Today I said that I had started my 6th decade. My wonderful groupies quickly corrected me. How can I be starting my 7th decade?!? Oh, my. Now I really am a “senior citizen.” I remember when the word senior held so much anticipation and promise. I need to find another label for myself. “Senior” simply […]

Caitlan, Ian and I went to Mass at St. William while Kyle drove off to Huntington, WV to pick up Tim and Sarah, Caitlan’s friends from Oxford. They had been in the states visiting friends in Pennsylvania since December 17th. Now they will be in Kentucky for Kyle and Caitlan’s wedding. Brendan and Kara slept […]

This will be a very eventful time for all of us, so I am going to try to blog, even though I am busier that humanly possible. Today was our last day of school complete with a sing-along and teachers loaded into an “Elf Yourself” jib-jab that made the student body literally scream with laughter. […]

Yellow flowers are so cheerful. Don’t you think so? Aren’t yellow flowers cheerful?

never to be alone on both my birthday and Valentine’s Day evenings again! At least Patti cooked bulgogi, and it was quite delicious. My groupies are always there for me. But going home alone is the pits. This lady sings the blues

I’ve decided to write short blog posts. Maybe I’ll write every day that way. I am heading across the pond on Wednesday. I promise to let you know about the wonderful trip that Caitlan, Kyle and I are going to take. Anyway, here are a few highlights from this weekend and the past two months: […]

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, and […]

Lent is early this year. I’m going to take a lead from Ian, who started this, I think, when he was in hight school, and not eat meat at all during Lent. I’ll try to do other things as well, since I don’t eat that much meat any way, but it will make it easier […]
