Spiritually and emotionally speaking, it was a very special weekend for me. It was all about the Mothers in my life. Both my Mother, Therese and my Mother-in-law Doreen had a life-long devotion to Our Lady, and by divine co-incidence, Doreen’s birthday was Saturday the 7th December, my Mother died on December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. For somebody who was devoted to Our Lady, it was a perfect day to\u00a0pass! Her second anniversary was on Sunday. My Dad’s 7th anniversary is today, Monday the 9th, so yes, an emotionally charged weekend for sure! My parents died within a day of each other – 5 years apart! This was the weekend to really remember them all!<\/p>\n

Friday the 6th I renewed my vows to the Legion of Mary. The girls bought me a yummy cake to celebrate and earlier that day a friend brought me a very special gift! It was an antique holy water font she found during an archeological dig in England. We reckon it must be over a hundred years old! I love it and shall treasure it!<\/p>\n

On Saturday, we had an absolutely magnificent celebration for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Like my Mum, and Mother-in-law, Doreen, I also have had a life-long devotion to Our Lady, so it was such a joyful celebration! My sisterhood in the Legion of Mary hosted the lunch. We all brought food. I did mini vegetarian quiches and some mini quiche Lorraine, as well as some smoked salmon appetizers. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Ham,\u00a0chicken, pork chow-mein, salads, selection of exotic cheeses, mini croissants filled with smoked salmon, artisan\u00a0breads, cakes, The massive white chocolate and lemon cake was finger-licking good! My tummy is still groaning. We sang, danced, said the rosary, and each of us presented a rose to Our Lady. It’s always one of my favourite parties \u00a0and a lovely start to the Christmas Season! We all went home singing, happy as Larry, and tummies replete!!<\/p>\n

Chat soon!<\/p>\n

Hugs,<\/p>\n
