Again, I got home late last night and went right to bed. So this will be a “twoffer” also.
On Monday, I had hoped to have the 6:30am Mass so that I would have the rest of the day free; but when the final schedule came, I had the 11:00am Mass. Without much problem, everyone adapted and D & S came to the Mass and afterwards we pick up Joan and headed up to Betty’s. We got there around 1:30 and had a delightful visit at Betty’s apartment for about two hours. Then we toured Shrewsbury, Pa and then we went to supper at the Mason/Dixson Diner, one of my favorite places in the town. Mary Elizabeth Falcone, Betty’s daughter and her two daughters, AnnMarie and Theresa joined us and we had great food and a nice visit. Afterwards, we went up to the Falcone’s house and had an extended visit. We left around 7:30 and I got home around 9:15. Dan and Stephanie had left their car here, so we had a nice farewell in the parking lot. They seemed to enjoy the visit – even with the heat. And I know that I and everyone they saw enjoyed them being up here. They went back to the hotel and were suppose to leave today around 10:00am. They might stop somewhere on the road so I won’t call them for a couple of days. I really enjoyed them being here.
I went to bed early and got up around 9am today. I went over to the center and had the 11:00am Mass. Today’s feast is a bishop from the earliest days of the church and because he liked to write he is often a source of information for church historians. I love him.
I tried to clear up my desk and did get down to wood on part of it. I joined Frs Ron and Percy for lunch at 12:30. I am trying to get back in the habit of eating at the table rather than out on the road. it is fun to be with them and then I take a nap.
I went back to the center around 3pm and stayed till 6. Fr. Ron has gone to his mom’s, so it was just Percy and I for supper. Humberto has returned from vacation and he made great steaks on the grill. So good, I even ate the brocolli!
Now, I am upstairs and watching Jeopardy. I’ll read for awhile and then go to bed. I have the 8:00am tomorrow and then I’m going down to Maggie’s. We are doing some work on the St. Martin’s reunion and I will stay the night as I have the 8:00am on Thursday. I might not write again till Thursday.
I, too, enjoyed D & S visit. Pop made it thru surgery ok.
Stephanie & I had a wonderful time visiting with everyone. We are now in ashville nc and since we arrived late in the day, have decided to stay an extra night. Kass, we are so glad your dad is doing fine.
