Holy week begins

Well the Passion dramatization is over and we begin Holy week. However in addition to Holy Thursday and Good Friday Masses, I still need to do home Easter Preparations. First off there is the Easter dinner.Easter is the one Holiday that I usually cook dinner for just Mike, The kids and myself. In the past, we have had dinner guests , but due to many things, this year looks like another regular year with just us. Though it may sound kind of sad, it is nice. There is no schedule that I have to have food done on, there is no worry that I need to check the food in the oven but the living room still needs swept and could I look at the sweeper that seems to be spreading more dust than vacuuming it up.... Oh don't we all have those moments ? And isn't it great sometimes just to relax and enjoy your family ? Not saying that anyone from out of town whom we have not seen in almost a year and would love to have visit are not welcome, because they certainly are if they want to :-)Anyway This week I must first shop for dinner ( really there will be plenty if you want to get one of those $40 PP plane flights and come on up :-) Then I still have a matter of Easter Baskets. Yes my teenagers and preteen and even our doggies still receive an Easter basket ( BTW, I could always make a couple extra if a certain family wanted to join us !OK OK I'm getting kind of pushy , ain't I ?) Any who..... Holy week begins and so do home preparations. I do have passion pictures and hope to have many more family pictures taken this week, but for now I must go prepare for Easter.May all of you have a blessed Holy week !
