Happy Easter! This has been a fabulous weekend. I took Friday off for Good Friday observance, then Lynn & I went to the Easter Vigil. It is a joy to watch people come into the Church. Mags had to serve at 7:15 mass, so we went then as well. After all that, the family feast was at our house (I have finally mastered the art of prime rib).
After Easter Vigil, we drove straight to somewhere I could buy a nice big Diet Coke. I gave it up for Lent, and missed it every day. I know some people who have given up things never to miss them again. Not the case here. The first thing the 7 year old said when we woke him up Easter Sunday - “I can eat fries again.” It was interesting how giving up something for 40+ days can add to the joy. Hmmm. Maybe this Catholic stuff makes sense. 
Check out Amber’s Easter post. She became a Catholic (with thousands of others) at Easter Vigil on Saturday. Welcome, Amber!
