Friday the 26th: Eggs

 This is another one of the crocheted eggs and then a Limoges porcelain egg container from a friend in Wichita.

 

 

Thursday the 25th: Music and Eggs

 *Our friends the Bauers once gave us these crocheted and starched handmade eggs, one for each of us; I currently have three of the six.

*Music is solos on Saturday but then switching to Motown until our concert on May 6.

 

 

Wednesday the 24th: Food and Eggs

 *Another glass egg, another candle egg: I think the candle egg is actually made of smaller chunks blended together.

*Last night I tried German Potato Salad with sausage instead of bacon and added sauerkraut. Sunday was chicken soup in the crockpot. Monday I made crispy potato cubes to go with mini meatloaves from the freezer. Friday I'm going to make my mom's waffles.

 

 

Tuesday the 23rd: A break for puzzles

 This is puzzle...3 or 4...for the year, our first 2000 piece puzzle. It has a timeline along the bottom for the establishment of the national parks, pictures of each park, and a map with their location in the middle. It probably took us about a month to finish.

 

 

April 22: Saints and Eggs

 We have Saints again this week!

4/23: Two choices, St. Adalbert and St. George. St. George is the one with the story about slaying dragons, and he is a patron of England. St. Adalbert was a bishop of Prague.

4/24: St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen was a German Capuchin friar martyred in Germany. Early settlers in Western Kansas built a huge beautiful church dedicated to him, now also known as the Cathedral of the Plains in Victoria, KS.

4/25: Today's feast is for St. Mark the Evangelist, so there's a Gloria at Mass. St. Mark is the credited writer of the shortest gospel.

 *More glass eggs, a dark blue and a 70s orangey egg.

 

Friday the 19th: More eggs

 I received the bunny from my Aunt Bonnie when I was born, and it's been on my dresser or in my egg collection ever since. The other egg is a candle, never lit, that has a stained glass pattern.

 

 

Thursday the 18th: Music and Eggs

 *Glass eggs are probably my favorite besides blown eggs. These two, one old and one new, catch the light beautifully throughout the day.

*This week we had solo competitions, concert, state music festival, All School Mass on Friday, and a Jazz Summit next Tuesday. Today is a mental health day with a haircut and feet soaking.

*Mass music is going slowly as my music directors have not been very good about getting out music after the Easter holiday. Hopefully they pick it up before June, or I might be quitting some of those parishes.
