Boulder Rez Easter Sunrise

Published April 21, 2019

It is Easter. He has Risen.

Sunrise service, yes. Mexicana Easter, sadly no. Ash would continue our tradition with Tom’s Jersey family this year. Only fair. The East Coast Wilps are MOVING, building a beachside retirement home on Florida’s Atlantic. Tom’s last childhood home visit. Life’s meant to be lived – for ALL generations.

We as parents not required to stay feet-planted, caretakers of old homes past. Congrats Steve & Beth!

Early wakes Sunday, my second Easter Sunrise. This season, short 20-minute drive to the Boulder Rez. BEAUTIFUL morning. Laid-back, beach chair/blanket atmosphere. Cross planted at water’s edge. PEACEFUL Lutheran celebration. Day centered on our Creator, His resurrection – & this year, no SNOW.

Daybreak DINER breakfast. Comfort food chosen to replace 5 years of Mexicana past. No tears, change is good. Ash will be back next year. Helps appreciate what ya have/time shared. PLUS, LOVE LOVE a good diner. Dig the buzz of old-timers/diner stool regulars. Heavy grub, FULL belly. Hour nap likely 💤

Diner MEMORIES. Weeklies of Alice, Flo & Vera serving chili (& kissing GRITS) @ Mel’s 😊

Happy Easter y’all. He is Risen ✞
