterday, so she wanted to go to the program. I was so thrilled because this family has 8 eight children and they are "good children." They don't have the dress standards we do, but other than that, they are so sweet and the 15 yr. old dd and Missie had a good talk yesterday about dating, prematial sex, etc. She really helped Missie. She explained to Missie about courtship instead of dating, which I had already talked to her about. But Hannah really got through to Missie and for that I am thankful. Anyhow, they are picking her up by 8:30 in a.m. and talking her with them. I will stay with Preston, and hubby will go to our own church.
For Easter dinner, I am fixing ham which is cooking now, turkey ham, tossed salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, I love ham gravy, homemade rolls, cheesecake for dessert. There is cherry pie fill to put on the cheesecake for those who want it.
I made 4 kinds of cookies today, using splenda. Oatmeal, oatmeal choc. chip, choc. chip and peanut butter.
So now I need to go and wash dishes.
