An Easter Visit with Our Cousin Marilyn in Shiloh, Illinois

Lunch at Cracker Barrel....

Marilyn took this photo

of Eric & me.

During our lunch, Marilyn regaled Eric and me with many stories including flying with her baby daughter to Japan to join husband, Tom, at an Air Force Base. The story included a few merry mix-ups.  Marilyn and Tom learned to Square Dance while in Japan.

Eric and I joined Marilyn

for Saturday Easter Service

at Faith Family Church.

We arrived early &
had time for a selfie....







Marilyn's daughter, Tammy joined us for the Service.

We all agree that this visit was very special.  It's wonderful to visit family and friends as Eric and I travel across America.  

Happy Easter!
