Easter Sunday

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Tarpon Springs

We went to the Greek Church in Tarpon Springs Easter Sunday...(Greek Easter this year is April 19th, as they use a different method of calculating the date). Steve had never been and was fascinated with all of the ceremonial traditions. He commented that he'll not complain about standing up in our church back home any more...we were standing most of the time! It brought back memories for me of being in Church with my Greek Grandma and Mom, and of celebrating Greek Easter as a child in Iowa.

We purchased all of the ingredients for a Greek Salad..the Village Salad that is without lettuce, and enjoyed that for lunch. We drove to Clearwater Beach, but it was very crowded, so we didn't stay. Since we had given up deserts for lent (we did cheat for our Birthdays), we couldn't wait to enjoy a Dairy Queen blizzard for supper!
