Grandma Weaver's Egg Hunt

Yesterday was my #1 favorite Oaklyn Community Event (Opening Day for LL) and 4/14/19 was #2!  4/14/19 was the OFD Palm Sunday Annual Pancake Breakfast.  It's a great combination of tasty food and community spirit.  And, then, we went to Church and the Palm Sunday Anthem was a moving experience.  Again, a combination of music and congregational spirit.  But, neither of those events are the primary focus of my daily feelings of gratitude.  After the Anthem, we rushed off to Richland, PA.  That is where Grandma Weaver's Egg Hunt occurs each year and is a wonderful time.  Grandma Weaver is 98 years old and has been doing this for as long as I know.  First kids, then grandkids, and now GREAT grandkids!  All at the age of 98.  I am so grateful to have her in my and my kids' lives and for this yearly event.

My caring prayer of the day goes to my fellow choir members at OFR.  We are all so busy and we do not always get to practice as much as we'd like to.  But when the anthem comes together like it did this morning, it is such a moving experience.  A great way to kick off Holy Week!

My disagreement prayer today is for an inanimate object.  I-76, the "Sure-Kill Distressway!"  I hate that road and I pray that I can stay away from it as much as possible.  I also pray for all of the people who drive like idiots and cause the traffic to accumulate!

Our Family Movie Night to Knives Out!

12/26/19, the 2nd Day of Christmas, and we made it into a Family Movie Night.  On the 360th day of 2019, we went and saw Knives Out! and it was FANTASTIC.  It was a great time out as a family and the movie was as good as advertised (+97% on Rotten Tomatoes).   It just made us all very happy and, because of that, I am grateful for our family movie night to Knives Out!  We have 2-3 more movies we want to see over break, and this was a fine start!

80s Movies

During the Winter Break, we always have a lot of Family Movie Nights.  The 362nd day of 2019 was no different.  But, on 12/28/19, we found 80s movies on the On Demand.  Tonight's selections were Die Hard and St. Elmo's Fire.  CLASSICS!  So happy to be able to share my teenaged movie favorites with my teenager.  I am grateful for 80's movies and the nostalgia they bring up, and the fact that my teen likes them as much as I did/do!

Egg Casserole (from 12/27)

Image
So the 361st day of 2019 brought another Sherr Family Tradition. On 12/27/19,  Sarah  made us the egg casserole recipe that I got from  Beth Hagovsky , a colleague from "the good old days" in Penn Student Affairs. I love the recipe, it is ALWAYS good, and it makes me also remember the community we had way back then, that we still have, occasionally, when we get together, and also as FB friends. The best part about working at Penn has been all of the wonderful people I have met, and this recipe makes me think of them (and, as I said, it is SO GOOD!)  :-)  So, tonight, my gratitude is for Egg Casserole. And the happiness, on so many levels, it provided today.
