Easter Afternoon

I pray you all have been having a blessed Easter Sunday! Easter is a season - as we lead up to Pentecost. How lovely!


I'm currently in my pj's with an apron . . . I'm baking four batches of home made brownies for a gathering later today. I'm trying to squeeze in a shower while the BBQ chops are in the oven baking . . . and I need to throw the spuds in the oven an hour before that. I'm not sure how I will pull it all off . . . because there is the Divine Mercy novena at 3pm (I have the key to the chapel so I am going to be there as folks are counting on me, not just 'cos I want to be there). At 4pm there's a private invite going on, but I may have to be a bit late to that (the brownies are for this function) as I want to run out and see someone first. Fortunately she lives close by (and, she may be at the novena and then no running out will be necessary). In fact, the only thing I really question getting done is our Easter lunch. I will have to ask my darling husband to do something - and I know he loves to help in the kitchen - and I will have to offer up the mess this man will make (if I let him in the kitchen).


I better get those spuds in the oven. They can bake in there whilst the next batch of brownies go in. I'm a good cook and I can bake quite well, but I have a very difficult time getting it all out at the right time.

Last night the Vigil was great. We had about ten getting the trio initiation into the Church and two joining the Church from other denominations. Brilliant! There was a reception following that was perfectly lovely. The ladies I am blessed to work with . . . I can't wait to see the reception Christ has in store for them one fine day. I hope we're all there!



The folks who we gave our cat to have let us know that she is adjusting perfectly well to their home and them. I am so glad! I love that cat, don't get me wrong. I miss her enormously, but in my heart I know this is best for her. The plane ride . . . she would have fallen apart. We'll go visit her soon; after she's had a few more days to warm herself into their lives/hearts and home.

Note: I've been baking and the spuds are in . . . everything is going like clockwork. Amazing! We may have our lunch by 2pm or 2:30pm, just in time to satisfy us . . . go to the novena . . . and attend the "shindig" later. Thank God!

To Christ: our only Hope!
