What a day

Not only was the day good but the afternoon was fantastic. Katie had a home softball game, which she has not had in a week. She played center field and made an awesome catch. Then I went down the hill to watch Connor play in a home tennis match which he has not done in a week. He did great. His hits have improved so much. The whole time Keera kept herself busy riding her bike and playing wih other kids. Then I dropped Keera at the YMCA for kids night out, which she loves. I went across the street to watch Brendan and bob play softball together. Wow are they good. Bob is still trying to be young by running on a ball that should have kept him at second.  When he reached third base the third baseman was waiting for him with the ball so he decided he should go back to second. Most 48 year olds would not have been safe, but he was. And Brendan just hits the ball so hard and runs so fast. Nice to be 18 again, physically. It was a perfect day. What more could I ask for than watchingy beautiful family do great things. I am so blessed!

A call

I went to mass last week to be a Eucharistic Minister.  The lectors did not show up (and there was only one other EM with me), so I offered to read.  I told Father I had been a lector years ago.  So in the back of the church, I practiced real quick before I went up.  I guess when God calls....we answer.....and it was really fun to do it again.  So....if women can do all that in one mass, why is it they can't be deacons or priests?  I guess that is yet to come.

"Barn" is open

Obviously Spring has Sprung....the last two weekends Brendan has had friends sleep over above the garage - the barn.  This weekend Brendan is having friends over from school, above the garage...."Dad, these are big guys who will  help set up the pool table."  A 600+ lb pool table). Katie has plans to have friends  sleep over on Saturday and Bob has planned a pizza party for Connor's basketball team on Saturday, above the garage....I think I should start charging a fee for this place!  It's like having a glorified tree house to hang out in.

The feeling of reading a good book

I just listed a new book in my book section, Handle with Care , by Jodi Picoult. It was a long read, and it took me awhile to get into it, but that was more me than the book. It is very well written and the story is incredible. The reason I am blogging about it - I realized yesterday, as I went through like at least 200 pages, every minute I could pick the book up, that a good book is like a friend....once you get into it, you feel like you are a part of it and you have to know the outcome of what is going to happen to those characters who have grown on you. The power of a good book is amazing-when you can't put it down for anything.....unless your four year old says, "Mommy, I want attention." (Even then, guilt ridden, Irish CAtholic that I am....I thought..."I already gave you attention today in many ways....this is my time." Wow-a good book almost succeeding at overcoming the power of my guilt-amazing.)
