    I guess I'm late again :hmm. It's been a frustrating week. I began working in the basement organizing the tools, but didn't get very far because there are so many odds and ends. I tried to work on a video about my Rome trip but have experienced continuous technical difficulties. I drove all...

    I'm late. :caf Let's see. I have no recollection of Tuesday. Wednesday I went out to lunch with a friend. Thursday was my dad's birthday. We went that night to see the town's fireworks. They only lasted ten minutes and weren't anything spectacular. Friday we celebrated Independence Day. In the...

    I was far too tired to write Sunday, so here is the post for this lovely Monday morning: All the rest of the week I worked in the basement; I donated, trashed, or packed every miscellaneous object in that space. The end result? 40 boxes and no clutter. Of course, I did need the ink cartridges...

    The last few days have been...not busy, but full. Monday I spent most of the day working on a dress. In the late evening, I saw that one of the ducklings wasn't standing up. (S)he died in my hands around midnight. I went out and sat on the front steps for a couple hours. Next morning I buried...

    I've had to restart this darn post over three times because an ad keeps taking over my screen! :rant Now that I've finished the Rome trip, should I tell about my New York City experience, or get back to chickens? I've been cleaning the basement, trying to minimize things. I've finally thrown...

    I have news...but first let me wrap up the Rome trip. This is Day Ten. I woke up that morning with a bad sore throat. It was hard to talk, but I took some peppermints that I'd brought along. Why, I can't remember, but they helped ease the pain. Most of us went to church, and then we collected...

    I didn't get around to writing on Wednesday...it's been busy here as we try to clean this place up to maybe rent out this fall. Anyhow, this is Day Eight of the Rome trip (it's actually Day Nine, but when I started writing this series I forgot to account for the day we left the USA). We woke up...

    I decided I'd write tonight because there's a good chance I won't be able to access my computer tomorrow. Let's see...Day Seven. In the morning we went to mass in the little chapel, then walked down to the town square to wait for our bus. The guide said we could go shopping if we stayed within...

    Ok, where did I leave off? The memory is quickly becoming blurred and details are being forgotten. Good thing I'm writing this down. Day Six. We're staying at the monastery in Assisi. We got up early in the morning and had mass in a tiny crypt under the Franciscan monastery founded by St...

    Just a quick update to let you know I haven’t died yet… Sunday I was in Los Angeles all day, and too tired to write, and tonight I am in a hotel in Las Vegas because we are flying home tomorrow. I will continue the Rome trip on Sunday :). I’m not sure. They had me do an observation at the...

    Day Five of the Rome trip...but before I start, let me update you on what's going on here in California. Sunday we went to church and then picked up a rental car for me. I went to a hotel and checked in after some difficulty, and my family went home. The next day I had an interview and...

    I'm out in California again - flew out here on Wednesday (has it only been four days?!) - so I didn't have time to post about our adventures in Rome Day Four. I'm glad I'm writing this all down here because the details are quickly fading, and even though I brought my diary, I didn't have the...

    I'm sure y'all saw that we have a new Pope! I was missing Pope Francis but have loved our new Holy Father from the time he stepped out onto the balcony. A lady in our group chat from the Rome trip texted us WHITE SMOKE! while I was driving to a doctor's appointment with my family. Thankfully we...

    I was thinking maybe y'all will find this trip to be more Catholic than would make you comfortable? Most of it is about the churches we visited and all (especially the pictures). If you want me to move on, let me know :). If there are no objections, each post will cover one day on the trip. So...

    Well, I am home. There is so much to say I don't know where to begin, and I've told some stories so many times I can't remember what I have or have not said. Since nothing is going on with the chickens, I guess I will just post a little bit each time, so as not to overwhelm everyone. If it gets...

    Ok, real quickly I wanted to update. This is my last night in Rome before heading to another city in Italy. Rome is not what I expected. St Peter’s is very nice. I love it there, especially in the evening. I stand out in the Square and pray. I’ll write all about it when I get home ! I have...

    I’m sitting in the waiting area of Gate B49 as I write this. You can see our airplane to the left. I am flying to Rome with a group from my local parish. We are going to attend the funeral of Pope Francis. We were originally going to go to the canonization of Carlos Acutis, but that is canceled...

    Happy Easter! It's been quite busy because of the Triduum and we've had church with a full choir every evening. Last night we had Easter Vigil and halfway through, a violent unexpected thunderstorm knocked down multiple trees, a row of telephone poles, and several electrical wires. We lost...

    Well, today we said goodbye to a few more of Eva's friends... Y'all know (I think?) that I've put my whole flock up for sale. That listing has been sitting there since last last September, and then a few days ago someone contacted me; they wanted a few hens. I ended up selling Jenny, Vivienne...
