Morning

Lydia making breakfast. I think these are called Eggs in a Cloud.

She and Hannah have an apartment on a farm where both milk cows – several miles away.

These are made by separating the eggs, whipping the whites, then adding the yokes, cheese, seasonings and whatever you desire: bacon, ham, spinach, etc.

This it what a spinach one looks like after it has been baked.

Bacon and sweet potato flowers.

If I remember correctly, Hannah made these ahead of time.

Sausage from Bisson’s Meat Market – the farm where the girls live.

After breakfast we went to Brunswick Church of the Brethren,Whales, Maine.

Afternoon

The main course for lunch was chicken with bacon and cheese.

Dessert

It was Mother’s Day, so Diane asked me to take a picture of her with their three Maine children: Elizabeth, Lydia, and Hannah. Josiah and Abigail live in Pennsylvania and Hezekiah lives in Tennessee. (They each called in their Mother’s Day wishes.)

Nsimba reading something in Diane’s bird book.

He and Elizabeth came after their fellowship meal at Lewiston Church of the Brethren, Lewiston, Maine.

Hannah went home to milk cows while Elizabeth, Lydia, Diane, and I played Take One – a form of Scrabble.

Evening

This was the first time in thirty years that I had love feast and communion with Diane – and the first time ever with Lydia. This was at Brunswick Church of the Brethren.

These photos were taken with my cell phone.

The lamb and rice soup they have for the love feast meal.

Breaking bread

My piece of unleavened bread

Grape juice

It was a blessed Mother’s Day for me.
