Sunday: Three Weeks and It Will Be Great Lent

It was wonderful to be at church and

talk briefly with some friends afterwards. 

I got more of SD Smith's books!

We did some grocery shopping and went home,

unloaded the car, taking everything up stairs where we live

and putting it away and then sitting down to soup and bread

that we heated up, the bread toasted.

Then a nap, then a walk in the lovely cold air.

The pile of snow is so big; we've had more snow this year

than all the years I have lived here (8 years).

We talked to a neighbour on the way back and found out that the men

who were helping with the shoveling were merely helping out

and being neighbourly, we were so surprised.

Then my Husband helped me cup up 2 cartons of mushrooms,

1 onion and 1 shallot and then I fried them (onion and shallot first)

and then we heated up broccoli, my Husband had eating some potato

already, I fried 2 eggs for myself (my Husband dislikes them) and

we split a large banana and each had an orange.

I am so thankful for citrus fruit at this time of year, 

it's such a blessing in such a hard winter month.

February is a hard month for so many.

DV we are going to NYC on Wednesday.

It's supposed to be warmer and I am so glad for that.

May God help us, the weary!

Lord have mercy on us!
