Easter and springlike weather arrive in Hungary

We hope that you all had a wonderful, blessed Easter!  We had a quiet day here, and enjoyed the chance to slow down a bit and remember the Lord's death and resurrection, the source of our hope and life.  After the morning service at Debrecen First Baptist Church we had a nice lunch at our place with Holly--we wished that A.P. could have been with us, too, but she was still in Budapest because of some medical issues (please pray for her continued healing.)


Our Easter meal--baked ham, broccoli salad, cauliflower with
cheese
sauce, deviled eggs, and home-made bread. 

 
Holly made a light, delicious dessert of home-made angel food
cake
with fruit and whipped cream.  It was as yummy as it looks!

Easter in Hungary is a two-day holiday, and on Easter Monday Gary and I went for a walk down to the Nagy Erdő (Big Forest) park.  The weather was gorgeous, and lots of people were out enjoying it.  Here are some pictures I took during our walk:


On the way to the park we passed a home where someone had
decorated the tree by their balcony with Easter eggs.


There's a wonderful little lake at the park that I always enjoy
visiting.
  Such a relaxing sight!


Some people relaxed, others preferred to be a little more active. 
These two guys were practicing their football (soccer) skills.


Here and there were stands where you could buy balloons or
snacks such as fresh roasted corn on the cob, popcorn, or
cotton candy. 



Some adventurous souls were enjoying the paddle boats at another
place in the park area, a small man-made lake.
