Check out the news story on Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church in Lahaina, Maui. Then go back in time and read the history of Our Lady of Victory.
It was lovely to have our niece “I”in for supper last evening. She will be off to college next week. Time flies.
The diningroom & front porch will be tackled today. Can’t waste this cool weather.

Test results are back. BP high during the night, not during the day. O2 level dipping to 67 during the night. Dr. consult regarding the next step today. Also, checking out the left ear. The drum is feeling odd, I must have a fluid buildup as it is draining. Tender canal. Goodness, the golden years are full of Dr. visits. I’ve seen them more in the last few months than in the last 20 yrs combined.
Watchman is headed to his forever home this morning. There are children there who will love him and play with him. I will miss his company.

August is definitely here. The hot, humid, kind like in my youth. Back then, no A/C at school. Some days were sweltering.
Today, I am home. Unless the vet has an opening. There is a plethora of things to do here.
The debate, if it can be called that… nope, not worth time time to type it out. I will however post this

We arrived home late last evening. Hot, tired, and grateful. Our pilgrimage to view the incorrupt body of Sr. Wilhelmina had ended. We had packed everything possible into this trip. My mind is sort of a jumbled pile of packages waiting to be sorted into some semblance of order.
Birthday greetings to my gdd Mallori.
I took this photo myself yesterday in the chapel at the Benedictine convent of Our Lady Queen of Apostles in Gower, MO. Sr was the foundress of this order of contemplative nuns. She died 4 yrs ago. Her body was exhumed to move it to a new location after construction.
Sr’s life can be read about in a book called “God’s Will”

The knees are a challenge this morning. I suppose it will be this way, so I offer up all my knee discomfort for the souls in Purgatory.
We are off to Gower,MO, to see the remains of Sr. Wilhelmina. It is going to be a hot and humid pilgrimage. Hopefully, this will lesson the line and wait time.
Watchman will spend time at J’s.

I’m putting this out there once again… GET RID OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME! It serves no good purpose any longer. Let us get back to the basics… SUN TIME. Where our bodies were made to be. In sync with nature’s way of marking time.
Many thanks for a real tastie supper last evening, goes to my neighbor B.
Wouldn’t it be nice if all politicians acted in the best interest of their constituents and the United States? Went to DC, worked hard, and retired after their terms expired instead of making a career out of it. The entire process has become a sham. It doesn’t have to be that way.
It seems power goes to people’s heads. Even here in our little village, the power seekers identify themselves with puffed up egos. Swaggering thru the marketplace with the signatures akin to prominence dancing in their head.
We humans have lost our humility. Which isn’t unusual considering that since the beginning, we have refused to practice that virtue. Most days, we refuse to acknowledge our superior abilities in some areas, are God-given. Therefore, allowing us to wrongfully believe we are entitled to our arrogant, prideful behaviors.
Of this, I am guilty. Daily, I choose to forget God’s superiority. Pray for me.
Know I am praying for you.

Did I mention they found nothing behind my knee or in my wrist. Apparently, the wrist is just swelling, and the 30-year lump is just the way things work. At least now I know.
The man leaves. Will return tomorrow night.
I have a rather large bunny under the front porch. Wonder how long he’s been there.
The boy is stopping in this morning. Will be good to see him.
Have a bit of office work to get done. Need to take someone over to her mother’s this morning. Have a Dr. Appt about 11. That will be my day. Well, except for the normal everyday stuff that needs doing.
Pondering a plethora of ideas whipping through my brain this morning. Upcoming garage sale and the moving of items from upstairs to out in the garage. First, the garage must be emptied to set up the tables. That will happen after we return from Gower, MO, on Wednesday.
Rambling, I know, old habit of mine.

Watchman has been out and done his thing. Now he’s using his sharp little claws to climb my back, who knew young puppies had claws to hang on. He has also found his voice. He barks and growls.
Today I wait, for my car to get 3 new tires. Then I’ll be new all round, including the spare. The new 4 wks ago that had a nail and was patched will become the spare. This brings me to those toy tires they call spares. I know, I know they said it was to give you more room. Horse pucky! It was to be able to downsize their expense while increasing yours. Those little things may get you to the closest service station while driving less than 35mph, then making you a road hazard and open to a driving under the speed limit ticket.
Yikes! I’m not liking that train of thought at all. However, with all the other downsizing (they say no price increase), one wonders. I mean, how could they think less in the package and keeping the price the same is anything other than a price increase?
Looking forward to the pilgrimage on Monday. We are feeling exceptionally Blest to experience this in our lifetime.
