AU Women's Basketball Eagles

It was been very very fun to follow part of the AU Women's Basketball Eagles season. They have done really, really well. And not only won the regional championships but made it to the NCAA Division II National Championships and wan!

Ha sido muy muy divertido poder seguir parte de la temporada del baloncesto femenino de la Universidad de Ashland. No solamente ganaron a nivel regional sino que ¡consiguieron el título nacional hace a penas dos semanas!

A Different Easter - Una Semana Santa diferente

Waiting...
Esperando...
"Hot-Cruss" buns English way.
(Note: with accident... They look good but the firemen came as the oven produced too much smoke for me to control and the fire alarm came off!!!!!!!)
(NB: Tienen buena pinta pero, ¡recibí la visita de los bomberos porque el horno empezó a echar humo que no pude controlar y saltó la sirena!)
All things are made new, just as Jesus raised from the dead, new signs of spring.
Todo es hecho nuevo, así como Jesús resucitó de entre los muertos, nuevas señales de primavera.

And of course, I could not miss my (mini) chocolate bunny. 
Y, claro... no podía faltar mi (mini) conejo de chocolate.

He is risen indeed! May we live each day as Resurrection day!
¡Ha resucitado sin duda! ¡Qué podamos vivir cada día como día de Resurrección!
