O Almighty Eternal God, look upon the face of Thy Son, and for the love of Him Who is the Eternal High-priest, have mercy on Thy priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the Bishop's hands. Keep them close to Thee, … [Read more...]
Over the River and through the Woods
A Sewing Weekend So... Friday night found me feeling puny, and thus the whiny post about the low-comment day. Forgive me! "I'd had a glass of wine," I explained in an email to Charlotte on Saturday. "As such, I was feeling forward." "Don't let Drunk You blog!" she wrote back. It's true. Drunk Tipsy Me speaks her mind too freely, and I … [Read more...]
Tempted…
...on low-comment days to think this blog is all stuff and nonsense. There is more to me than a ghoulish green face, I promise! Today is the anniversary of finding out about our Jem. Fifteen years ago & there you go...a positive pregnancy test on the Feast of St. Francis that filled this momma's heart with joy. We spent the day (it was a … [Read more...]
Scenes from the Feast
Okay, first of all? Going to see Wicked with my daughter Cate was not--I repeat, not--in the birthday budget. This is why I married the man that I did. If I had married a man like me, this blog would have a very different name. Hooverville Mom. That has a really nice ring, don't you think? Also, Cate assured me that I would be extremely popular … [Read more...]
In Praise of Being Mrs. B.
This is me, Mrs. B., wishing you were here with me. Photo Credit: Kaylee R. We could share a cup of tea. Or better yet... A large coffee. Why? 'Cause today is my birthdee! Huh. Something about that last line just doesn't work. In any case, yes, today is my birthday. I am one year older than the last time I blogged … [Read more...]
On this Feast
16 years ago then... And now. Sixteen years ago this morning, I called my friend at 9:00 a.m. "Okay, so I'm in labor right now. Do I think I should be going to Mass?" "You nut!" she responded. "Get to the hospital!" We've loved celebrating his birthday on this great feast although logistically, yes, it can get a bit tricky. … [Read more...]
Family Fun 101
The "They're Back from Camp!" Edition There is so much I could say about this camp, but for now... Well, it's Friday and I finally have all my chicks home. I feel like Felicity looks in this photo. Calm...happy...and completely in love with Our Lord and my family. Have a blessed weekend, everyone! … [Read more...]
By Love Refined
I have one more "favorite photo" to share from my trip home. This one. This moment. My dad helping my mom into Mass on Sunday; a man holding the arm of his beloved bride; a couple married sixty-six grace-filled years. It's what I hope for my nephew and his wife; it's what I hope...for us. * * * * * One Final … [Read more...]
Thankful Thursday
“The Independence Day Edition” Feeling thankful today for so many things, not the least of which, our freedom. My daddy fought hard and fierce for this freedom. “Whoa,” I once said to him, putting down the WW II book I was reading. “Some of those Japanese soldiers were mean!” “Well, yeah,” he responded. “They were shooting at us.” Thankful … [Read more...]
Blog Problem Solved
You have no idea how annoyed I've been by all this wonky blog behavior. (A first world problem to be sure, but still.) (And yes, you probably do have an idea because I've been nothing if not a great big whiner.) Well, as of today it is fixed fixed FIXED and I owe it all to a savvy, sweet friend. "Whoa," she said, taking a look at all that … [Read more...]
