I met this guy several years ago. My oldest brother volunteered with an order of priests, as did this guy. At the end of the year they were going to have a mission to a large city–New York, maybe? But, alas, swine flu fear grasped the country and flights were cancelled. My brother recommended ourContinueContinue reading “July 13–Prayers being collected for our friend Jesus”

July 12- Pray for Ceebs
My sister. My dearest partner in greatness. We travel together well, even though she needs a precise schedule. Frequently, I pretend we have one and make it up on the spot because I am good at improving these situations. She’s cool with that, though. This is the girl who packed the first aid kit first.ContinueContinue reading “July 12- Pray for Ceebs”

Ready or not…
…here we come! The pig is at the sitter’s. I decorated the intern’s desk with Justin Bieber pictures. I’ve packed my bag. I also, at some point last night, said, “Enough. I’ve cut enough. It’s coming now.” Enough lines had been drawn. The inhaler is coming. The shirt is coming. The third pair of socksContinueContinue reading “Ready or not…”
July 10– Pray for Father Simon!
I was walking down the street to mass one day and I saw this guy. I had never seen him before in my life and I said, “Hey!” He paused and inched (centimeter’ed?) away, “Yes?” “Are you a PRIEST?” “Yessssss?” “I’m Danielle! We can be friends!” Pretty much. (Funny how God pulls people together. We’reContinueContinue reading “July 10– Pray for Father Simon!”
Camino post
This is what my pack looked like a few hours ago. And now I’m slashing whilst whimpering. Letting go is a hard, hard, hard process. Like, I figure I’m past comfort, you guys. I’m ready with sleeping bag in pack to face the elements, sleep on floors, and shower with bugs. I’m ready to goContinueContinue reading “Camino post”
Still getting ready
On the Fourth of July my family felt lazy. Too lazy, in fact, to go floating down the river in inner tubes, which has been a small tradition in the past. So, instead my sister and I rented a canoe for an hour and she didn’t want to explore as much as I did andContinueContinue reading “Still getting ready”

Nell goes to a BABY SHOWER
Hi. Where have I been??? Mostly: crazy. 🙂 Count-down to Spain: 8 days. Woot. Anyway, I had a baby shower last weekend. Now, baby showers are finicky business. I like to bring useful, cute things…but it’s hard to know what to bring. Here’s what I did for this one: hats, baby hats. That and IContinueContinue reading “Nell goes to a BABY SHOWER”
More Camino Prep!
Christine called me at work today, “I worked on packing all morning. My pack weighs 30 lbs.” We aim for 10% of our body weight…which means Christine’s goal weight for her pack is less than half of that. “What’s in there??” I asked. But, you see, the weight adds quickly. A few shirts. Some shampoo.ContinueContinue reading “More Camino Prep!”
