The cool and wet East Texas spring we’d been experiencing abated earlier this week to (partially) dry out Three Lakes Park and the day of the picnic couldn’t have been more glorious…clear and cool.

Thanks to Rachel McGee and Sarah Devendorf for their work in putting together this year’s Easter egg hunt and picnic. Thanks to Ricky Koss for mowing the huge Rosebrook front lawn; the kids had a ball running all over it finding eggs. Jake Boring found the egg with the gold key and won the stuffed Easter bunny…which he offered to share with big sister Kannon. Lee Kodet was joined at the grill this year by his daughter, Sammy, and David Schaub’s friend from Air Force days, JJ…the burgers, franks and sausages were all delicious. As were so many of the dishes prepared and brought by those who attended (several ladies cornered Lynette Fletcher for her dessert recipe). Mom, Andrea and I enjoyed meeting visiting with out-going board president Travis Hunt as well as the Duke’s, the Gallaway’s, Earl Drott and others.

Our two scheduled events, the Easter Egg Hunt/Spring Picnic and Fall Festival/Hayride, are such a wonderful way to get to know your neighbors. If you didn’t get to join us yesterday, please make it a point to attend in the fall.
