Beautiful post Vince.
Happy Easter. I hope you can score some chocolate!
My continuing food saga...There was a rootbeer float in the kitchen with my name on it... I ate it.
There will be a piece of homemade blueberry pie for breakfast then on Tuesday it's back to the gym...
Belinda, yep, ate too many Cadbury Creme Eggs. I haven't had a float in so long. I wish I had blueberry pie!
Happy Easter!
Cadbury Eggs=Easter around here...it would be absolute anarchy if I could not find them (and I DID have to hunt a while at Walmart yesterday:<)!)
Vince I have an blissful blue smile. (ewwww)
p.s. I'm saving the black jelly beans for you!
Father, do you go to the store in your priestly clothing or do you wear jeans? I ask because I've always been curious about how Priests are treated by the general public when they're out and about. Do they point and stare, are they rude or polite generally speaking? Do they respect you? (as they should)
Thanks! I ate some black ones yesterday, plucked every one of them from the bag. :)
