Another picture from school. Pope John Paul gave us so many beautiful writings on the beauty and dignity of women, and these are some of the most beautiful women! Thank you Papa JPII!
For the past two days it has been wet in the morning. Rain, and more rain, but then not bad for the rest of the day. Yesterday was gloomy in the morning and pouring, but it did clear up and I was able to get Cora out for a walk.
I have been going through the storage for the past couple of days. I have been trying to lighten the load around here a bit. I got rid of a lot of blankets and just extra stuff that we don't need any more. I took a big load to Goodwill yesterday and then will do another tomorrow I think. I have to ask the kids about some of the stuff. There are some things in bins, and some toys that they may want to hang onto. If not I will donate them. I think they mostly have the things that they want to save. I have a few boxes of Brendan's stuff and Paul has a roomful, but he's going to be here for a bit.
I took a day today to fast from things that distract me. I got a lot of really good reading done! I also caught up in email and made a couple of appointments. I invited our friends over for dinner tomorrow night, so I have to get out and buy some salmon and a few other things tomorrow. Should be a lot of fun! Paul will be here and I think that we will play some cards if they are interested.
I have been doing some really heavy reading lately, but it is helping me to understand some of the things that have been weighing on me. I think it will be a good fit for Spiritual Direction as well.
Talked to Dad and he is getting more and more excited about a move to Tennessee. I think he is going to be ready quite a while before we are though. He is traveling pretty light these days. He may go down in the Fall and find a place to rent and feel the place out. If he likes the area he may buy a place. It's pretty affordable there, compared to where he is!
Tim bought us dinner tonight. I had a really good salad and he had meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Paul had a Philly cheesesteak, his favorite from Pat's.
I think that I will be hitting the sack early tonight! I am so tired!
