Trip to Korea - Day #1 - Departure (April 29, 2011)

We have been trying to eat up all perishable food items before leaving for Korea.  We had the last portion of the Easter eggs for breakfast just before we left for the airport.



Four remaining Easter Eggs - Eaten up on Day 5


We were excited to be on our way to Korea and also excited to fly out of our new airport.  Granted that Kalamazoo is such a small airport and there are not many flights out of it.  We were so proud to see the place decorated with so many interesting art pieces.  I have attached some of the art pieces displayed.

All benches at the airport were painted withvarious local attractions

Easter Eggs

Darryl's sister, Lani, and her husband, Tom, were visiting us last week.  They spend the summer months in Upper Michigan (Copper Harbor) and the winter months in Florida (Fort Myers) so they travel between MI and FL twice a year.  They were on their way up to upper Michigan and stopped by to see us.  They came on Thursday last week and went to church with us for Maundy Thursday service which I was involved in - I read three bible lessons during the service.  On Friday, we all went out for dinner (Darryl's two brothers and one niece also came to dinner).  After we got home after dinner, I decided to color the eggs for Easter.  Lani and Tom along with Darryl weren't thrilled about the idea - they were saying that coloring eggs was for kids.  My answer to that protest was that we were all kids at heart.  So I made them color the eggs.  Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of Tom's and Lani's eggs to show off.  I ate two eggs for breakfast yesterday and two today.  Here are the eggs I created.  I have a few more to take picutres of and eat up.

Easter Sunday and Others

A couple of days prior to Easter Sunday have special names such as Maundy Thursday & Good Friday.  We, in the office, thought that it was unfair for Saturday (between Good Friday and Easter Sunday) and Monday (after Easter Sunday) not have their own unique names.  So we decided to name these two days and here is what we came up with.

April 21 - Maundy Thursday
April 22 - Good Friday
April 23 - Awesome Saturday
April 24 - Easter Sunday
April 25 - Jelly Bean Monday
