Today was a very easy but quick day for me. I was over at the office by 9am and trying to get more paperwork done. Patrick Mullen came and helped me with my computer. Last year, when we working on the reunion for Riverdale, he helped me to get a copy of each email that Marie got. It worked very well because it helped us to get information and plans organized for the reunion. I’ve been wanting to get that process changed but couldn’t remember how we did. In just a few moments, he was able to get us into Marie’s mail and change the forward command. When I got into her mail, I realized that Marie hadn’t been “on line” for a long time. She had over 700 emails. So I started deleting those I knew she couldn’t care about. There are now 48 so she can go in and look at those herself. She’ll be a Maggie’s next week and we’ll try to re-educate her on how to go on line.
Kind of around my deleting things, I had the 11am Mass, I met with a couple whom I am marrying next week, I took Communion to the very nice man I met the other day, and then I met Marie in Queenstown for lunch and explained about the computer. She was busy herself all morning going to Trinity college and getting names of Sisters of Notre Dame who taught at St. Martin’s. She also went down to the rectory at St. Martin’s. She has been working on a reunion at St. Matin’s for September 18th. She is very good at callling people and getting new addresses and connecting with people. God love her.
So after lunch, I came home and worked again on the computer. Went to supper with Frs. Ron & Percy. And have been playing here on my computer in my room on genealogy.
I am giving a retreat this weekend over in Virginia at the Dominican retreat house. It is for women and my first experience of giving a weekend retreat to women. So please keep me and the ladies in your prayers. I won’t have my computer and on Friday I will concelebrate the opening Mass for school and then go to hear confessions at Knollwood and then head out to Virginia. So you probably won’t hear from me till Sunday or Monday. Have a great weekend.
Enjoy your weekend with the “girls!”
