I got to eat chicken soup before sunset with
a good friend!!
*
I want an ice cream cone.
I know, snow is still on the ground but really,
a good french vanilla ice cream cone
sounds really good.

Pascha parties were already discussed as we ate our
almost last bits of meat.
Too funny.

One of the wonderful things about fasting for lent
is that we don't fast alone,
we can commiserate together :)
*
Really though, it is wonderful that we don't fast alone.

I had a great evening with a friend and feel unexpectedly
refreshed.
*
Tomorrow I have to work on job stuff.
*
My table is relatively clean and my dishes are done.
Can't tell you how great this feels.
Laundry and floor sweeping to do...
but the dishes,
for one brief moment,
are done.

Blessed butter week!
I never thought of it as Butter Week before, but that is quite delightful, and I will remember to enjoy it. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that we get to fast together. I love spending lots of extra time with my church family during Lent, we share a lot of meals.
ReplyDeleteGJ - butter week is what it is called in Slavic countries... we have lots of native speakers and I learned it in this context :) Happy butter week! :)
ReplyDeleteSarah - yes. this is one of the things I treasure about lent - the added time together...
French vanilla ice cream is called for ALL year round! :-)
