Easter 2010 at Dick and Jan McCorkle’s: the R & J Ranch

Sunday, April 4, 2010

Hi folks!

I enjoyed my Easter Sunday. It started with me going to church with my family, and followed with my family all coming down to my house. While they were here, we all shared a great big dinner and the younger kids had fun with an Easter-egg hunt.

I hope you all enjoyed yours too.

Until next time, be safe!
Dick

Easter Holiday

Friday, April 2, 2010

Hi folks!
Yes, once again its Easter I would like to wish everyone a happy Easter. And those who will be traveling be extra careful on the highways. On my return trip to home I didnt see a lot of heavy traffic but the next couple of days it will be picking up. Remember to take some extra time as to get where you are going as not to be in a hurry. Until next time be safe.
Dick
