We had rehearsal on Wednesday, and then services for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, a Great Vigil on Saturday night, and two full choral Eucharists on Sunday. I wasn't sure I would make it!

But my Mom died on Easter morning in 2008 and I felt that I was celebrating her memory.

That's the second time in two or three weeks.

Sat Mar 16, 2024: I just scrubbed down the shower stall and bathtub.

I must be turning into Martha Stewart or something.

1. I lost my client last Thursday due to the fact that my employer can't seem hire reliable and responsible people. This isn't the only client that I've lost from incompetence either. The only good thing about this is that it will no longer take me about 1 hour to encourage my client to swing their legs over and sit up in bed. It won't take me another half hour to encourage them to physically get up and start moving. I won't have to keep repeating myself 5 to 10 times in 1 hours time either.


2. I decluttered mismatched dinnerware and the person who needed it was extremely appreciative.


3. I decluttered quite a bit of paperwork that I didn't need.


4. I found an unopened jar of honey-roasted peanuts in the house that wasn't expired.


5. I won at least $4 from March 29th Mega Millions drawing. I'm about to head out to get some new numbers for tomorrows Mega Millions drawing. Suck it anti-lottery people.

Like their best baby talk.

But my first grandson had some cute ones.

Instead of 'remember', he would say 'renember'.

As in "Grandpa, renember when I was a little kid?" (This, when he was just three years old.)

"Grandpa, look! I moke a snowball!" (Interesting insight into child logic; if broke is the past tense of break, moke must be the past tense of make.)

I was about ready to just pay for it and then thought it might be in my storage room. But I wasn’t going to dig in there myself so had to wait till my son was on spring break to get him to climb in there. He found it right away.

On Easter, my daughter and her family went to visit with her old high school roommate who is from South Kona on the Big Island.

She sent us this photo of our two granddaughters, who seem to have gotten into the more pagan aspect of the Easter season:
