Fascinating article

from a wonderful
new blog...

on Our Lady of Good Counsel.

Dear Nightfly...

Are you absolutely
sure that it's only 23%?

Please, for us oldsters
who are fans, I have a
request...

Would you please
consider large print?

Thank you!

:)! ! !

Well, am back from
the conference/school
event...

It was wonderful- I
actually got to speak
with a couple of my
heroes!

(Hint: One of them is
mine & my mom's favor-
ite biographer, who most
kindly signed a book for
her:)

The other gentleman not
only really nice, but very
funny!

Met others of all ages- a lot
of young people- all friendly
and helpful- plus I got to
pester the host in the hallway,
which was a lot of fun, poor
guy!

Understandably, not every-
one that will attend the June
conference could make it-
but this was still an amazing
event!

The cell phone rang at the
wrong times- but I did tell
'Better-half' to call if he had
to. He assisted with school
events- and had a great
time, too!

A most blessed time for
us all!

An Easter Poem

A gift for us from Barbara
Malley, who kindly granted
me permission to post the
poetry of her mother, an
award-winning poet. I have
posted before that the poem,
"The Laughing Willow," is one
of my favorites from childhood.
It will be found in a new book
for children that Ms. Malley is
working on called, "Read Me a
Rhyme," which will be available
later this year.

What follows is a poem about
another tree, a new 'old favor-
ite'...

And so touchingly beautiful, I
believe even the happy willow
would finally weep...

Shhh...

Don't tell my mom she's
getting these for Mother's
Day!

Found them at
CatholicPosters.

(They're two of her
favorites :)
