Christ is Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

We had a little bit of a topsy turvy week last week, and so several meals were shifted or abandoned, and are either now moved to this week or next. Then I realized that our Shawn will be here this week and I wanted to make some more special meals for her while she is here. So, some of the meals have been further moved. Unfortunately, Dominic was not able to get the time off so he could come visit home with his bride.

Rich has been wanting pizza since Lent, so we are making our own on Monday, making a polenta crust for one of them for Jerome. Because we like to put a few anchovies in our pizza sauce, I am planning a quiche next week which also uses anchovies so we don't waste any of them.

Beyond that, we are continuing to work and pray and live and play, Rich is busy in the garden, I am busy at home, and the kids are just busy. We have our annual homeschool semi-formal dance coming up and then spring might be here in earnest.
