Hi Everyone!

Well it's Easter weekend and it is about time I came from being "under construction" to LIVE!

It has been interesting chatting with friends on "Blog" about the way we all celebrate or look at Easter. Today is Good Friday, did you have any hot cross buns? and eat just fish?

Many people in England give something up for Lent, it may be chocolate or cakes and then that lasts for the 40 night and days until Easter Sunday and all those lovely Chocolate Easter Eggs can be opened after Church to help celebrate that "Jesus Christ is Risen"

It made me think of other traditional Christian beliefs and one that I still stick to, never do any sewing or cutting of nails on a Sunday, I am certain heir are plenty more as kids we were never allowed to play with a ball or wear anything less than Sunday best clothes.

This morning one of the first items I heard on the radio news was how the Catholic Church in Argentina had relaxed the rule of eating fish on Good Friday as it is such a meat eating country, what next?

Have a Happy & Peaceful Easter

You are so sweet John. Well yesterday went well. I feel better already - even though I'm in "detox" mode. I hope you are feeling better yourself. I think this book is primarily about learning how to eat the right foods. My nuerosuregeon suggested this because he said certain foods can cause headaches, so this elimates everything he told me to, but just gives me a plan. I'm hoping to loose all my baby weight and get back to my size 2 pants that have collected dust. :) We hope all is well in England. Someday we'll visit again with our growing family. Take Care!

Hey John! That's great you were able to listen to conference! Wow... I'm impressed. It was a great experience to hear such profound words that were tailor-made for all of us. I am glad you were able to order that DVD! You must have a larger selection of church media and books than we do! I'm impressed! We hope all is well with you and that your health is improving. We can't wait to come back up to England sometime in the next 5 years. We love that place. Where we live now really reminds us of England... it's pretty cool. We live where houses are stacked upon each other, cloudy/rainy weather, some crazy drivers :) and fun places to eat on every corner. Have you been to SF before? Anyway, I hope all is going well! We sure do miss you!
