| stitched flowers, crewel work fosters warm memories of Momma, the artiste This lovely piece hangs in my living room. When my hubby and I gave the kit to my multi-talented momma, I had never heard of crewel work. But I knew that my mother could do anything she set her mind to do. So I wasn't surprised that this lovely and precious work came to be. with abundant pleasure, I'm linked to radiant Rebecca and others at Haiku My Heart   |

| Our Lady of Perpetual Help, lending hope to orphans through the faith and work of Father Andre and countless others. |
 |
| On Sunday afternoon at St. Mary's parish hall was a reception for Father Andre. Many parishioners attended it to listen to a presentation by Father and Tony Costello, a local parishioner and architect/professor at Ball State University. The person who organized the whole thing is a lady who gives her all to her family,parish, community and our neighbors in Haiti. Becky has organized many different fund raisers for Father Andre's orphanage in Haiti. Her latest fund raiser is a series of rummage sales with all the proceeds going to the orphanage. |
 |
| Behind Father are drawings for a village setting for residences for the orphans. Orphanages in the past were cold, sterile institutions. Father and Tony want the children to live in a home atmosphere. In addition, there are plans for a clinic and a school. In the works is a website to make donating to the orphanage more accessible. I will pray that it will be completed soon. |

 |
| Baby robins grow up so fast. I watched them go from bare bodies to fluffy feathers in just over a week. And off they went sometime yesterday. Unfortunately I had neither the time or ability to sit at my window long enough to capture their leaving, but I know they did because their nest is empty today. I wish them a good life. visit Rebecca and others at Haiku My Heart |

| Dearest Mother Mary, I desire faith, faith as deep as the one my kitty Jax has in me. As neatly tied up and ever available as I picture yours was when the angel Gabriel announced your role in the birth of Our Lord. Help me to have the vision of the path that leads to your Son with clarity and steadfast faith. Amen more Mornings with Mary  |

| a dedication to the mem'ry of my mom from my hubs and me After Mass a few weeks ago, my former partner teacher told me that she has been repairing our song books by taping the covers to the insides of the well-worn books. She had run across a book with my dedication in it.(on the chapel side where I normally sit.) In the ten years or more that I've sat there, I had not run across this particular hymnal, and consequently, I'd forgotten about it. (Our parish members had helped with the big outlay of money for the new books by sponsoring a dedication slip.) So I opened and closed books for the hope that I'd spot it. Not successful that week. But, of course, since I posted it, you can see I was finally fruitful in my seeking. I chose this photo with the hope that this ''postcard' might be from Paradise! more Postcards from Paradise |

 |
| can't you see how hungry I am? please, me first! |
 |
| feed me first come on, Momma, please I'm hungry! Some readers might wonder why I featured the robins on this blog instead of my other blog. I feel the way that I think those who link with Rebecca's memes feel, that all life is sacred. lift your spirits by visiting Rebecca's Haiku My Heart |
