We had a wonderful day! I hope you do too, reader. C cooked! He usually cooks on the holidays. His food is excellent. I definitely can't diet over Thanksgiving and Christmas! We had manicotti and fish and biscuits and pie and potatoes, etc. It's been a relaxing day. I did a little embroidery for the … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!

A Lovely Sunday
I attended OCIA today and learned about the liturgical calendar. There's more to it than I really realized. Christmas isn't just one day. There are so many celebrations of different biblical things and saints in the Catholic Church that you have some special observance rather regularly. I feel a little overwhelmed and yet happy. Sometimes … Continue reading A Lovely Sunday
Life Updates
In the next 2 weeks, I begin RCIA classes to become Catholic. I'm excited! I still have some reservations, particularly with praying to Mary and the Saints. But as I read Catholic theologians and writers, it's making more sense. I have a new doctor to go to, and the office provides transportation when you need … Continue reading Life Updates
Health, Catholic
Due to my health, we have had to pull our daughter out of school to send her to a school with bus service. She starts sometime next week. I feel terribly guilty, but exhausted and frazzled, too. I will be glad she has bus service. At least she will get to ride to school with … Continue reading Health, Catholic
Work in Progress
We have gotten so much done around the house. We've probably unpacked 200 boxes in the past 4 days. My husband has been amazing. He works so quickly, and he's so patient and helpful. And our daughter has been a terrific little helper. I'm proud of her. I can't sing their praises enough. A had … Continue reading Work in Progress
The Last Days of Summer
The week is off to a busy start between doctor appointments, school uniform shopping, and medical stuff for school. My daughter A came home late Friday night. My dad flew her home, and he stayed with us for the weekend, flying home Sunday night. His visit was awesome! We drove around and took him to … Continue reading The Last Days of Summer
Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week
We went to the same church as last week today. The pastor preached boldly from scripture about wives submitting to their husbands and husbands loving their wives sacrificially. It makes me excited to go back. I emailed about getting involved with some volunteering. This weekend was lovely. We took care of errands together, but more … Continue reading Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week
Trying to Recover Me
Tuesday and Wednesday I volunteered at the dog shelter. A dog I fell in love with the first day was adopted the second day, which made me happy. I came home exhausted, strangely exhausted, but with the satisfaction of making living, loving little animals' day better. Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me
1st Day
Today was my first day volunteering at the animal shelter! I loved it! I played with two dogs, one of whom was named Whimsy and loved to chase the ball. I played with kittens! I returned home early, however, because it poured on me, and I got drenched and uncomfortable. My raincoat is with the … Continue reading 1st Day
Prayer
I don't know about you, dear reader, but I need a better prayer life. We often think of praying as something you do alone, down on your knees or lying in bed. But if you only pray when you're in one of those two positions, you will not pray enough. After all, life is busy. … Continue reading Prayer
