Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake

For years my brother and I competed for the honor of "Best Carrot Cake." Eventually I gave in and told him "You win! You make the Thanksgiving carrot cake from now to eternity." He tried to get me to take on that task after a few years, but I declined. I must say, I...

Camera time and old friends

Camera time and old friends

Back in early late May/early June a friend from high school (ok, so we've probably known each other since elementary school dance classes) came for a few days to visit. We entertained ourselves one morning by wandering around with our cameras -- love this waterfall!...

On to Philly and Longwood Gardens

After saying farewell to Marty, and Bruce and Gene (not pictured anywhere) and departing Emmitsburg we proceeded on to Philadelphia (Germantown). Why I took no pictures in Germantown, I have no idea. But, we ventured south to visit Longwood Gardens.

Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he […]
  • Sunday past was Pentecost. Fifty days after Easter, the Roman [Catholic] Church, among others, celebrates the gift of the Holy Spirit as she descended upon the apostles and gave them a power to speak in all languages. To reach all people with the Good News. This Spirit moves and animates in all sorts of interesting […]
  • This idea of seeing and accepting reality has been following me around of late. It nudges me and it challenges me. Somehow, I’m pretty sure it will be a recurring theme so I’d best just learn to deal with it. Today’s Gospel reading was LONG… we got the whole story it seems. If you want […]
