I called Logitech and discovered that my “bluetooth” wasn’t on. I didn’t even know I had such a thing or that I had to turn it on; so now I am using my keyboard and it is so much easier.
Back to the update:
Saturday night I had the 5;30pm Mass and a short homily as we are still doing the Cardinal’s Appeal for part of the time. My homily was brief and to the point.
Sunday morning, I met with a few couples who are getting married and I had the baptism of a nice couple I married three years ago. It was great to see them and their families Please keep Thomas Vincent and all his family in your prayers. I then met Mary Beth and Vance at Clyde’s for llunch and then had the 5:30pm Mass again. Some short homily.
Monday, the 3rd, we had a lot of snow and I had to cancel dinner with the boys and reschedule it for the 31st. I did visit with Pat Horan Granados who was in from California. We went to grade school togethr.
On Tuesday, it snowed again and everything got cancelled.
On Wednesday, Ash Wednesday I had a full morning with Mass and ashes. I also visit a teenager in the hospital. Please pray for him and this family. That night I went to Baltimore for the wake for Bernadette Fowler, she was Monsignor Dade’s niece and we were often at her home for great meals and cards. Please keep her, her children, siblings, and many friends in your prayers.
On Thursday, Jerry joined me for the funeral at St. Ursula’s and after the internment, I headed home to pack. I just couldn’t get my act together so I went to bed.
On Friday, the 6th, I finally had the men fill my car with lots of boxes and shirts on hangers and headed out for Chicago. It was a sunny day and I drove over 400 miles – stopping to exercise my legs, etc. Around 8pm, i pulled into a motel about 30 mile past Ohio. I went to b ed quickly.
On Saturday, I woke to discover about 2 inches of snow on the car. Had breakfast and headed for Chicago (about 120 miles). Drove through snow all the way to the skyway. Got into Pat’s around 11am, I forgot that it’s a different time zone. We went out to supper with Jose and I was glad to get to bed
I’m so sorry about Bernadette. She was a wonderful person. If my memory serves correctly, they were a real card playing group. She would’ve loved it up here.
Still planning to geet to Maryland next week. We’ll see since all the US bad storms keep tracking right on up converting to lots of snow and ice and high winds up here. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw DC on St. Patrick’s Day. I’m going to have to bring some Newfoundland layers with me. Its good knowing where ya been to via the blog. Peace – Pat and Oona
