For vacation, I’m visiting my sister at her college in Virginia, and thought I’d do a little daily blog on this website! Above I’ve attached an audio bite you can listen to as well.
Today was magnificent! I woke up to the vibrant sun cascading into “St. Anne’s Cottage” over the lush mountains. I took a nice warm shower, got into my suit, and drank a smoothie. Then we drove 2 hours to a Catholic parish and attended mass. It was beautiful! In Catholicism, statues are veiled for all of Lent. Seeing everything unveiled again was like the light at the end of a tunnel.
A priest from our home parish had been relocated to this parish, so we were hoping to see him. Unfortunately, he was very busy; Easter
is a
huge day for priests afterall!
Then we went to brunch. But it wasn’t your ordinary brunch. It was at the grand “Hotel Jefferson”, built in 1895. It was
insane!! I had biscuits and gravy, fresh fruit, carved prime rib, and carrot salad.
Yah.
Insane.
Fancy hotels make me feel so good; the elegant bathrooms, the deluxe scent, and the exquisite chandeliers. It makes me feel
so fresh! There’s nothing better.
On the car trip back, I talked with the family; it was a good,
cozy conversation. I missed my sis, and I didn’t even know it. That’s a memory I’ll never forget.
Once we got back, I changed. And now here I am writing this on an oak table, looking out to the view below, listening to my sister play the guitar and sing! What a day!
I’m hoping tonight the fam is going to watch a veterinary show.
Today was definitely a day of memories I’ll never forget. Thank God for Easter!!!
