Thank you. I like that you called it Shrove Tuesday. I have a bad memory association of when a beloved pet died three years ago on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. I was more in the habit of calling it Mardi Gras (not the wild and crazy version, just the colors of gold/green/purple decorations much tamer version). When my bunny died and I blamed myself for her death (for not noticing a hazard that she got into), I could no longer enjoy the Mardi Gras decorations.
A blessed Shrove Tuesday, and Ash Wednesday, and Lent to you, too.
