Usually, we get several turkeys during the pre-Thanksgiving Day sales. We have one on Thanksgiving day, one at Christmas, one at Easter. If there are any left, we have it at some other convenient time. Well, this year as usual, we got 4 turkeys. We ate one at Thanksgiving; we ate another on Christmas-day; then our refridgerator had a problem.... I had to order a part (arrived yesterday), but in the meantime, the leftover turkeys defrosted and have been cooked. So, what to do for Easter dinner (I know it is a little early to plan, but usually this is settled some 8 months ahead of time.) ?

I suggested to Mrs. Curley that we slaughter and feast on our non-productive rabbits for Easter. She was aghast. Eat rabbits on Easter? To me the irony makes it very appealing-as well as fodder for a good story.

From yesterday's Liturgy of the Hours (morning prayer):

Rejoice in the wonderful works of the Lord for he has given us hope through the birth of his Son. Let us all cry with great joy:

Glory to God in the highest.

With the angels and patriarchs and prophets - we praise you, Lord.

With Mary, the Virgin Mother of God - our whole being proclaims your greatness, Lord.

With the apostles and evangelists - we give you thanks, Lord.

With all the holy martyrs- we offer our bodies to you as consecrated victims.

With all your holy witnesses in the Church - we dedicate our lives to you in deepest faith.
