He is Risen indeed. Those two phrases are probably the most well known in Western religion, and repeated millions of times on this holiest of days. Christians around the World are greeting each other with “He is Risen” and replying with “He is Risen indeed”. Now I’m sure you all know the story and if you don’t, there’s dozen of shows on tv depicting Christ rising from the tomb where he was placed and ascending to heaven. On to the day,
Yesterday we landed in California around 9:30am and took the train to the rental car center. Once in our car, we headed into the city. First stop was the World famous Nike Store where both boys have been wanting to go. It was 5 stories tall right downtown in Union Square. When we were through there, we walked up the street into probably the most famous Chinatown outside of China. Our first stop was lunch at the Cathay House where we had the best food including sweet and sour chicken, like you’ve never had before, beef chow mein, fresh Rock Cod over bok choy, bbq ribs, pot stickers, and best of all, some prawns or shrimp cooked in a honey and walnut sauce. It was amazing and the best part of it all, was all that food was only $66!
After that we walked around before heading out to Sacramento. Once there we stopped at a mall for some socks and other supplies the boys needed, plus a haircut for Ty. We arrived at Grandma Dixie’s at 5 and settled in for 45 minutes before leaving the boys and heading to the grocery store for food. When we made it back, Lori made a lasagna to take to the party we’re going to today. I went to bed around 9 and Lori followed about an hour after.
Today we are going to some cousins house around 1:30. But now, I need some coffee! Dixie looks great and is sharp as a tack. We’re glad to be here and she’s thrilled we’re here. Time to run, have a great Easter and remember the meaning of the day, as someday, we all will rise to heaven! God Bless.
