A Sunday in the life of the Tldz household
We are now the proud owners of an 8′ pew from our old church. It’s stashed in the basement. Hopefully whatever house we move to will have a nice spot for it.
Just got done icing a batch of Almond Joy Biscotti. It’s our first flavor experiment, working off the basic biscotti recipe we have. The author of that cookbook (all desserts) suggests one have an icing spatula, so we procured one around the time we got married. Never actually used it until today. What a great thing! Now we’re waiting impatiently for the chocolate to set so we can try these guys out. The half-baked ends of the dough rolls tasted pretty good, though, so that’s promising.
Agent Murphy woke up Friday with his nose all coated over with snot. He’s had a runny nose ever since, but at least this morning his nose wasn’t all caked up; so hopefully he’s on the mend. (He’s currently nearing the end of a much-needed nap.) I seem to have come down with a bit of a cold, too. I don’t know if I gave it to him or he gave it me or we caught it together. I ought to be napping, too…
We were concerned about the length of Palm Sunday Mass (officially Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion) with the Agent’s not feeling quite up to snuff, but he did amazingly well this morning. Maybe this bodes well for a good Holy Week. We’re actually planning to go to Easter Vigil Mass, hoping we can get Agent Murphy to go to sleep once we get there and sleep through it, since it starts after his bedtime. (We’d love to participate in all of the Triduum services, but we figure that would be pushing our luck.) We may be leaving Mass after a brief time, or we may make it through all three hours. We shall see. I should probably go find him some cute Easter pajamas to wear for the occasion…
