Alleluia and all that
I don’t mean that quite as it sounds. Easter was very good, but life has just been hectic since.
Agent Murphy stubbornly refused to sleep in his stroller at Easter Vigil Mass. He came so close a few times, but very definitely fought it off. But he was really tired and was getting really cranky. So we only made it an hour and a half (the first half of Mass), so we just heard the beginning of “Alleluia” as we got to our car. Oh well, we tried.
We had a lovely meal on Easter Sunday, and then had time to watch episodes of Matlock and Columbo. (Traditional Easter activities, right?) It was a good day. But then around 10 a.m. Monday we lost power (along with much of the metro area, thanks to heavy rain followed by strong winds = lots of fallen trees). It finally came back in the last couple of hours. Another reason for Alleluia! Now I just have to get caught up on everything. At least our diaper washing schedule will be undisrupted. (Ah, the things we are grateful for!) And the power outage gave us an excuse to have dinner at a barbecue place we really like.
We’re getting some interest in the house (calls to our realtor, etc.), but no one has actually looked at it yet. But we take the activity as a good sign and hope things will move along so we can make an offer on the house we want.
