Beautiful day!

The Tridentine Mass was beautiful and so meaningful today. I cried, thanked God, I got the answer to my prayers and Father's homily meant so much to me on so many levels. I truly will pray to the Holy Spirit this week for guidance but I met some incredible families today at coffee and donuts after Mass. They were so filled with joy and I really needed that today. My kids had a ball with the other children there and we got invited to a social next week. It is nice to see such strong and happy families that are living their faith. The parish should really focus on getting the people who attend the indult to join the parish. It would be good both spiritually and financially.

On another note, we have a free nights voucher to an Embassy Suites that we are redeeming on Friday night. It is for a local hotel with an indoor pool so the kids will enjoy that. Something to look forward to, at least. Oh! We watched about the first hour of Padre Pio last night. Amazing movie so far! The little boy that plays him as a child had incredible depth for such a young actor. I will write more when we complete the whole movie. It came highly recommended from my friend and I agree, it is quite good and accurate. 83 and sunny here in Cincinnati today. I hope to get out and enjoy some of it. We just got home from the get-together after Mass, we stayed over 2 hours. I suppose it is refreshing to find people I can relate to spiritually and socially. I'm not used to that.

Whew, what a long day.

We had a yard sale at my parents today and I am beyond exhausted. We did okay, got rid of a ot of junk, baby clothes and old household things. I'm just glad it's over. My husband went to get subs for dinner and found out we are FINALLY getting a Sonic here! I told him if we had the money, I would love to own a Sonic franchise(this was a few years back when he was unemployed, the capital would have been huge needed upfront.) We haven't had a Sonic in the Cincinnati area ever, it's kinda spooky. I love their Limeades. So, there you go. We got the movies Padre Pio, Miracle Man and The Last King of Scotland from Netflix this week so we will hopefully have time to watch them. I will report back what I think as soon as we have finished.
On a side note, we are....dieting. Yup. I have always went the low carb route until now and we are just low calorie dieting this time and so far we have had great results. I read that you can mimic plans like Jenny Craig and others by stocking up on the frozen meals and I have to say, they are really tasty. Lean Cuisine panini sandwiches are most excellent. Another must have, an air popper. Okay, dinner has arrived. Hopefully after I get some orders completed it will be a popcorn/movie night!
