Great End to Summer!

Summer is ending! The air outside is delightful still at 10:00 pm, cooling off the house. Boxes are still scattered here and there, but mostly the house is set up. Backyard is gorgeous, with pictures coming (as soon as I find where the camera cord was put.) And school is starting.
As great a summer as it was, it was my busiest ever, and for most of it I couldn't find my camera battery, so I'm just the opposite of my daughter Sarah's! (see potenttates@blogspot.com for views of some of our adventures)
It ended on a very high note, with a weekend- fully packed 3 days of the Catholic Charismatic Convention (now called Southern California Catholic Renewal)
I am blessed with a Mom with amazing simple faith and a huge, generous heart. A mom so unassuming that she blesses people all the time and speaks words of wisdom so naturally that she feels she's just stating the obvious. (Course, sometimes she does that, too.) She's like a goldmine; you just have to look around through the ordinary earth, and you'll see these sparkling precious treasures. Being in that Spirit-filled atmosphere with such a loving and open lady is, well, probably like being in heaven.
Thanks, Mom! I love you!

I love your mom! She IS an amazing woman and her love comes out of her heart so freely and naturally and is so very contagious! She reminds me of my Pop! It says alot about the way they were raised. God bless our parents!
