All PostsCousin Camp in Winter Park, Summer 2015I would have loved to have been able to be there and enjoy seeing them all together. I hope they continue to enjoy each other's company as they grow up.

After the Ball

I wonder what she's thinking... Not many good shots from this year's dance recital. The lighting is difficult, to say the least. But, I do like this one.

OLLI: Writing our lives

The is the 3rd or 4th time round that I have taken part in the "Writing Our Lives" class offer through our local OLLI@Auburn organization (Osher Lifelong Learners Institute at Auburn). I'm just a beginner! The class is filled with people who have been there for many...

East of Katrina

The slow motion train wreck of a hurricane has passed west of us. Two tornado warnings this afternoon sent us all into an interior hall in the library. It didn't hit so close, but the funnel clouds have been hanging around the neighborhood all afternoon. The air is...

North East of Katrina

We've been watching the weather channel a lot today. As this monster storm approaches landfall it's rather like watching a train wreck in slow motion. This morning as I was about to get up John had already turned on the weather channel. I knew something was up when I...

25th Anniversary Celebration

25 years ago the Cursillo movement came to life in the Archdiocese of Mobile. That was after I left Auburn at the end of my undergraduate career, and before I returned as wife of a graduate student and mother of 2, with a 3rd on the way. But the seeds were being...

The pups are moving on

The pups are moving on

It's been interesting, this process of sending my pups away to new homes. I have one left, not yet spoken for. Grazie (named after her mama Grace) has gone home with a new family. I should be so lucky as to have a family to love me like these folks love her. Wow! This...

Puppies – almost 2 weeks

All 7 pups seem to be doing just grand - like little, plump sausages that sometimes wiggle and squeal. Mama Grace is still doing the Mama thing so well, while coming back around to the lovely dog who runs to the door to greet me at lunch and at night. By the weekend,...

Puppies

Puppies are born pretty helpless: their eyes won't open for 2 weeks, their ears won't open for 4. But, they can smell Mama and they know how to eat. I tried to take pictures, but they are so tiny and black (and Mama Grace is black as well) - so that will have to wait....

New Year’s Resolutions – Maybe

OK - so, my resolution wrt this site is to post more often! Like once a day add something that has crossed my mind. Assignment: Find 5 things to be grateful for.... Response: A beautiful anniversary card from John The pleasure of a small, very pregnant dog when I do...

Schnauzers and Howling Wolves

NOVA Online | Wild Wolves | What's in a Howl Listen up! and let the dog(s) listen with you. Interesting: Grace and Charlie respond to the Lonesome Howl and the Wolf Pup howl by chiming in and singing along. However, play the Agressive Male (warning off others), and...

Journey to myself

  • Luke 17:11-19 offers us the story where 10 lepers ask Jesus for help. All 10 are cured of leprosy as they were headed out to follow his instruction to present themselves to the priests. Only one, a Samaritan (foreigner, not a chosen person) turns back to say “Thank you.” Jesus tells this one that his […]
  • This Sunday the Catholic Church (at least in the US) celebrates the feast of Christ the King. Interesting how the readings for mass focus on shepherds and sheep and goats. Even the Psalm is Psalm 23 (The Lord is my shepherd.) If you want to read them yourself, look here: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112623.cfm The Gospel is Mt […]
  • What about this Sunday’s Gospel hit me? For reference, read below. Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18,15-20. 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 […]
