Some humor for your day

March 26, 2009 by Kathy 1 Comment

I first saw Charlie Chaplin’s MODERN TIMES in college (in a history class, actually) and I was the ONLY ONE who thought it was funny. Honestly. The rest of the class was completely zoned out, and those that were watching failed to see even the slightest bit of humor in it. Pity, because this scene … [Read more…]

The Annunciation, part two!

March 26, 2009 by Kathy 1 Comment

We did it! Grace got into everything (as always), but we persevered! This is something I used to do all the time when I was younger. I would take boxes and make 3D scenes of Bible stories. The kids thought this was a GREAT idea and had a blast making their versions of the Annunciation. … [Read more…]

Feast of the Annunciation

(19th century painting by Mikhail Nesterov) Edit: I had picked this picture out BEFORE I saw that Faith and Family had this one on their blogsite too. Darn. I wanted to be different! Oh well. It’s still a beautiful painting! One of the joys of the Catholic Faith for me is that there is always … [Read more…]

Never lost.

Looking back on it, it was a conversation tailored just for me. Ever have one of those? A few weeks ago, Christopher had sat down on the couch with me to have one of those wonderful Mommy/son sort of talks — the kind where you snuggle together and just enjoy each other’s company. During our conversation, he … [Read more…]

I didn’t get a chance to take pictures of the old office (the way it originally was) before dh started tearing it apart, but I wanted you to get a chance to see a small portion of the incredible office my dh built several years ago. I loved it! It was warm and cozy and … [Read more…]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

March 17, 2009 by Kathy 1 Comment

My Dad’s side of the family is as Irish as they come — we came over in 1847 during the Great Potato Famine, settled in New York, and dealt with all the prejudices and hostilities over here (NINA, anyone?) just as countless millions did. Quiet, hardworking, devout Catholics. That is my heritage, and I am … [Read more…]
