Easter has been a pleasant day. My daughters and I went to church. The service was very nice. When we got in the car my oldest D checked her phone and she had a missed call from my H. She called him and told him we just got out of church. He asked about her Sat. night and then he talked to youngest D for a while. He never asked about lunch, but he never calls them that early on Sunday so I figured he was trying to find out what time to come for lunch. At first I thought, no I'm not going to call him, he should have asked. But then I knew it was the right thing to call him since I had extended the invitation to him Thurs. I called and asked if he still wanted to come over and he said yes and asked what time. He came over and lunch was very relaxed. Conversation was kept light. Afterwards we went to the den with the girls to watch TV. The girls both ended up falling asleep. I thought he would leave then, but stayed and watched tv with me. A group that I am member of is a having a fund raiser for the children's hospital. It is a fishing tournament,he told me he still wanted to help out with it and took some of the entry forms to try to get participants. He ended up staying about 5 hours. When he got ready he thanked me for having him over. I said I'm glad you came. He said well I like to spend time with the girls. I never once brought anything up about us. Oh another thing I thought was odd, he asked what I wore to church. He said did you wear a dress? I said yes, and he asked if I bought a new one. I said yeah, I bought new dresses for all of us. I thought that was a peculiar thing to be interested in.
