Wednesday Notebook #4

Liturgically:

It’s Spy Wednesday. Tomorrow evening the Sacred Triduum starts, with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. This is followed by Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. And then, of course, EASTER.

Links and Such and programming notes

Speaking of sheep—remember Ma’s Delaine dress in Little House in the Big Woods? Meet the delaine merino sheep! The wool is soft, fine, and wrinkle free, so wonder Ma liked it! A beautiful fabric that doesn’t wrinkle?!

The Long Lent and the History of Quarantine

NO seven quick takes this week since it’s Good Friday. On Monday, though, BIRTHDAY WRAP UP! :)
