Impressive after Communion prayer . . .


What a fantastic start to a bright, sunny late winter day. I was craving Cinnamon Crisp for breakfast so Puppy's Pop obliged me by taking me to Old Tymes in Norwich. Just delicious and we were able to say hello to Lucille, one of the owners, who reminded us they have been in business for 28 years! We don't stop in often any more but when I crave my Cinnamon Crisp it's got to be satisfied. P'sP likes their Ultimate so we both get our hearts' desires. Maybe not good for our bodies but good for the soul. I like to enjoy good food! Besides the great start to the day I went to 11 o'clock Mass and the choir did a beautiful rendition of Above All for the after Communion song. I tried to find a good rendition on YouTube but couldn't find anything satisfactory. Should tape the All Hallows' choir because they did a great job. Just closed my eyes and enjoyed their music. I've included a link to one YouTube version but it isn't even close to what I heard this morning. The verse that starts with , "Crucified . . ." was so powerful this morning. It wasn't schmaltz as are the renditions I found.

Oh well back to the mundane. Have to make the beds, walk in the yard picking up sticks and cook up some pepper steak for supper. My crazy UCONN women let me down yesterday too. What a life. Time to turn off the basketball and read more!
