My Niece - Miss Kate

My Niece - Miss Mary

It was Kate's big day on Sunday and she enjoyed every minute of it. It was tough for little Mary, but she got a new dress, shoes and a rosary bracelet, so things could have been worse. I told her it would be her turn in just two years. When we left the church Monsignor Chiodo asked her if she was next. "In two years, Father," she said. Priceless.

Hello Again

I've been swamped - figuratively and literally - and apologize for my long absence. I appreciate all the ideas generated from my request for ideas.

I was in Iowa last weekend and feel like I'm still drying out. It is a W-E-T spring back home. The fields, at least in my neck of the woods, are saturated. The ditches are more like moats. It's almost reminiscent of 1993, but not quite.

While home I read in the paper that Sen. Barak Hussein Obama took a jab at Senator Grassley while stumping in Waterloo. How bush league can this guy get? I could write a lot about this subject, but I have to run. Will be back with more thoughts.
