Lucy àu Louvre
She IS a piece of work.

“She’s still a puppy”.

How many times have I told myself that excuse?

“She’ll settle down . . . by the time she’s five."

Two down, today; three to go. (is that semi-colon worthy St. Eph?)

La Lucy is two today. The world joins me in singing her Stolat. Brian is in Singapore so he will miss her special (and unusually pre-Lenten) day. I can’t get out to get her a cake, so an extra cookie will have to do. The bad news is, it’s too hard to stick in a candle. The good news is, she would just eat the flaming stick anyway.

Happy Birthday to the grrl who makes me smile through it all.

Happy Birthday Santa Lucia Fernanda Brockowski.

And many many more.

While the Cat's Away

Saint Joseph of Cupertino.
Patron saint of fliers, for obvious reasons

Brian is on a plane. He’s flying away from Detroit, not me. Tokyo, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, wouldn’t you?

A husband flying is an stereotypical time to feel religious. I am saying a prayer to Saint Joseph of Cupertino, it can’t hurt. Saint Joseph’s story is pretty funny. During his life, he was “prone to levitation” . . . so . . . the Vatican made him the patron saint of people who fly airplanes. Logical, right”?

Saint Joseph of Cupertino, pray for us.

CUTE STUFF

According to MY bible, wikipedia, there are many legends:
“. . .The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in the Nuremberg Chronicle, (1493); alongside the woodcut portrait of Valentine the text states that he was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius II, . . . He was arrested and imprisoned upon being caught marrying Christian couples . . . “

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Valentine

Valentine was arrested, and later beheaded for marrying STRAIGHT CHRISTIANS?

Ironic?
