The Lord is risen! The Lord is risen, indeed!
I hope everyone had a blessed and happy Easter. I just woke up this morning to news that Pope Francis has passed away. I guess he wanted to celebrate one last Easter on earth before he went to heaven to meet the Lord.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
We had a lovely Easter weekend. Sarah came home on Friday night after class and work. Peter had tickets to see Billy Strings at the Koka Booth Amphitheater on Friday so he came home on Saturday.
He and Dan washed all the cars which was much appreciated as mine was filthy. Thanks, guys!
We went out to dinner at Quanto Bosta to enjoy some delicious Italian food. I have been reminiscing about our trip to Italy last May and wishing that we were able to go again. Since that's not happening any time soon, it was nice to eat and reminisce together as a family.
After dinner we headed to Wiseman Brewing to listen to some reggae and enjoy some tasty beer. Sarah's a good sport since she's not twenty one yet but only six more weeks for her.
After that we came home, watched some hockey and then this old lady headed to bed.
On Sunday, the kids got their Easter baskets. Yes, my kids still get Easter baskets and honestly, they always will. I mean, I'm 55 and I still get one. :)
We headed to Mass then came home and had lunch with my mom and my brother and then the kids both headed back to school. It was a quick visit but I'm so glad they were both able to come home. I'm happiest when we are all together.
