Welcoming the Happy Morning, in Jamaica Plain

Happy Easter to all!  Here's Frances, ready for the day.


This Easter was a bit different from last Easter.  Last Easter, Mark was busy studying, so Frances and I went without him to our beloved Christ Church in Cambridge.  Later, we met up with Mark and dined at a vegan restaurant in Harvard Square.  This year, we all got to celebrate together.  We are somewhat between churches this year, having yet to find a nearby church that feels like home.  We've been attending Trinity Episcopal Church in Boston.  It's a terribly proper place.  Mark loves that the service starts very early and doesn't eat up the day.  I love that the children's choir wears proper robes (I've got standards when it comes to acceptable attire for children's choirs).  Frances loves that we take the train to church.  Not a great way to pick a church, but it will do for now.  The Easter service was full of pomp and fanfare, and over by about 9:30.  This is Frances strutting her stuff in front of the church and the people lined up for the 10:00 service.



Unlike last year, this Easter was very un-vegan.  We went to a little cafe after church where Mark had biscuits and sausage gravy.  Then we came home and ate quiche, ham, salad and strawberry shortcake.  We even kept Frances up late (7:30!) so we could play outside together in the lengthening Spring evening.  A very festive day.
