The CK Daily – A Good Easter Weekend
Happy Monday,
I had a pretty calm Easter weekend. Saturday started with a grocery run after a recent visit to a dietician. I’ve been encouraged to shift toward a lower-fat, higher-protein diet, so I stocked up on healthier options. We spent the rest of the day at my parents’ house for Easter dinner. My mom made grilled salmon, which was simple and tasty, and we watched The King with Timothée Chalamet — a slow burn, but interesting.
Sunday morning, we went to church. Our congregation is in the process of building a new space, so the service was held outside at the construction site. It was a quiet, cool morning, and the outdoor service had a nice feel to it. Afterward, we joined some close family friends for lunch. It was a good time to catch up and spend time with people we’ve known for years.
I hope you had a restful weekend as well and that your week starts off on the right foot.
Cris
