We woke up this morning to beautiful white snowflakes falling outside. Since it hasn't been that cold lately, the snow didn't stay on the ground, but it was pretty while it was falling. Easter is always very different here- no Easter lillies or dressing up in a new "Easter dress" like in the southern US. Now those could be considered random cultural traditions without much meaning, but I must say that I enjoy them. It seems strange and sad to me how we had NO mention of Easter at our church today or for the last 2 years at Christmas or Easter- except when everyone leaves and we all say, "Bonne Fete"- i.e. "Have a great party!" So my friend said that we are just trying to be non Catholic about it since every Sunday is really a celebration of the resurrection of Christ. But, I still think it strange- not even one mention or "He is Risen" proclamation. Oh, well, I don't understand alot of things around here. Tomorrow is the real public holiday so I guess all the stores will be closed. Seems like D is always out of town on those days- days that we would have together were he in town- bummer. He left today for Thailand and will be away for 3 weeks this time. So... you could be hearing from me more- in my attempt to stay connected to the outside world and all.
"Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God." Ps. 43:5

Hey, I saw a sign over here today that read HE IS RISEN and I thought of you, so all is not lost! LOL
Hang in there. Your crazy gang of fun will be back later this week. I think we need another lunch with the gals... ;)
Snow on Easter just doesn't seem right to me. It was coat weather here so we wore our usual drabby, winter, church clothes. Seth did enjoy his first Easter egg hunt and all the candy that came along with it! Hope you girls are doing okay. We'll have to catch up soon...should be hearing this week more about AR...will keep you posted. Love, Sarah
