Elnora Jensen walked quietly down the carpeted steps. She turned on the lights. The large downstairs room was used as a youth room, confirmation classes and this morning Easter breakfast. She walked over and opened the heavy purple curtains. She smiled at the beautiful Easter sky. As she turned around, she noticed the smiling face of Roger Corby. He was the church's custodian and handy man.
" Happy Easter Roger" she said as she opened the refrigerator. She wanted to check on the orange juice.
" Happy Easter to you too". He pulled up a rolling rack of folding chairs. " It is a beautiful Easter morning".
" Yes it is". She glanced at the long tables that had already been set up by Roger. " Did the hot cross buns get here from the store?".
" Yes, they did". He kept putting up the chairs. " We should have plenty of napkins and paper plates too".
" Good" She began to set up the coffee pots. " How is Marjorie doing upstairs?".
" Just fine".
