It is going to be wild and crazy times on Nottingham Drive this weekend.
With Mom and Dad abroad in Spain it is going to be a house full of catastrophic chaos and ruthless rough housing. No, have no worries. While good times will be had, the house will stay standing.
Mom and Dad leave tonight.
Ann arrives Thursday night.
Drew arrives Friday afternoon.
Thom?
Who is ready???

No, I did not give up Blogging for lent.
It's just that things are moving right along at a pretty steady and routinized rate.
I saw Fr. Ron Gillis today. He's well.
I went to the pharmacy to pick up some refills. The good people at the pharmacy here in E-burg are well.
I did laundry today. Just in time.
I've had recent email correspondences with some college friends.
I participated in a small-group discussion on the Hispanic face of the new-evangelization in America. Hubo muy interesante.
Y, ya!

Remembering Saint Valentine !
At least two Saint Valentines are attributed to have been martyred on February 14 in the second half of the third century and buried on the Flaminian Way. "To die for Love! What could be more glorious?" To my Dearest husband Tom and my beloved children Andrew, Ellen, Ann, Thomas, Mary, James, Margaret and John Paul, may you grow in love with the author of Love.

... on the suffering of John Paul II
Zenit.org quotes Jean Vanier:
"The Pope is a man who suffers. He suffers physically, but I also think he suffers enormously in his heart. And, at the same time, there is in him something that is extraordinarily luminous and limpid. The Pope is the sign of what Christianity is.
"Today, humanity finds itself in a condition of particular poverty. Christians are often in conditions of poverty. Jesus asks each one of us, in the face of all the suffering that exists in the world, to believe that he is present and invites us to trust him, and to grow in that trust."
"Today the Pope, more than with any encyclical, or any other writing, is a sign of holiness with his presence,"
"Today the world does not need great 'athletes of God,' it needs men and women, like John Paul II, who accept the mystery of what they experience.
"St. Paul says: My strength is manifested in my weakness. This is precisely what the Pope is living today."
Oremus pro Beatisimo Papa nostro Ioanes Paulo!

Sweet Siblings Sunday Socials
Dear Family, as you know M & M are at the mercy of those who love them to have a life. So, let’s do it! Let’s give them a life! First we get organized, then we execute.
Here’s the concept:
Sundays is the best day to take them out, individually, for about a 4 hour stretch, preferably between 1:30pm and 5:30pm. With a little planning we could have them booked for months to come. M & M will be happy and have something to look forward to each week. We will be happy because we will be taking care of business and doing something for them. If we all work at it and include extended family and friends we mg
Here’s the concrete:
Commit to book Mary or Margaret for an 'outing' on Sunday afternoons as your schedule permits. I will be their social secretary so blog a booking by commenting or email me or open their social calendar on the desktop of the home computer.
The time will generally be about 1:30 to 5:30, e.g. Long enough for a picnic on the Mall, or a visit to the Monuments, or a stroll on the Potomac, or a drive in the Mountains
