Happy Birthday to my g’dd… MA have a wonderful day.

Morning! Much better today after 9 hrs of sleep. Must have eaten something that didn’t agree with me. Regardless, I am ready for the day.

Books… Michael Connelly has been keeping me entertained in the car these days. Gotta love the suspense and drama in his books. I’ve also enjoyed Madeline Martin, Rod Dreher, and JD Vance as they spin their stories. Nothing like a good book to take you to another place and time.

The hope is to get the new ceiling in the spare bedroom in the next 2 wks. Get things set up in there, actually having a place for someone to stay. From there the hope is the other bedroom and hallway upstairs. New paint on the walls and ceilings. The man and I are going to be busy. It is time to get after it. Of course it would really be awesome if my boys would decide to come for a weekend and lend a hand.

In the Catholic Tradition… 1 Kings 19:4-8… Sometimes we feel tired along the way and it seems to us God has abandoned us. Often we are troubled and sorrowful, humbled by our many lapses into sin, dispairing of ever becoming holy. At times such as this we need nourishment, the Eucharist, this spiritual food contains the real living Jesus and it will give us strength to continue our journey.

Know you are prayed for.
