palm sunday

The day began with a great liturgy and then a special blessing for Frank Woolever who leaves for federal prison tomorrow. Meme and Heidi were included in the blessing and wrapped with Frank in a red stole.
Afterwards, while still munching on treats downstairs at church, Clare arrived and she and I took off for Cortland State, sharing memories of many trips while she was at the college. The most memorable being the day I engaged 'cruise control' on a hill near LaFayette - and the next thing we knew, we were going 85 mph!!!!! Something had gone awry in the 'control.'
We arrived on time to enjoy a great production and performance of "The Mikado," our favorite Gilbert & Sullivan. Wonderful music, great acting and singing. Clare wished that there had been shows like that when she was there, but I had enjoyed going to all her choral concerts. All the trips back home on those nights had been thru either fog or snow, as I recall. I still have the brownie points I earned!!!! That's it for a wondrous sunny sunday in central n.y. mom

I used to think the 30 mile trip to C-State was a great distance. but in this area, i don't think twice about driving 30 miles.

yesterday, I went to see a friend perform the Requiem - well, she and 60+ others in her church performed it. I think they had10+ violin and viola players. A little different from the St. Andrews music group.

After a rain-filled Saturday, the sun was out and it was a beautful Sunday.

I spoke with MoJo. Thanks to solar heating, her pool is now 80+
