Kind of a super cool piece from Canton that has a special purpose. Not a harlequin fan, but I liked the colors and it's just right for our annual screening of "Chocolat" on Fat Tuesday! Join us!

Well, I already know this plate will be covered with delectable items from either See's Candies and/or Aldi's (great candy there, btw) for Fat Tuesday's chocolat event. For as far back as we can remember, we gather at the chapel on Fat Tuesday to make our last indulgencies happen before our Lenten Fast. It's sacred, it's sacramental, and it's stupendous! Watching one of our favorite movies (and about the only one I know with a Lenten theme) is great with a gathering of the faithful. We're pretty sure lots of close friends, book club folk and bible study folk will be here. I have to say that I like the plate displayed on the super cool, huge tray that Brittany gave us. We've used that thing like 399 times already! Didn't even know we needed it. Sooooo, if you're interested in the fun ritual that IS Fat Tuesday, please let us know. Everyone brings their own favorite savory or sweet treat that they are probably going to give up for Lent. It's a nice spiritual and joyeaux way to head into one of our favorite Liturgical seasons.

Otherwise, things are quiet at the chapel, and we're prepping for Saturday's visit by a new bride and groom. Thankfully, again, lots of marital interest in the chapel this month, and we never complain about that! Stay warm, stay blessed, and stay married, for heaven's sake! :)
