I have a hundred and one things I’d like to talk to you about, but for now I would just like to wish you a blessed Fourth Sunday of Lent (it’s Laetare Sunday and Lent is halfway over!) and a happy day at home with your family. If you’re like me, you’re having your corned beef and cabbage tonight instead of yesterday! It’s a festive weekend all around, what with the back-to-back feasts of our beloved saints Patrick and Joseph.
“Rejoice, Jerusalem! Be glad for her, you who love her; rejoice with her, you who mourned for her, and you will find contentment…”
May we grow in every needed grace and virtue this day. For me, that would be the three theological biggies: faith and hope and (above all) charity.
Have a blessed day!
Good morning! My coffee is just right this am. And no I don’t know where the shoes are. Thanks for the reminder! Have a Blessed Day!

Good morning! After being up half the night with 3 little girls who have been coughing like seals, coffee sounds great!! Yes, I think I am like you, I am baking our Irish soda bread today!! We have been wearing green all week for St Patrick’s parties with fellow homeschoolers so we are out of green clothes and I need to do laundry! I do have about 1/8 Irish in me, 1/16 counts as something for my kids, doesn’t it? My husband begs to differ!
Have a wonderful day, I miss you! I am off to read your past week…
Coffee is AWESOME! Church shoes are really and truly out and ready to go, right by the door. I was so responsible last night.
Great post, Margaret!

There is a week’s worth of comments for ya! Really, I have enjoyed your writing this week.
Coffee is hot and black and just to the right of the computer mouse. Shoes are on the hooks at the garage door, where they stay all week. We had our corned beef and cabbage (and turnips and carrots and mashed potatoes) last night and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in weeks (including the one I ate out with my mother on Friday at an upscale fish place). It just tasted really good. And leftover soda bread for breakfast. Yum!
Happy Fourth Sunday!
Am I considered a brave soul for commenting here? LOL! I love coffe…coffee is good. Coffee is a must. I cannot live without coffee! Happy feast of St. Joseph and St. Patrick to you and yours!
A happy and blessed Sunday to you, Margaret! My coffee is just to the right of my computer also.
I love these back to back feasts. They’ve arrived just when I need them most!
And of the need for more virtue, I need more discipline!
Now, see, here’s where I have to disagree with you ladies. The coffee must go to the left of the computer because one’s right hand is busy with the mouse!
Sip and click! Sip and click!
This is assuming you’re right-handed, of course.
No coffee for me this morning, just a bit of weak tea as I have a stomach ache, Since i don’t feel well I’m staying home with the youngest 2 babes this morning while the rest go of with Dad to mass. Funny how even when mom feels sick she is left with the babies…OK I’m not THAT sick and anyway I wouldn’t let them cart off my little 3 month old. 😉
Church shoes were found easily though I did make my Margaret (she’s 7) change out of her white shoes into her black ones. I’m not a stickler about the “no white shoes until Memorial Day” rule like my mom was but there’s quite a bit of snow on the ground and those white shoes just weren’t looking right.
We did have the corned beef last night but no cabbage just potatoes (we’re poor Irish ;-).
Coffee’s good today, chocolate is better. The church shoes were found last night, as I can’t stand that last-minute hunt. Plus, Ramona’s shoes needed to have the, ahem, mud cleaned off of them.
