The guys came down with a nasty form of viral fever and missed their last way of the cross. I missed them at mass and so did a lot of the folks at church who had seen them come diligently every Friday for mass. This week, there have been mini-retreats for the children receiving First Holy Communion (Joshua did his on Monday). Yesterday was the last one. During the homily Fr. Tom said something funny that made me laugh. He related a funny quip a little girl who attended the retreat made. Walking into church she went, “Is today my First Holy Communion? But I’m not wearing my dress!” lol. Girls/women have their priorities in place, don’t they?

Which also made me realize (my favorite topic/gripe) how much fun a girl would’ve been – the frothy dresses, veils, up-do’s.. oh well, will make do with a very jazzy tie for the guys, pink and yellow anyone??
