The Feast of the Visitation

Today was the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to her cousin, Elizabeth. I would like to say something beautiful about this lovely feast… one of my favorites, but I won’t. My friend at Life’s Little Blessings did such a beautiful job already. Go read it here.

Still On the Road and a Glimpse of Tux-Boy

It is hard for me to fathom that although we said good-bye at the airport yesterday morning that my husband is still traveling and will continue to travel for a ridiculous amount of time. I feel so badly for him. How awful to be on the road so long and so [...]

Just Some Things On My Mind…

565. To keep busy, I am planning many household projects while dh is gone. I am hoping to come up with at least 12 things to do or have done and hope to tackle at least one a month and have that to focus on. Some of the things I’ve come up with [...]

Always Hard to Say Good Bye

We met our friend, Lone Star Rising, at the airport. It wasn’t planned. Her dh was on his way back over after his R&R. God bless and protect them all as they complete the last leg of their tour. She kindly gave my dh a bottle of holy water, as we’d [...]

My Dearest Friend….

Home is where the heart is.
Oh, and by the way….. those gorgeous kids of hers? Yup. My godchildren! Am I blessed or what?

Taking Rosie the Riveter “Back”

Over the years, “Rosie the Riveter” has become a bit of a feminist icon. She represents the thousands of women who, during World War II, came to the aid of our nation and took the jobs that were previously held by men. These women did a great service to our nation. When [...]

Memorial Day

Many have gone before us and paid the ultimate price. We honor the memory and sacrifice of all who have died for our country since the beginning of our great nation. God rest their souls.
While Memorial Day is our time as a nation to honor our war dead, we cannot help but call [...]

I forgot to take a picture of the cake! It was yummy. The strawberries were perfect!
The girls and I had fun setting the table. I also learned what pieces I still need to buy to [...]

Pentecost 2007

This past week has been quite difficult. The weather is really slamming us badly. We’ve had from 10 to 20 inches in our area and the Centex community has suffered flooding, tornadoes and the death of at least 5 people; others are still missing. Two of those who lost their lives were [...]

How Cool is That?!

My family and I just prayed our evening Chaplet of Divine Mercy together ~ including my husband who is several states away. We used video conferencing to pray together as a family!
How cool is that?!

To Celebrate Pentecost

I have to admit it. We’ve never done much to celebrate Pentecost. We talked about it together. The kids know what and when Pentecost is. We, of course, go to Mass. But we’ve never really made much of a family celebration out of it. I guess our living of [...]

Wasting Time…

I have been wasting time this morning on the internet. I guess if I had to give an excuse it would be that I am so tired from my middle-of-the-night storm watching.
Anyway, I was looking around and link hopping and came to learn that my blog is blocked in China.
Is Yours??
