Pretty little Communion girl

Little Caroline was radiant as she received her First Communion today at St. Ambrose.  Above she is posing with Fr. Bob Stec (who is celebrating 25 years as a priest next week). It was a very intimate with only 6 kids sitting with their families rather than in the large group setting.

Here she is practicing ahead of time with Mom minutes before she received....

Beautiful day, party, relatives and friends, great food.

Time to get planting this week

I didn't realize this posted.  Was not finished putting down thoughts about the kids paying Ed to fill cracks and seal the driveway for Mother's Day.  It was done yesterday while we celebrated, and looks amazing even though he ran out of sealer 10 feet from the finish line. Of late, I have been doing the bare minimum when it comes to house maintenance, yet the kids who have left home years ago and are raising their own families, take notice and save the day. I soooooo appreciate all of you and your sacrifices for mother dear.

Brunswick schools are closed this week due to a norovirus going around so the twinks will be around on Wednesday.  Hope it is just a precaution and not an epidemic.

When I lamented the short post in a text to Bethy (a paragraph ago), she wrote back...."Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Be sincere, be brief, be seated." You nailed it."  That comment leaves me to think I am normally long winded and long in the tooth.  Will try to be more succinct, hence forth.

As ever,
