Finally a breather before the next round of insanity begins. Yesterday was a Madison day and she was joined later by her buddies Clayton and Claire. She loves having them here. It is comical because they like to watch "Go, Diego, Go." And at the beginning Claire always breaks into a dance. Madison bounces up and down along with her. It is so funny.

Yesterday was a fairly productive day. I made two more batches of Raspberry Jasmine Spice soap to put in the Girls on the Run gift bags; only 4 more to go.

I also worked on some things for the April shows that we have coming up.

Word of the day:
Tuesday in the Octave of Easter
Today the Church celebrates : Bl. Notker, Benedictine monk (c. 840-912)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 20:11-18.

Mary Magdalene stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been. And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken my Lord, and I don't know where they laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" She thought it was the gardener and said to him, "Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni," which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, "Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and what he told her.
