Lenten Traditions (Catholic Caucus)
Self | 23 Feb 2011 | Natural law

Posted on 02/23/2011 8:51:13 PM PST by Natural Law

One of the blessings of our US Catholic communities is the contributions of each of the many cultures represented in our parishes. As we prepare ourselves for our Lenten Observation it would be fantastic if we share the unique and special Lenten traditions and recipes of our communities and childhoods. Surely we can collectively do better than salmon loaf every Friday.

Oh, I see. I have Monkey Face for my Voice of Reason. She tells me useful things like, “Don’t kill Bill: he’ll leave home someday,” and I send her chocolate.

My 3rd child was an alien, too, and so is the 6th.

LOL! Friends on FR are priceless!

I keep trying for a monkey instead of an alien. Maybe this 6th time’s a charm? :0)

**************************************

That seems like good advice to me, but then again, I don't know Bill.

Get to know Bill before he leaves home. It will all make sense, then.

I don’t know, he looks pretty normal to me. Nice smile, too!

All TC’s kids are “normal,” but a couple stretch the limits of the word. They are normal within their own normalcy. ;o]

I like every one of them!

I knew you’d understand! (There are no aliens...just differing normalcies.)
