Palm Sunday

Today is Palm Sunday. It is the beginning of Holy Week of
the last days of Jesus Christ. As Jesus approached
Jerusalem the villagers placed palms on the road. It is
also called Passion Sunday in which readings from the
passion are read (it is almost like a play at least to me)
everyone is involved. The priests, the cantor, and the
congregation all participate (more than usual in mass).

Today is also April Fools Day. It is the day in which
practical jokes are played on unsuspecting friends and
family. Sometimes it is successful sometimes not. I
haven’t played a practical joke in a while.

My plans for today are quite simple. Go do bingo, go to
church, and get my Easter Cards out to my siblings. I
still have to get ones for the other nieces and nephews
but I can do that later.

Bingo went well (Sam was his usual self insisting we could
have played more games if I was still there. I thought it
was rude). I went to Mass at St Mary’s and is always the
case at Easter it was packed. I left right after
communion and headed home.

When I got home I found a “care package” from Cousin Donna
Lee. It was short bread and tea and it look excellent. I
didn’t have it because obviously it was for Mom. I
decided to have a bowl of cereal and relax. Mom came home
shortly after that. She assumed I didn’t go to church.
When I told her I did she asked how I got home before
her. I told her I did (she had gone to St Agnes).

For the next hour we got our grocery list written and then
took off for Costco and got some shopping done. After
that we went to Barnes and Noble for a book that Mom wants
send to Jim.

When we got home Mom rested in the living room. I put
away the groceries and hung around. Mom didn’t rest
long. She got up and we figured out what to have dinner.
We decided it would be hamburgers. She also went online
and had a phone call from Ann MC. She flew into town to
Gerald and then left.

It started rain around 4. It has been lightly raining
right now.
