It has been a busy and tiring week, but all in all it has been a good one. I wish I could remember to blog a little each day. I don't know why the days always get away without my notice.
Well, let's see. On Monday I had a very busy day starting with Mass and then home for my bible study. It is really amazing digging into Romans! We are so blest to have scripture to walk through as we go through life!
Tim and I have been looking at properties in Tennessee, just for fun. We have always loved driving through there and I said that if I was ever going to leave this area it would be to go to that beautiful state. It has so much going for it! It's also halfway between Texas and Maryland, which would be handy. I don't know if or when we would go, but that is the Holy Spirit's business. He always lets us know what the next step is, and He has been prompting us to look and consider it, so that is enough for now.
I am still going to be busy with my school, Tim will be working for a few years yet, and the guys all need to get set up.
Tuesday was a day for cleaning and cooking around here. Lilly came down each day this week and I think it was a good thing for her! We also went to Fr Henry's, took him out for dinner, and set up all his Nativities. It was so nice to get it done this year, since we couldn't even get in to see him last year. He is having surgery this week, and I hope it all goes well.
Wednesday I went to mass and then spent the day with my books and getting ready for our Revelation study group. Illness crept in and it turned out that we only had one other couple here. Still we enjoyed the study as usual.
Thursday was wild and wonderful. The Holy Spirit gave us an awesome opportunity to help out with an evening of Adoration and worship at St Patrick's. Our dear Corrie Marie had arranged a year ago to have The Vigil Project come and do an evening of Adoration led by them. So. There were a few things to do to get the whole thing to come together. Like, the group was traveling in a bus and needed a place to take showers and do laundry. So Fr Francis was asking for help and we said that we would be happy to! At around 12:00 I went down to meet Corrie and picked up a load of stuff from Target. Then at 3:00 I went to the bus and got the first of the group to come to our house and shower. We ran then back and forth for most of the afternoon. Two of the guys accompanied me to La Cucina to pick up their dinner, and then I went to the hall to sell merchandise for the group. The Adoration experience was just beautiful. The music was so wonderful and Jesus was there so it was just perfect. I was exhausted, but so happy!
Yesterday, Friday, was very nice. We have had a chilly but sunny week, and that has been great. I went to Mass and then I had to head to the dentist for a rebuild on a crown that needed replacing. Dr Carr is really a great dentist and I am glad to have that behind me. I will get the permanent one on the 21st. Merry Christmas to me. It feels a lot better than it did, so I am happy with it. After that I went up to see Jennie and she gave me a piano lesson. I am plunking away every day, but I think I am making a little progress.
We had a quiet evening and I went to bed a bit early because I had to get up and get to Freedom Hills. Today was the last day for a long time. I am going to Texas and will be gone for the next two Saturdays, and Lisa will be spending a few months in the Bahamas!
Lilly and Ivy had pictures done today and these are some that Nina took. So nice!
I am excited about going to Texas, and it is Paul's last week before he comes home for Christmas break. We will see the family down there and celebrate Max and Miles' birthdays!
I got Tim's Christmas present today. I am so excited! We played Scrabble for a while tonight, but I was so tired that I just couldn't think. Time to head for bed!
