Simple…Yet Very Nice

The weather yesterday was absolutely beautiful. Instead of being in the house the later part of the day cooking a big ham meal, we decided to head out for a picnic. We still had ham, but it was with crackers and cheese. Instead of sitting at our kitchen table to eat, we sat in the car to eat (a little too chilly to eat outside) and enjoyed a lake view.

The rest of the day included making a sand castle, watching wildlife, playing ball and well…just spending some nice time together.

I have to share something our son said. In Michigan, we have a can/bottle deposit of 10 cents. There was one summer where we went walking along a few roads and picked them up to make a few extra dollars and get some exercise. Spring is the perfect time to do it since you find a lot after the snow melts.

We were driving down a road and saw a few cans on the side of the road. Then another…and another. My son said, “They are like Easter eggs…we can go walking and see what we can find!” I thought it was too cute. It was getting late in the day, so we didn’t do it. It probably would have paid for our gas money for the day but we did make 30 cents just from what we found when we stopped at a few parks.

A simple Easter…yet very nice
