Overheard at the 4th of July Celebration

July 6, 2007 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Anecdotal, Minnesota Me 3 Comments

(During the thick-and-the-thin of the bottle-rocketing, fire-crackering & other various loud-explosives-lighting)

“…do you know, if it weren’t for fire and matches, we wouldn’t have any altar boys!”

Father D., beloved parish priest and boy-at-heart

    I think you might need to add the leftover wine to that list too!

    I have tagged you at my blog for a meme about Jesus. I hope you will check it out and participate too. I tagged Barb too!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
