Where did Spring Go?

Nineteen years ago today my mom died.  It was then the Saturday before Easter, but even though it’s Monday, it’s Easter week, and it brings back so many memories….some silly,,,some sad.,,all the coffee cans filled with open bags of coconut comes to mind…..and more ham than we knew what to do with.  Also that mom was so worried we couldn’t do Easter dinner with out her….and she proved to be right!  Miss her so much….as if it was yesterday.

Yesterday was a great day; the Sunday morning Mass was well done….great music….reading of the passion and the procession of palms.  Then the potluck with the Lenten group was really delicious, and the conversation and discussion of the weekly readings was very meaningful.  But the best part was the Cantata.  It was also based on the passion and at one point had me in tears….it was so well done.  The orchestra was great and the joint choirs were magnificent.  I think it was such a great way to start out Easter week.

Today I’m headed for Mayo, and I have an appointment with my surgeon who will then consult with my oncologist as to when she thinks I can start chemo….and then off to see the urologist.  Should be done by noon.  My cousin Judy will meet me in Bloomington at 6 a.m. and then we’ll head south.   I have to be there by 7:50 for blood work, and then don’t see surgeon till 10:30, so I guess we will find some breakfast.  So when we are done at noon, we can head back to Bloomington and Judy’s car, and then find someplace for lunch.  The worst part is getting up at 4:45 a.m.  that’s usually about when I finally get to sleep.

Yesterday at the Cantata I talked to an old friend I hadn’t see in ages, she told me she reads my blog every day!  I was really surprised….It amazes me how many people do.  Thank you all for your love and support.  Keep those thoughts and prayers coming.  Love and prayers, m
