1st Holy Communion anni for my dd#1 Kaylee, this day 1986
Baptism anniversary for my niece Claire S in 1997
We head to LaCrosse today, the man for his hearing aid appt, me for PT. So glad it worked out we could go together.
In John 17 Jesus prays for his disciples. It is a beautiful prayer. He is praying for us (vs 20) isn’t that exciting to know that Jesus is specifically praying for us.
I read this letter to the Editor yesterday…
I responded with a letter of my own. The parameters of the newspaper didn’t allow me to fully state what I think because they are afraid of being sued or hurting the feelings of some “woke” person who obviously believes she is entitled to take, yes I say take, steal, use at will someone else’s hard-earned money to ease her lack of funds. It doesn’t matter that she is on disability. That isn’t what is preventing her from living a full, happy life. Her idea that someone (albeit a rich someone) should take her clothing $$ and give that to her so she doesn’t have to live on assistance… ludicrous thinking. Where does this thought process come from?
This brings me to wonder why anyone would think their college loans should be forgiven? After all, THEY decided to go to college. THEY applied for and listened to the terms of the loan BEFORE they got it and signed for it. Why is it now taxpayers who must foot the bill? It DOES NOT MATTER if they changed their mind about their career, failed the course, or didn’t find employment in their field. THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM! Nor should it be, EVER my problem.
This nation is raising thousands of entitled young people, THAT is the problem with what is going on now.
Young adults who want to make more money than they are willing to put forth work for. They want to carry their water bottles and cell phones everywhere they go. If they don’t feel like showing up for work they just call in. Makes no sense. Not a clue why employers put up with this.
Yes, I know, I’m an old fuddy-duddy who probably made their children pay for their own college classes, probably expected them to GET A JOB and buy their own toys, probably expected them to do chores at home BECAUSE THEY ARE PART OF A FAMILY UNIT. Also probably expected them: not to swear, to attend church each week, to help out a neighbor without compensation, to wait for things they couldn’t afford until they had the money to afford it. Yep, that’s me. I also didn’t get too excited when they got hurt (unless it was serious) didn’t care if they got dirty, and didn’t allow them to come and go as they pleased.
Yep, that’s me. I even packed lunch when they ran away so they didn’t have to worry about getting hungry.
All of which is probably child abuse today.
Okay rant over.
I’m off and running to get my responsibilities taken care of so that I don’t infringe on other people’s responsibilities.
know you are prayed for, even if I don’t agree with your thought process, God will sort it out the way that gives glory to him.

Coffee strong…going to need it like that.
The man sleeps…he should, lots of hard physical labor went into the yard yesterday. The hope is to finish today.
Slept in this morning. Drove too long/far yesterday. I’m paying for it today.
Bridal wreath shrubs are blooming. They are going to be spectacular. Actually, all the flowers this year have been exceptional.
Need to find a new book today.
Mt. Washmore needs climbing.
Clutter Cove needs a good straightening.
Birthday & Anniversary greetings to all celebrating today.
Prayers for the repose of souls who have gone before.
Hmmm… looks like birdseed should be added to the shopping list.
The pond needs cleaning. The garage needs to be set up again. You know, if I sit here long enough, the list will become unmanageable.
Have an awesome day.

Happy Birthday Kathy D hope it’s an awesome day.
Remembering Dick M today may he rest in peace
Mulching is happening in the yard. I’m liking the way it looks. Bridal wreath shrubs have started flowering. They are so beautiful in full bloom. The pond, the porch, and the fountain need cleaning. It is a never-ending battle. I peruse the todo list knowing it is so long and we are so slow.
Sort of like repenting, we know our list of faults, sins, etc grows long, and we look at it and think oooh that will take too long, that one will be too painful, I want that one gone but I don’t want to do what I know God is going to want me to do. Jesus asked in the garden to let the cup pass Matt:26:39 And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. He then shouldered his duty and continued with God’s will. We wimp out. Today I pray to do what I know I must do without complaint or wimping out.

Headed south this morning,a few are going to see relatives and a couple of other drops along with a couple stops at the girls.
Need to be back before noon as I have a 1 o’clock.
Excellent weekend. A couple of unexpected things came up. All worked themselves out or will as time moves on.
Got to thinking about the choices we make in life. I don’t know about you, but I always seem to be a bit daring with little thought of “what could go wrong?”
I find, at times, little consideration is given to the long-range ramifications of my bold, hasty, emotion filled choices.
Which brings me to what is really on my mind… critical thinking. Does anyone teach that these days?

Greg & Kayla, the weather was outstanding, the homily very thought-provoking, fabulous food, great conversation. Pray for this couple as they begin their new life together.
Wondering? Do you consider your life as a witness to your commitment to Christ? I ask because the apostles and disciples did. Jesus told them in Acts 1:8 But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth. It was the last thing he said to them before he was taken up into heaven.
Have an awesome day. Go see Jesus.
Know you are prayed for.

From the Margin…To be ashamed is a virtue of men and women who are humble. It’s a virtue that helps prepare us for God’s forgiveness. Pope Francis
Our “mistakes”/or “shortcomings’ don’t define us, keep us from God’s love, or disqualify us from sharing the gospel. Stay open, hopeful, and positive when someone offers advice on how we can improve. Respond graciously, receive their advice, and take it to prayer. It could change your life. Accept your imperfections, embrace spiritual growth, and expect the Holy Spirit to continue to change you.
Alan & Anna M have a new son, Jonathan, 9# 10oz, I was very fortunate to bring them home yesterday.
Rehearsal dinner was a fun time. Seeing faces I hadn’t seen in ages and meeting people I’d never seen before. I’m looking forward to the day.
On another note, how’s it going? We’ve been so busy around here that we haven’t seen or spoken with many for some time. I’ve found the only thing I miss about FB is knowing what friends/family are doing. I could remedy that by dropping a line, however, in many instances I no longer have a snail mail address. Perhaps one day I will send a text asking for email and snail mail addresses updating my contact book. You could save me some time (if you are reading this) by sending your contact information to me so that I can update it.
Book...”The Catholic Family in the Modern World” by John A Hardon S.J. I purchased this book in 1991 when it came out. I’d been married for 17 years. Several years previous to the purchase I had the privilege of hearing Fr. Hardon speak in a Catholic Church in Iowa City, IA. This man’s talk changed my life. I began searching for more. When the book came out I had to have it. It changed the way I viewed marriage and children. It changed the way I view Mother Mary. In simple language, his talk and the book saved me from certain hell. The introduction sucked me in. I’ve read this book so many times the cover had to be taped on. Excerpts…(Introduction) “the survival of whole nations is at stake as we see family life disintegrating.” (p.9) “When we speak of the fall of man, we must remember this means not only the fall of man as an individual but the fall of man as a social being.” (p.36) “We can be only as much at peace with others as we are at peace within ourselves. We cannot give what we do hot have.” You can find this book in the Marian Catechist Bookstore at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, WI 54601, pbx# 608/782-0011. The last time I purchased it, the cost was around $4. If you purchase it online from a used book store you will pay triple that.
