Wednesday the 25th: Music of the Week

 *We have a concert tonight with the other two Catholic high schools in our county, so our two biggest choirs are performing three songs each. We will keep these songs around though for our large group State festival in April, and then we will move to songs for our final concert.

*Tomorrow our chamber group sings a chant for Offertory Mass with the Archbishop, and then our A Cappella group sings a communion meditation, Crucifixus by Lotti.

*I have two Palm Sunday Masses this weekend at two different parishes.

*And then I have a Good Friday service and two Easter services.

So lots of work to do! 

Tuesday the 24th: Ladybird Diner

 One of our favorite meals while we were on our trip was a light lunch at Ladybird Diner. We had a huge breakfast so we didn't need much, but this tomato soup and southwestern salad with fruit and a piece of pie for dessert hit the spot!

Wednesday the 18th: Music of the Week

 *This week I don't need to prep for any Masses and I don't have school, so...

I'm playing one song a day to get ready for Palm Sunday.

I'm working on two instrumental accompaniments and four vocal accompaniments a day.

Today is the optional memorial/commemoration of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Doctor of the Church. 

 

 

Tuesday the 17th: Signs of Spring

 *Yes, yes, flowers are a good sign of spring. But so are dry spaces where there was leaking in the basement, saying that you can finally really repair the drywall.

 

 

Monday the 16th: Saint of the Week

 St. Patrick is the saint tomorrow. Do I really need to tell you anything about him?

 

 

Wednesday the 13th: Dresses and Fabric

 *I found fabric for my sister on Mass St. in Lawrence. She loves blue (so do I) so I chose a couple fat quarters. 

*I finally explored Weaver's, the classic department store in Lawrence. It was smaller than I expected, but had all the crazy dresses and departments that I expected. I'm glad I got to see it.
