Here is the picture of me and the other participants in the church talent show that I clipped from the church bulletin:
I’m exhausted after taking Marley to Capital Canine obedience training.  Both training nights so far had a thunderstorm.  Marley wants to leave every time we walk past the door. Then I have to drag her. I am seeing progress but she is shaking like a toy poodle.  She is starting to COME and SIT. Dang, we have barely getting those 2 and now we got to learn DOWN and STAY. I bought her a new training collar which should help and they sell them there at cost.  I was so exhausted I had a glass of Merlot!!!  Even my son is admitting there is progress.  She is transforming from a squirrel to a pet.

Thursday I shipped two boxes to Afghanistan on my way home from work.  When I got home I received free mail thanking me for a box that was sent Feb 24.  I send without expecting a thank you but it sure is encouraging and reassuring that the mail made it thru. 
This is the second year that the scouts left me a bag for canned goods which I filled and left on my mail box that they didn't come pick up.  I even saw them in a van collecting while walking my dogs and told them to be sure and pick mine up.  I guess we get missed on a cul-de-sac.  Sunday after church, I met up with about 5 other motorcyclists through our Red Knights MC and we had a nice ride to the Approach restaurant in Meredosia, IL.  The weather was great for the ride and I told Terry to make all of our rides like this one.
I got mail from a female soldier that thanked me for the box this week.

I got caught up on my emails on Saturday night and discovered an important one that was sent on Thursday.  It was about our Passion skit that we do every year.   It is memorization and that leaves us one week to practice.  Although I pretty much remember my lines from the previous 2 years it will make me adjust my plans for Tues and Thursday practices as well as Saturday practice before the 4:30 mass.  The original skit is on YouTube but that’s not me in it.  http://youtu.be/D_ojROenoAM I’m hoping that the person playing Pilot may want my toga outfit.  Only Pilot and Jesus have single roles and the rest of the ensemble wears red.
Our church is planning its Easter décor as in every year the families make a decorative contribution.  Last year we decorated Styrofoam crosses and this year’s them is Shields of Faith.  The banner is supplied and families just fill in the middle.  I found a canvas bag at the Salvation Army that said:  “Faith is Knowing He Will” and it really matched the them.  I just wished that the red letters were more legible.  Of course, my faith journey always involves something patriotic so I added a little eagle patch from the sewing kit on the bottom.  I was the first to turn in a completed banner because I brought it to church during our Passion practice.
There ought to be a law against deep frying in an office break room. Sure smells up my office. Last year they fried fish. This time it's rabbit. Happy Easter. I think they have a loner in the section. You know that was a hunter that killed the rabbit and another in that same office asked me to continue to feed the squirrel when he retires soon.  I said no way.
