    Hi Ladies!!! I hope you all had a blessed Easter celebration!!  HE IS RISEN Allelujia!!   I prayed for all your intentions throughout the Triduum.

    Apple so good to hear the good news on your sister!!!  YIPPEE!! 

    Hood...prayers for you and the exchange tomorrow!

    Jan...so happy for you!  I hope you will be comfortable with the new you!

    Ladies, praying for our Pope this week. As our Bishop Timothy Dolan mentioned during his visit to the Divine Mercy Conference I attended last week, no doubt when Benedict looked out onto the St. Peter's Square on Good Friday, the same place where St. Peter was crucified upside down...he could have felt empathy.  If they could do it to Christ, if they could do it St. Peter our first Pope, it should not surprise us that they will do it again today.  Unfortunately, I think some of the executioners are in our own Church, too....

    The good news is...I finally cancelled the NY Times delivery and hubby didn't argue with me!  HA! Thank God for small things, too!

    Divine Mercy Sunday is next weekend....are you all familiar with the promises made to St. Faustina regarding the devotion?  I am sure to get to confession this week....God is merciful!  Thank goodness for me!  What a wretched sinner I am!!

    St. Peregrine, St. Agatha...intercede for all my sisters here and all their intentions!  Amen...

    God Bless each of you...and Saint, too!

    Thank you for your continued prayers on behalf of Saint's family.

    Her DD Molly just posted this on FB and asked me to share with you here.

    This is one of the arrangements of pink roses that was assembled by the BCO community's donations.

    Ladies,  your prayers were truly  answered!  My surgery & anesthesia could not have gone better.  Thank you all so much!  I've been home sleeping since about 2 and am starting to come out of all the anesthesia.  Words can not express how Blessed I fell to have you here for me in times like this and I am here for all of you too!

    My prayers have been going out for Saint & her family today.  Faith - thanks you so much for sharing the picture with all of us!

    I am praying for you Jeannine that your CT scan is clear and your WBC comes up so you can have your treatment.  Take care everyone! I'm having quite a bit of pain today and it is difficult to stand up.

    Catholic sisters, thank you for your continued prayers to sustain Saint's family during this season of their loss.

    I thought you'd appreciate how I spent my Easter weekend. I wrote in length on my blog, but basically took an old, well-loved, but muchly weathered angel and gave her some serious, restorative TLC -- of heavenly proportions.

    This was so therapeutic for me and I know Saint has gotten more than a few chuckles out of my efforts to honor our friendship.

    The before and after pictures:

    Now I have my own guardian angel to speak to -- just an arm's reach away.

    xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    Faith: The angels are just simply beautiful and joyful. I'm sure Saint is smiling down from heaven.

    I forgot to mention all that my hair is STILL growing! Amen..I guess I was giving all the angels too much glare from my melon head and the Lord let my hair grow this TX( The docs said it was supposed to fall out. Go figure??)

    Have a blessed weekend all.

    Ladies... my family is celebrating our Easter dinner this weekend... it will be a long a wonderful time... 29 of us together at my home.. ( if you have been on BCO long enough to know me..lol... you know this is no big deal.. I have all the family parties at my humble 2300 sqft home...hehehe) so I will not be online much.

     Have a BLESSED WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pray for each of us here on BCO every Sunday at mass and daily in my prayers..

    This may sound TERRIBLE... but I fell like the sisters who have died from our horrid disease, here on BCO.. are praying for us. Caring for us... those who have met our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Good luck Estepp.

    I am busy with prepacking to move.  I should turn off the computer for the next two months and just pray that everything would pack itself.  I sure wish I had a housekeeper helper.

    Ladies, I'm taking a temporary BoardBreak. My 79 yo aunt fell and broker her hip, and I've taken it upon myself to visit her regularly in the rehab home. She never married and is my godmother, so I feel more responsible for her than my siblings and cousins, although they are doing a lot for her, too.

    And I've got to to TAXES this week.

    And I've got a whole boat load of work at work. I guess that's why they call it "work." LOL

    So, see you in May!

    Nancy, you will be missed as you are SUCH a joy and blessing HERE and on BCO! Have been from the beginning. Take care of everything you need and we will see you in May. I will pray for you while you are taking care of so much. I also pray your reconstruction is doing great too!

    Ladies.. I hope your weekend is wonderful!

    Apple... your new home looks like where Ilive...  but we are about 15 miles apart...LOL.... I hope you have the most fun moving into the home and also have so much fun planting flowers and such on the land. We have 3 acres... and it is work.. but Fun.! Happy for you !
