So I spent time with this gorgeous face on Sunday. Together we hiked a mini-Camino. We were banished from the real group (more on that later, alligator). See the lilac picture? It represents a larger theme, you see. Today, in my office I mainly focus on those lilacs…and the shining water. And they were beautiful!ContinueContinue reading “Current status: aware of my mosquito bites”

People who have visited my house in one week: a sociological experiment
Sometimes we joke that our house could be the feature of a television show–all types of characters coming and going, eating our food (even when we’re not home), hanging out and being ridiculous. It occurred to me that I would, for one week, take a photograph of everyone who cycled through the house. I startedContinueContinue reading “People who have visited my house in one week: a sociological experiment”
Beautiful, beautiful wedding
I attended a wedding on Saturday. A wedding of a most beautiful bride. It made me remember everything I’ve ever loved and heard about weddings, ever since I was little. I met the bride while we were both in high school, and we met up again years later in college. She has always been sincereContinueContinue reading “Beautiful, beautiful wedding”
SO THEN MY SISTER GRADUATED
Converstion topic: National Lover’s Day
So apparently today is National Lover’s Day. How do I know this? Because I read the internet. May it be known: I am currently flying solo, so this didn’t really impact my life all that much. I continued to read the internet, though, and happened upon this interview upon a blog. I’ll be honest: IContinueContinue reading “Converstion topic: National Lover’s Day”
So close to Spring!
I wore my spring jacket on Friday. At least, I thought I did. Since my sister and I are so close in age/ size/ awesome (ahem) we have matching coats, purchased the same year (Costco!). Hers has her NAME embroidered on the front so I’m not sure how I mixed this up, but I accidentallyContinueContinue reading “So close to Spring!”
Josh is a gooberfish. Episode 5,000
I work relatively normal working hours. This is because I am an old woman with a degree and a steady job. The same cannot be said for the other members of my family, though. I have three siblings who live with me in the same house–all three still at various stages in their college careers.ContinueContinue reading “Josh is a gooberfish. Episode 5,000”
Sacred Triduum. Easter. Easter. Easter.
It is fair to say that Easter is my favorite. It’s my favorite holiday, it’s my favorite teaching, it’s my favorite story. I think I’m going to explode from excitement. 🙂 Holy Week is an immersion into the full human experience on the deepest levels: betrayal, sorrow, suffering…but then inexpressible hope and joy. Oh, andContinueContinue reading “Sacred Triduum. Easter. Easter. Easter.”
Christine, Benedict XVI, and me
Last Thursday, emeritus Pope Benedict XVI left St. Peter’s at 8:00 p.m. which was 2:00 p.m. for us here in the U.S. of A. Our Archbishop invited the faithful to the Cathedral for an hour of prayer surrounding the 2:00 moment–we would pray from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. for emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, forContinueContinue reading “Christine, Benedict XVI, and me”
