Tonight we went to the Cirque show in Honolulu. It was amazing! Absolutely incredible! The stunts they did were unbelievable. At one point though a guy almost fell. For a second I was scared I was going to see someone get hurt or die. But he recovered and stayed in the air, thankfully. We had … Continue reading Cirque, Dinner

In Oahu!
Our vacation so far has been wonderful. We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and enjoyed the villages and the dancing and fire show at night. We also went shopping!!! Where we live there are no art stores and few book stores, so we stocked up. And of course, we have gone to the beach.
Bad Medicine, OCIA, Bible Journaling
Waking up was difficult to do this morning. Again, the medicine knocked me out. I'm not taking it tonight. OCIA was canceled today. Father C offered to teach it since I drove out for it, and one of my classmates was there already, but we all agreed it would be best to just reconvene in … Continue reading Bad Medicine, OCIA, Bible Journaling

Happy Thanksgiving!
We had a wonderful day! I hope you do too, reader. C cooked! He usually cooks on the holidays. His food is excellent. I definitely can't diet over Thanksgiving and Christmas! We had manicotti and fish and biscuits and pie and potatoes, etc. It's been a relaxing day. I did a little embroidery for the … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
A Lovely Sunday
I attended OCIA today and learned about the liturgical calendar. There's more to it than I really realized. Christmas isn't just one day. There are so many celebrations of different biblical things and saints in the Catholic Church that you have some special observance rather regularly. I feel a little overwhelmed and yet happy. Sometimes … Continue reading A Lovely Sunday
Creativity, Knee
Today we took my brace off to adjust it, and my kneecap started to slide out of place. It was painful. Now I'm thinking it will be a few more days before I can manage without it. I'll go to the orthopedic dr on Monday. My family has been pushing me around in the wheelchair. … Continue reading Creativity, Knee

I can add collage elements and papers to my paintings. That's actually what I'm doing to relax this afternoon. I'm clipping photos and … Continue reading Life Updates
Long Week
Tomorrow I'm going to Mass. Afterward, I meet with the priest to discuss RCIA. I'm definitely excited. Today we went gift shopping for A's birthday, and then C grilled burgers. It's a sunny, happy Saturday. This week has been busy. I went to a mom group meeting with my neighbor. There were some really nice … Continue reading Long Week
Life Updates
In the next 2 weeks, I begin RCIA classes to become Catholic. I'm excited! I still have some reservations, particularly with praying to Mary and the Saints. But as I read Catholic theologians and writers, it's making more sense. I have a new doctor to go to, and the office provides transportation when you need … Continue reading Life Updates
