I met James, Susan, and Mom at Sacred Heart Church. I was lector for the first Sunday of Advent. We came back, ate lunch, and worked on going through piles of papers on Mombo’s desk. I stopped by Jay’s in the a.m. to have him check the tire from yesterday. No major damage but he […]

The next two days were a whirlwind. Thanks to Ian’s taxi service, we got Tim and Sara and John and Gail to the airport. It was so wonderful to have them all here. We had a lovely breakfast of broccoli quiche at Rocking Horse Manor before saying our good-byes. As people stopped by to see […]

Last night was spent in the company of my dear family. Mombo and I made Hoppin’ John, and Dana brought cabbage rolls. Jerusha and Clay brought lots of snacks, and I had my first taste of Bud Lime thanks to Clay. We put on the ’40’s music station ( later switched to the ’60’s), and […]

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 […]

It is so wonderful to have Caitlan home. Unfortunately, she caught a bug somewhere along the line (maybe on the plane), so her first week home wasn’t the most pleasant. She and Kyle were able to eat dinner here in Campbellsville with Janet and me before she got sick. Janet made delicious taco soup. I […]

After Mass at Wt. William’s in Lancaster, I went back to Kelley Ridge to clean up the holiday debris.Caitlan and her friends were planning on spending New Year’s Eve there, and I wanted it to be inviting. I headed on to the Valley at about 5 and was so tired by the time I pulled […]

My dad’s dog, Razor, died yesterday, in the yard, under a blanket. James and Susan had gotten him for Grandy-bo after his former dog, Pirate, died. Razor was at least 18 years old. He was really sick, but it won’t seem the same to come up to the Hall without him greeting me. The end […]

I got up early today and spend time doing menial chores at Kelley Ridge before driving to the Valley to join Mombo and the Greystone bunch on Ms. Susan Toad’s Wild Ride to Campbellsville. We made it in time to witness Bub sponsoring Deutsch as Aiden in his Confirmation in the Faith, even though he […]
