Safe Across the Pond

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Caitlan has let us know that she and Kyle arrived safely in Oxford. Thanks be to God. I hope they have a wonderful time during his visit there. Then she will be studying day and night for her final exams (I think they are called collections) before coming home on June 17th. I am so […]

The Journey Begins

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

I want to write about Jerome and Janet’s journey to Guatemala this week so that anyone who wants to keep up with what I know can check here. Yesterday was Abe’s Birthday, and I didn’t have school because of black ice. I thought I could be of help to J&J who had the day off […]

Advent Wreath

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

I remember having an Advent wreath from a very early age. We usually got the candles at a Rosary-Altar Society bake sale or something similar. We would cut a few branches from the evergreen bushes that grew around the porch. Dad made a holder out of rabbit cage wire, and we would stand the candles […]

Weekend

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

After our big day on Friday, I headed to Danville to stop by the art center and see John’s original watercolor for the Brass Band Festival poster. I had to purchase a poster for myself and have it signed. It is magnificent (portraits of various hornblowers)–reminded me of when Wayne and I first came to […]

Mags

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

After Joe died I must have some form of grief induced a.d.d. Anyway, I couldn’t read anything longer than a short magazine or newspaper article. A novel? Forget it. So I started subscribing to magazines–usually they had to be a dollar an issue or less. Also Joe had frequent flyer miles that he did not […]

My March Madness is Over

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

I’ve never had it before. Oh, it was fun to go to Ian’s or Cailan’s middle school games, but I never really caught the madness. In those days a basket was like a win. I never really understood the phrase–just a game you know, not a disease. Until this year. Until our Hayley. Why else […]

Toonle Nuda Casserole

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

I never had a hard time not eating meat on Ffidays because I liked the food that we did have. I only remember one time that I was tempted to eat meat–Friday night football games and hot dogs. In those days we always had pizza and spaghetti with meat, and Mombo made vegetable soup and […]
