Visiting St. Patrick's Cathedral on a tour of New York City, my daughter and her children were awed by the sight.
The kids were especially curious about the votive candles, so my daughter asked if they'd each like to light one - which they did. She explained that it is customary to say a prayer of petition or thanks, and she was careful to tell them that these are not like birthday candles.
"Do you have any questions?" she asked.
"No," said the five year old, "but if there's a pony outside, its mine!"

ReplyDeleteIn regards to your question on my Pampered Chef party, I hadn't even thought of the cross border issue! So I called my sister, and she called the home office and we are both devestated! Aparrently my Canadian friends have to order from a Canadian consultant. I am SO sorry!!! and so dissappointed! Take my idea though and have a party for Canadian bloggers. I'll send them your way if you want and as the host you get free stuff and a discount. So So sorry again! But isn't their stuff great?
