Hope the Horse

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 [...]

The End…And The Beginning

Here is a year in review using the first sentence written in each month’s blog entry.  I’ve not been too active with writing this past year.  Perhaps I can rectify that next year.  And that is NOT a “New Year’s Resolution!!”  Can’t stand them ’cause I never keep them.  LOL!
Dear readers, thank you for your [...]

“The Omnivore’s Dilemma”

Dear Readers, I commend to you a book entitled The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals written by Michael Pollan.  It was listed as one of the 10 best book of the year in The New York Times Book Review.

Christmas “tag”…you’re it!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper, absolutely!  I love to wrap gifts and make them pretty.
2. Real tree or Artificial?
Every year until this one it has been real but due to my high mold allergies we purchased a fake one.  Everyone who saw it complimented it saying how “real” it looked. 
3. When do you [...]

Sigh.  I [...]

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 [...]

Do you remember?

45’s!  I remember many a summer day spent with girlfriends creating dance routines to different music played on an old 45 record player.

These plastic widgets were put in the center of a 45 record in order to play it on a traditional record player.

My favorites were Tweekbury gum and Razzle Dazzle bubble gum!  YUM!

And who [...]

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.

More interesting things

Fr. John Whiteford posts an article written about JK Rowling and the Christian undertones in the HP Series.  Reader beware!  Spoiler alert!  Of course, poor observer that I am…I missed all the undertones in the first few books.  I really need to go back and re-read all of them.
Fr. Peter, who also serves as an [...]
