Lent!

We had a proper fat Tuesday at our house, with an afternoon tea for the whole family, complete with lemon tea cake, assorted chocolate dipped cookies and fruits. It's going to be a REAL sacrifice for the love of my Jesus to forgo this lovely time of respite which gets me through the grey winter. The ceremony, the music, the lovely decor, the feel of a beautiful tea pot or cup in my hands... the goodies. Yes, a great sacrifice. Now I have to think of another way to get my kids to come running to me for a relaxing time together. Chocolate always seems to work great... Sigh... Well, I'm off to Texas...
