 I voted this morning at about 7:20 am. ...much too early for me, but I didn't want to risk getting stuck in Boston and missing the opportunity to VOTE.

St. Anthony, when you prayed, your stolen book of prayers was given back to you. Pray now for all of us who have lost things precious and dear. Pray for all who have lost faith, hope or the friendship of God. Pray for us who have lost friends or relatives by death. Pray for all who have lost peace of mind or spirit. Pray that we may be given new hope, new faith, new love. Pray that lost things, needful and helpful to us, may be returned to our keeping. Or, if we must continue in our loss, pray that we may be given Christ’s comfort and peace. Amen.


I like the old kids version better.....

Saint Anthony.
Saint Anthony.
Please look around.
Something is lost and needs to be found


Bunny is lost. I can not find him anywhere. We've been together since the spring of 1968. I don't recall seeing him since just before Christmas. I had assumed he was under the bed. He wasn't.

Fred feels: drained

Flickr find of the day!

One of my favorite bloggers, Jim Sullivan over at Suldog (he reminds me of my cousin Michael) has several excellent posts up about the all too early jump retailers and other businesses get on endless Christmas promotions....you know the ones:  radio stations that play Christmas music 24/7 starting in early November, stores that take down the Halloween decorations and put the Christmas stuff on October 20th etc. etc.  Jim is encouraging everyone to remember that holidays should be celebrated one at a time.....and specifically that Thanksgiving celebrations should conclude prior to the commencement of the Christmas hype.  Jim is encouraging all bloggers who agree to create a post titled "Thanksgiving Comes First"....a wee, little, homespun movement.

Personally, I would be very happy if my world had an extra few weeks free from endless Dunkin Donuts posters and billboards featuring an orange skinned Rachael Ray hawking gift cards.

If I get organized, I may have my Halloween decorations down by Thanksgiving.

So I took this silly meme quiz back in June and e-mailed myself the results....I'm just getting around to posting them.
