Mending

This afternoon the sun shone in the dining room window as if it were calling me to sit at the table. But what should I do? I've basically sat for 10 days and my hands and eyes are tired of that. I pulled out the forgotten sewing machine and hemmed Grace's pants and started fixing her Easter dress. The original plan called for adjusting the shoulder seams on Holy Thursday, but since that was the beginning to the end nothing happened. And since we were not able to attend Easter Mass, there was no need for an Easter dress, but now we are all anxiously awaiting our chance to shine for Jesus. Next Sunday I'll have all the flaws worked out of the Easter outfits and we'll march into church as proud as can be.
