walking

I have been walking four miles every day this week except for yesterday. I attended a funeral; my first one so far this year. Sometimes they come in waves you know. This particular funeral was Catholic. I love their ceremony and music and even the incense. Earlier this morning I was called to sub tomorrow in third grade, one of my favorites but I had to decline. They're putting in my new kitchen cabinets and I want to be here!

so far this summer...

Three funerals and two baby showers. Memorials were given to:

1. Carmelite Monastery
2. Hospice  Compassus
3. a small Catholic church in Westphalia, Missouri    

Baby shower gifts:
