Easter Birthday

Yesterday was Easter but it also happened to be my birthday. I couldn't remember the last time the two were on the same day so looked it up and found some amazing results. Easter can be anywhere from March 22 to April 25 calculated on the date of the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. The last time Easter was on April 24 was 142 years ago [no wonder I don't remember] and the next time will be in 84 years. I didn't realize what a truly special day it was. I went to church where I enjoyed seeing friends that I missed all winter, plus hearing our pastor Nancy who I like so well. In the afternoon we went to neighbor Mike and Linda's where we had a delicious dinner followed by birthday cake and a special gift made especially for me by their 8 year old granddaughter. It could not have been a more perfect day!
