Se hace el semestre.

The semester is done!  I took my Spanish final Tuesday night and emailed my final essay on Richard Nixon at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday!  YAY!
I was not pleased at the conclusion of the Spanish final.  Though it was simple, I struggled with direct and indirect objects and reflexive verbs, which was no different than what was [...]

Kitchen Time & Grandparent Visits

No doubt, dear Reader, you are wondering what in the world a kitchen timer has to do with a visit to the Grandparent’s house.  Would it help to tell you that it involves the Grandson?

The Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day parade is Sunday.  My niece, RP, does Irish dancing and was featured, along with her dance troup, on the local CBS station yesterday morning.  The picture isn’t the greatest but you can view the video here.  She is the one in the middle with the teal/red dress.

In light of my recent post and link to Fr. Peter’s blog, I recommend to you this story about a horse named Hope.  In it you will read about the wonderful support of the local, sheriff, fire department and highway department to save this animal’s life.  Incredible!
I’ve yet to meet Hope but that will be [...]

Feliz de Accion de Gracias

I love the way the Spanish say “Happy Thanksgiving.”  Translated it is Happy Action of Thanks.
Giving thanks is an action.  It requires thought and follow-through.  To that end, I have given some thought to what I am thankful for from last Thanksgiving to this Thanksgiving, a year which had many difficulties.  But one that also [...]

Happy Birthday

Today, 27 years ago, my dear son was born.  I cannot believe that I have a son who is that age.  I am not old enough!  LOL!
Saturday he came home, brought his ‘girl’ with him, and we all had dinner.  It is a tradition that the birthday celebrant gets to have what ever they want [...]

Peace & Quiet

Not with the hubster yelling and cheering at the TV every 3 seconds.  Yes, he is a Red Sox fan, as is his sister and son who have been calling one another every 10 minutes during the last 3 games.
They’re up 6 - 0, top of the 3rd.  I’m going to bed.

Goin’ a visitin’

Today the hubster and I visited with his Mom and Dad who live near the middle of the State.  It is always a nice time. 
We met them at Cracker Barrel, which is an easy off/on the major highway route to their home, for lunch.  We had a lovely lunch and chattered the entire time.  Afterwards [...]
