Some Extra Special Good Things

1. I made a practice bouquet for a friend's upcoming wedding. The result: amazingly lovely, for $5 roses and Queen Anne's Lace. It is a real joy to help them.

2. Our Legion of Mary group continues to be a huge encouragement. In the mother rut, we surround ourselves with other moms just like us. Seeing beyond my generation reminds me of the big picture.

3. I am taking all 3 children to visit my brother before he leaves Florida. By myself! Hear me roar!

4. My garden is coming up roses--literally. I dug a row of yellow Knockout roses from $3 clearance plants. A blue clematis is slowly climbing up our little Marian shrine.

5. The Bishop will be consecrating families to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart with a special Mass at our church. He also approved my website project, and that is a big load off my chest!

  2. Yes! This saved me.

    Seeing beyond my generation reminds me of the big picture.

    Also, what's the new website? :))

    Miss you friend!

  3. Hi Meredith! When is that special Mass? And congrats on the web site.

    I have a local lady who has been reading my blog for about a year now. She's nearly 70, and isn't a blog reader, but found me. Once in a while she would email me a comment re: something I posted, and eventually we emailed a little more - not necessarily related to a post. I visited her at her home this week, meeting her for the first time. She is so wonderful. I think it is crazy weird but very delightful that I've made this new friend.
