Friday Night: Went to Patti’s for Groupies. We were all there, which I liked, because frequently one of us has other commitments. We have decided to read Scott Hahn’s THE LAMB’S SUPPER which is about the Mass and the Book of Revelation. Patti had a chicken cacciatore sort of dish over pasta, salad, bread, […]

I do not eat them any more.
They’re made from what is on the floor.
I do not like them, Oscar Meyer.
Not even from a late campfire.
I do not eat them off the grill.
I won’t eat one at all until. . . .
I’m at the Taylor County High School girls’ softball field, and Hayley is playing […]

Over the weekend I took two long walks. The first, on Saturday, was at dusk. I tried to walk my Kelley Ridge property line to the west of the lane coming back to the house. This is the only time of year to do it. I so wish I had the ability to clean up […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
