I thought about going to the Vigil tonight...but ours didn’t even start until nine, and that’s just a bit too late for me! Last time I went was when a friend of my younger siblings was received into the church a few years back. It’s an amazing service...but definitely not brief!

I’m going to go tomorrow morning, and then head up to Puyallup to see family. Brother is making roast leg of lamb, I understand. I’ll get to see the nieces, too! I really need to make it up there more often now that I’m more confident in my transportation...

Luke 24:1-12

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

And they remembered his words, And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

Happy Easter all!

We're off to church in a few. Choir is singing with the orchestra. Kid's choir and trash can band are also singing/playing. We're nothing if no ecclectic.

I'm picking up Nana. She says she's able to go. Have to admit I'm concerned about whether she can get in and out of thevan, 'cause my back has no business lifting her. But she says she's up for it.

The off to the in-laws for Easter brunch and egg hunting with the mini-terrorists.

Yeah, this morning's Mass was only 1-1/2 hrs. ;o) The music was nice, and I didn't get too worn out from singing. I got up early enough so I was able to bake a cake, and get the ham and scalloped taters in the oven before I left for Mass, so we didn't have to wait too late afterwards to eat. We just finished with lunch, and Joseph is getting the trifle together. Paul and his girlfriend, Sarah, are coming over later, after they have lunch with her parents.

I think I might take a nap til they get here.
