Gave Instead Of Lent 35-37

March 26: Gave prayers for a friend's dearly departed mother, made better for having come after the Stations of the Cross.

March 27: Gave my violin a chance to put me into a violin rehearsal.

March 28: Gave back to one who fed me: cooked a full Jamaican breakfast of ackees (given freely by a friend from her tree on a hill), salt fish, fried dumplings, with some boiled green bananas. While we were well satisfied, I had to give some to another person who had cooked me the same breakfast a few weeks ago.

Gave a mini concert performance, with a dip into a new repertoire, to help the Pre-Twinklers stay in rhythm.
