Writing

I have skipped blogging from time to time, but this time I just can't get myself writing.  I have only blogged about three times this year.  There is so much I would like to write down so I can read it years from now and yet it is so fresh and new that I cannot get myself to write it down.

So I think I will go to superficial stuff for now...good memories in the making.  Here are some of the things we did during Spring vacation this year:  It started with Keera having a list of what she wanted to do during the week.  We added some and pretty much accomplished almost all of them.  We drew and colored a mural of Yalesville (including the VEt down the road, Subway and the Laundry shop); we went to the beach; we went to Barnes and Noble (and bought cheesecake there too).  Fun stuff.  The two books I am currently reading are also on here...shout out to Aunt K. for the one book about Enough and the I picked up the other one today...very similar in nature as the other one....all good reads!

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.)
