Monday Morning Coffee - Holy Week Edition

Good Monday morning, my friends! I just finished my first cup of coffee on this cozy, windy day, and I am thinking about another to go with the homemade banana scone Madison brought me last night. 

In fact, just as I was typing that, she sent me this picture. Like mother, like daughter!

This week, our faith celebrates Holy Week, which began yesterday, Palm Sunday. I snapped this picture discreetly before mass, of course, because I loved the powerful meaning behind the simple design.

I cannot believe we are here, at the end of Lent. To commemorate Palm Sunday, we lit the final candle, had a simple but delicious meal of soup and sloppy joes, and ended the night with some Palm Sundaes. 

If you have never had Graeters Ice Cream, you should give it a try sometime. It is my very favorite, and we get it for special occasions, because it is that good!

Today is chilly, rainy, and windy, and I think Mocha has the right idea. We will lie low and be cozy. Flynn and I have schoolwork to do, and then we are having a simple breakfast for dinner. We are saying a family rosary tonight too as part of our Holy Week activities.

Here is the little message I sent in our group chat, listing some of the things we will be doing this week. I always say that participation is optional, but everyone in my family is a good sport and always supports my ideas. 

Have a nice day, my friends. Thank you for visiting, and I plan to visit you too!
