Preparations are busily

underway for
the 25th annual
ACS Conference:)

For those of us who
cannot attend, tapes
of the speakers will be
available later this year
for purchase...

& there's a possibility
that Mrs. Brown might
be one of the speakers!

I've said it before-

Can't wait, Mrs. Brown!

But will:)

Where I escape to

for a moment's R & R...

To Michelle the Mermaid's
lovely blog from down
undah-

(& I certainly wouldn't
mind acquiring that o-so-
charming accent while
I'm there:)

Hope these kitties

recover from their
afflictions...

They had a nasty
reaction to a rather
scary (f)rite!

On starshine

*
& mathematics... *

Two of my 'strong'
subjects!

Found & shared with *
us by Thomas:)

& whilst I was there,
I stumbled across this *
interesting, "Interview
with Da Vinci."

Congratulations!

to Terry Nelson from

Rome-ing Catholics

&

Abbey-Roads.


One of Terry's posts
was featured at the
National Catholic
Register's Blog Watch.


& many thanks to Eric
Scheske at
The Daily Eudemon
for making the
recommendation.

Another excellent post

from Dawn, with a very
important link to an
online petition...

Better-half did a double-take

when he saw this story
on-line!

So, that explains this
morning's headache
after yesterday's
cherry-dip! :p

*hic!

If you want a good laugh...

read today's entry
@
Chesterton and Friends
on the Chesterton-Shaw
Debates...

I have a soft spot in my
heart (or is it my head?)
for curmudgeons. It looks
like Mr. George Bernard
Shaw might easily fall into
that category- (or at least
under my understanding
of that word's definition).

I didn't link to the specific
post, as there may be more
to come later today-

So stay tuned:)

Geez, I hope I wasn't...

rude!

The first two entries...

over at
Chesterton and Friends,
don't disappoint!

It's a very nice way
to honor the big guy-
& the team over there
writes very well...

Today is also...

G. K. Chesterton's
132nd birthday-


Eric Scheske reports that
Chesterton and Friends
will be posting a "literary
calendar" between today
and June 14th- the day
Chesterton died in 1936.

The topics look pretty
interesting... (link)

Today we remember...

those who gave their
lives for our country.

Could it be...?

Found a pic of a puppy
that bears an uncanny
resemblance to the pooch
on a mug I recently
purchased... (link)

Except for maybe those

incredibly blue eyes! (link:)

I've always liked

Erma Bombeck-

Thomas from
Your Ever Well-Wisher
posted a very interesting
article about her on his,
thankfully, very

large print blog:)

Chestertonian Dawn Eden

has provided some
wonderful links to the
gentleman who first
recommended GKC to
her years ago...

On the one site, scroll
down for the article on
Chesterton. Directly below
is another good article on
Dickens, who is coincident-
ally the subject of this year's
annual Chesterton conference.

Another charming story...

an amazing
"Wizard's tale"...

Have decided to

opine a bit on my own
blog for a change.

Do not particularly care
to engage in conversa-
tion with one of my
favorite blogger's regu-
lars...

And it's not like this
blogger needs my 'help'
either- a week or so ago
she handled one commen-
ter ably- this person will
not accept anyone's faith-
or should I say the Faith
that won't let her do as she
wants- as being "rational."

Now she's "rationalizing"
her "do-as-you-want-it's-
allright-with-me" position.
Literally using the word
"rational," she thinks...
rationally.

I was over there recently.
I don't have the wherewith-
al on this particular evening
to speak rationally with her.
But in my opinion, just the
fact that she is over on this
particular blogger's blog is
a very good thing- the Holy
Spirit is welcome there...

& she might start listening.

Congratulations

Do you think that maybe

"Clock Day"...

messed her all up?

Thank you!

Some good reads...

The always-(very)
interesting Terry from
Rome-ing Catholics,
his work blog through
The Leaflet Missal Company,
also has his own blog,
Abbey-Roads, which is now
linked to the right & a must-
read for me.

Dawn, the mighty word
warrior(ess:), alternately
posts heartbreaking stories,
miraculous occurrences,
and stuff that raises your
blood pressure (*sigh-
she'll probably be blessed
with a rant from me today)

& Eric Scheske posted this,
again, raising my blood
pressure...

Thankfully, I did remember
this a.m.- to renew my mem-
bership to this place...

(Click on the heart:)

Must be some kind of record...

Two in one month!


(Great job:)

Lectio continuum

Terry writes of
revealed truth in
the Gospel, and how
it applies to the con-
tinued persecution of
Christ and His Church.

A must-read review

of a gotta-see movie.

Mr. Bingley reports
on Flight 93 over at
The Coalition of
the Swilling, and
provides a link to
what he saw in
NYC that day.

Happy Birthday! ! !

For your birthday,
I thought a trip to
Hawaii might be
nice...

...

I'll let you know
when I get back.

PS

Click on the little
pix in the corner-

I've started adding
links that go to differ-
ent places of interest,
per posting...

& have a great b'day!!!

Love, Your Sister:)

Eric Scheske

gets to the point
regarding TDVC...

Read:
The Review I've Been
Waiting For...

From:
The Daily Eudemon.

God's laws

don't seem to concern
some people, so I'm
not always surprised
when man's laws are
disregarded.

Dawn Eden from
The Dawn Patrol
continues to inform
us of tax-supported
Planned Parenthood's
poor choices...

Which leads me to
wonder-

Why does this organi-
zation, whose ultimate
goals will 'a-parently'
put them out of business,
get tax $$$ in the first
place?

Two bad!

Regarding the book
& movie...

Hollywood, the leader
of the "they're-so-smart-
they're-stupid" crowd,
has hopefully learned its
lesson, the moral of which
is:

You just don't diss God and
the TRUE Bride of Christ,
the Catholic Church...

Learn from the guffaws
that the movie has met
with- & DON'T FORGET to
apologize to the Lord and
His faithful servants, the
ones you felt so free to
mock...

Amen.

'totally' new additions at

Eric and Joe have added

posting on a daily basis.

A really good blog just
got better!

More excellent commentary
from Terry Nelson...

There really is a war

However, this is a recom-
mendation that you take a
look-see at one of his ads...
the one for the

&, should you decide that
you're interested in a sub-

that Eric sent you.

LOL!!!

He was imo every bit as

Does Taylor strongly
