Now to Sunday - Go out and find the 99 and leave the one behind - Pope Francis

So wonderful to be here in the coolness of our Big Lake - it is the year of the misquitoes  here, and we are doing what we have to for that battle - there must be more water and perfect conditions for them.  We are adjusting to a house full of 12 and half of them children.  Except for asking that the organ be shut off on a regular basis... without the TV, it is a lot of visiting, praying, eating, playing, and grandma time holding the little ones while their parents are busy with meals, etc.  So far the girls are making the meals and grandma does the clean up.  Mass was good with Mary looking for her patron saint and finding her in the windows and the statue in the front of Church.  We both felt sad when we saw the Therese window.  Sigh....  We all have to keep a closer eye on the little ones because we don't have T here to watch them and take care that they don't fall down the stairs etc!
We miss you T and family so much!  But we are grateful that Rose is good on the stairs up and down to the loft.  She took two steps to dad in the back of Church after mass, getting ready to walk next Sunday for us...
