The Smaller Two
Savannah had an Easter Egg Hunt at school on Thursday. Apparently, she got zero eggs. For someone reason, that totally cracks me up. She was so tickled by watching the other kids scramble around, she just stood there laughing. At least she was having fun. The "Academy" sent home two stuffed ducks, one for each girl. How sweet is that? They also got her immobile hunt on film and will be posting pictures on Monday. I can't wait to see them.

Call me Blue, but I am Over Green
What isn't green these days? You cannot turn around without seeing a new advertisement for some product that has now gone green (and doubled in price). Are they serious? I am going to pay twice as much for green toilet bowl cleaner? No thank you. Gimme something with good old fashioned bleach, and I am good. And when times are tight, regular bleach will do.
As if it is not hard enough to afford raising children in this day and age, but now advertisers are telling me that I am murdering the earth if I don't pad their pockets. THAT is the real green we are talking about here folks. Give me a break.

Stupid Questions I Should Know the Answers To...
1. Do Episcopals go to confession? No, but.... This is a good example of the Anglican maxim: "all may; none must." Different from so many other aspects of our Tradition, this sacrament has the potential for restoring one who may be in trouble to wholeness. In such an instance, "all may, none must" might be expanded to "some should". Consider embracing this sacramental encounter with the forgiving Christ when you find you have wandered far from the communion of love given freely in Christ. It might be an opportunity to meet the Risen Christ and receive the Spirit's gifts in a unique and personal way, especially where healing and re-ordering of one's life seems timely.
2. What is castor sugar? Castor or caster sugar is the name of a very fine sugar in Britain, so named because the grains are small enough to fit though a sugar "caster" or sprinkler. It is sold as "superfine" sugar in the United States.
