"One day when we are able to see the full midday light, we will know what value and what treasures our earthly sufferings have been that have made us gain our everlasting Homeland." St. Padre Pio

7 quick takes...midsummer edition
Summer is has been fun and relaxing for us. As we head toward the middle of summer, here are a few things we have done.
1. Learn the Rosary...just kidding. He likes the feeling of the Rosary and is gettng a feel of it in his hands. Sooner or later he will learn the prayers.
2. Going to baseball games with friends. We have gone to a few of the hometown team and watch my niece and nephews play t-ball. Usually hot and steamy, but fun to have a little bit of time at the ball park!
3. Support vocations....at the ballpark. Two of the diocese in our state had a softball game with the priest playing against each other. The proceeds of the the tickets went to the vocation funds in the diocese. It was great fun. I have taught with some of them, did retreats with some and had some as assistant pastors. Good clean fun.
4. Going to garage (rummage or yard) sales. No pictures of this, and I have already wrote about it. But we have gone to plenty and the big early summer season is winding down. I may or may not have gotten too many clothes....
5. Getting ready to go on vacation. My husband has been working quite a bit of overtime lately and we are looking forward to going with some of my extended family to Branson soon.
6. Trying to maintain going to daily Mass. We are blessed to be in walking distance to our church and summer days make it easier to do this.
7. Hang out with friends....especially teacher friends. Being a teacher for so many years, I have many teacher friends so summer is high time to see them.
Things I want to do as the summer goes on: read more and attempt to organize and tidy the house up. :)
