Christ is Risen!

There is no fasting this week, not even on Friday. This is the Paschal octave in which nobody is to fast. We always have huge plans for feasting, but usually find that even after our mild fasting, it is hard to eat as much of the rich foods. We are still starting with our day of feasting and will give it the old college try. I am also looking forward to frying onion rings sometime this week. It has been a long time.
