Speaking of funny Baptists...
I'll be at an assisted living facility in the morning and then heading off to services at the Paradise Baptist Church on Easter with three of the residents. I've got my niece to help (she's as excited as you might imagine), which is great because all three are wheel-chair bound this time out and two of them are impatient whip-crackers, one of whom has to go to the "powder room" every 30 minutes or so (they're funny though).
I did it a few years back; more fun than it sounds. The music and singing are great and some of the people there have attended church together for decades -- big social event for them and they look like a million bucks dressed in their Sunday best. It's cool to hear them reminisce and crack each other up after the services end.
Then...I'm having a couple of glasses of wine at home. Been on a cleanse since Sunday (a healthy one, but no alcohol allowed). Easter Sunday's the last day and down 6.5 so far with 3.5 to go.
