Yep, this girl is along for the ride. Leetle baby Julia who would tell me, “The Camino is calling me! I hear it!” And so it was. The Camino has called us all. I called Julia tonight (I’m writing these the night before we leave, btw). I said, “TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU ARE BRINGING SOContinueContinue reading “July 14–Prayers for Baby Julia-Ghoulia”

July 13–Prayers being collected for our friend Jesus
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”
July 11–Pray for Joshy-washy!
My baby. This is my baby brother Josh. He is a light in my heart and in my life. He’s a goober, though, so pray that he STAYS IN LINE. 😀 Things we’re thankful for: His happy attitude His sense of humor His muscles Pray that he brings his positive energy to the group andContinueContinue reading “July 11–Pray for Joshy-washy!”
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…”
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”
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!”
Paper dolls–NOW IN TECHNICOLOR!
Remember when I gave you a paper doll to color? You don’t need to anymore. My mom made the best one. You can just download hers and play away! I’m just sad that I won’t look this cute in real life. 🙂 I mean, LOOK at those colors!
More Camino
I was thinking about this yesterday: some time in the 1300’s there was a brother somewhere in Europe who copied the Bible by hand. And I have no idea what his name was. He is a forgotten person…but he handed down THE BIBLE. And then, sometime later, a different man made another copy. And thenContinueContinue reading “More Camino”
Packing for Spain. Now with BONUS Paper doll!
We leave soon. 🙂 So soon. Some helpful people will say things like, “Let me know if I can help you pack, OK?” Thing is, on the Camino the goal is the least amount of weight you can carry. I don’t really have everything I need yet, but here’s a PAPER DOLL to show youContinueContinue reading “Packing for Spain. Now with BONUS Paper doll!”
