Gulf of Mexico

I returned recently from driving my sainted mother to the sunshine state.  This is the view from her balcony.  It was very cool and gray, kind of like Michigan…


Groovy

We took Gabe to the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum.  This was my favorite exhibit, well, this one and the bubble chamber.  I was saddened at the exhibit where we all tested our hearing.  Mine has really tanked.

Men in the Family

Another blurry photo of my parents wedding day.  From left to right,
Uncle Pat  (now Brother Anthony), Uncle Major (Richard Kenneth…
killed in a car accident), Grandpa Malone (Mom’s Dad), Dad, Uncle
Bob, and Grandpa Shaughnessy.  I believe the year was 1947.

Dad and Mom on their wedding day

Upon examining this scan in the photo lab where I work, I expressed my disappointment that it was so blurry.   The head of my department happened to be in the room.  He said something to me that I have never forgotten:  “JoanE, just be glad you have a record of your parents wedding day, blurry or not. “   This mindset keeps my perspective straight.

One of the little shrine areas inside the Cathedral, a contemplative spot.


Roots

When I was young, I used to pray this way often in my church.

This is Notre Dame, in Paris.
