For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;your faithfulness reaches to the skies.Psalm 57:10

I started a load of laundry before going to work.

~I am off my regular work schedule & felt out of sync most of the day. But,I did get everything done-worked on bulletins for Sunday & got rough drafts printed for proofing, printed out bulletins for Maundy Thursday(foolded) & Good Friday(will fold tomorrow). I stuffed eggs inbetween jobs,filling up plastic grocery bag #3. Wore my heeled dress shoes & now have a blister on my toe.

~Mike finished the laundry, swept the floor & unclogged the shower drain! And,he's cute,too!!
~We had Digorno pizza for supper.
~I worked on the Earth & Sky lap blanket.

Mmmmmm!

Ginger Cookies-recipe from the Depression Era using bacon grease instead of butter.

~Mike came to work with me an hour early to collate,staple,fold,tape,address & stamp The Magnificat newsletter. I made him a pot of very strong coffee. He finished up the last dozen or so by himself when Fr. Jim came in to work on the bulletins for Holy Week services(Tenebrae, Maundy Thursday & Good Friday). I left work at 11:45am.

~Got to Ms. Jean Black's house in Hidden Valley around 12pm. Along with Donita, Jeannine, Helen, Mary & Mari, we had a nice lunch(quiche, stuffed mushrooms, crab salad, cherry cheesecake) & talk. All the ladies have led such interesting lives! It was wonderful to get to know them all better. We all left at 3pm.

~When I got home, Mike had gotten the drive shaft changed in his Bronco, had made a run to Tijeras & declared the problem fixed. All the lunch carbs caught up with me & I took a nap.

~I made Mike a chicken bacon cheese sammie for supper.

~I finished the Tweed Cloche in one strand each teal green/fuzzy jade green(I call this combo "Clover Brook)& added a rose pin in Raspberry Pudding. I also worked some on blossoms & scrap granny squares.

Not selling,but still making!

Out West Hat-Wenatchee in Gray Heather/Cool Pearls. During the warmer months, I normally sell 2-3 hats a month,enough to keep my Ebay store open,until around September.

~After Big Lots, I helped Chuck load 16 bags at the food pantry. I called in payroll, printed out the nesletter pages and stuffed Easter eggs for the hunts on Sunday.

~I got groceries at WMS & Smith's.

~After putting groceries away, I used a confetti cake mix to make 9 small bundt cakes & 12 tartlets. They will be dressed up & sold at the bake sale on Sunday.

~I made Mike a bacon cheese burger sammie for supper while I had gumbo & multigrain tortilla chips.

~I finished the Cream/Green/Blue round ripple lap blanket.

Pretty!

25cent yardsale saucer in Franciscan "Desert Rose" pattern. It will be one of my dozen mismatched cups/saucers I use for tea parties.
~I went to Palm Sunday services at 10:30am.
~Back home, after changing my clothes, I worked in the front yard, cleaning leaves from around the house, picking up sticks, pulling weeds & thinning out the small evergreen bush from the flower box.
~I attended Palm Sunday services at 4:30pm. I read the part in the Passion Play of "Second Criminal". I think I'm almost ready to try reading on Sunday's.
~Mike made his own sammies,as did I.
~We watched 2012. Good visuals,so-so story line.

"Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it"-Capt. Woodrow F. Call

~Susan came by for yardsales. It was too cold to go with the top down. All I found was a pretty saucer for 25 cents. We had lunch at Santiago's New Mexican Grill. It was awesome!

~We went to JoAnn's for curtain material for the parish hall. It is dark raspberry with a tone-on-tone pretty design. Susan is sewing them.

~Back home, I made a Kalispell Hat in unknown Marigold(from a thrift shop) with a rose pin in RHS Country Rose(leftover from the Lobster Trap prayer shawl),which I call "Rhubarb".

~I went to music practice. We sang "I'll Fly Away". It sounded really good with Lauren's soprano & my alto. Zander helped me make copies! We also pacticed the palm processional with instruments for the children.

~I made Mike a chicken bacon cheese sammie while I had chunky peanut butter/apple butter on wheat tortilla.
