Hey, Hons, It's Holy Week!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Palm Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                           "Forget your troubles, c'mon, get happy?"  Well, not really.

                            This is the week to reflect on what Jesus, sparkling or not, did for us.  The "poverty and suffering," as Gladys Cooper says.  The agony in the Garden Of Gethsemane.  The betrayal by Judas, and his suicide.  And the inhumane suffering on the cross, and his forgiving of two thieves.

                            This all culminates in the celebration of Easter, when Mary Magdalene carries spices to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus.  For children, this means candied eggs, rabbits and Peeps chicks.  For our house, of course, it means the annual screening of "The Song Of Bernadette."  Seven days and counting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            But today, wave that palm and celebrate Palm Sunday. The hard stuff is soon to come.

                            Happy, happy, one and all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
