Can't believe that Lent has already started.  Today was Ash Wednesday.   Holy Family had a noon Mass and the ceremony  marking of a cross with ashes on the forehead.    "Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return."   It was also a day of fast and abstinence.   I am over 60 and technically don't have to fast any more but I am healthy enough that I CAN do this so I do.    No meat a couple days here and there is just a reminder of the importance of Lent.

After Mass, I went and visited with Bart for a little bit.  Then came home and took care of a few more things around here.   Barb picked me up at about 5PM.   Marlies had invited us to the casino for dinner as she had coupons and a gift certificate.    Bart chose to stay home.   So it was ladies night.  We had good dinner and a nice visit.  

Tomorrow night starts a Bible Class at Holy Family.   It is on John.   I have to find my bibles.
