Even though I'm no longer Catholic I still try to make a commitment for Lent. I've always believed in the principle of giving up something (a small sacrifice) to honor the sacrifice Jesus made for us. However, my follow through is not always what it should be. I decided this year to give up soda (diet and regular), fast food and all forms of ice-cream. For anyone who knows me, this would be very difficult for me, especially soda. Well, I did it. After the first few days it wasn't too bad.
I also decided to purge and give away 40 bags of "stuff" from my house. This is where I fell short. I just couldn't seem to find the time to complete it before Easter. But I also am familiar with the saying "better late than never". This is on my to do list for next week.
Every holiday we try to add a few things to our decorations. Mike always says it's for the grandkids, but I think we like it a little more than we should. As I was about to put away the Easter decorations, I realized that I never got around to posting pictures. (all part of time getting away from me)
I'm like the brighter colors for Easter now so I made an new banner.
(Please disregard my Christmas dishes in the china cabinet. Another thing I've put off)
Mike's been wanting these bunnies for a few years
and he finally got them at World Market. They are really sweet.

Well, not only do I have to honor of reading her blog, but I won
