Retreat with Rolheiser

A great weekend retreat @ King's House in Buffalo with Fr. Ron Rolheiser,OMI, with whom we have spent previous Advents. If you would like to know him better, I suggest his book, entitled "Holy Longing". The retreat was cut short by concern about travel, rain and ice.

Thanksgiving in Overland Park

Quite a group: all B&P's children and children-inlaws, that's now the10uvus and Cassie and us. We are now home plus more weight than we left with!!! Wonderful time was had by all. Amazing cookery and incredible speed with washing & drying of the "empty" dishes.

"Quantam of Solace"

Walked to BlockE yesterday afternoon to see this. We should have read the plot summary beforehand. Still don't understand it but enjoyed the "activity" on land, sea and in the air. I love Judi Dench.

"Happy-go-lucky"

Went with Dorns to see this @ Edina Landmark. You may skip it. It could have used sub-titles. Dinner followed @ Minikahda. By the time we had gotten home the movie was a thing of the past.

Finally, Election Day

Long line outside our polling place. May they have the patience to wait to vote. I wonder if our absentees ballots have been counted already.

Parents weekend @ Yale w/Annie

We're still basking in the glow and memories of our long weekend with Annie in New Haven. She was a great tour guide and provider of entertainment. We especially enjoyed meeting her many friends and getting a peek into her collegiate life.

Fr Liekhus now a pastor

We went to ten o'clock mass yesterday @ Saint John the Evangelist in Interlachen Park for the installation of Father Jim by Father Bob Schwartz, Dean and pastor of OLG. A glorious day and a wonderful ocasion.
