We are into January and a cold one it is. Local radio says it was minus 23 this morning
with a wind chill of minus 43 degrees…that’s cold if you have to be in it for
any length of time. My plans are to stay
inside as much as possible. They say the
high today will be about minus 15. Even
with the severe cold we are still fortunate because we have electricity and do
not have ice coated power lines, trees and roads.
After two weeks with a “Sunday” in the middle of the week,
and a “Monday” after Wednesday, it is good to be back to a week where Monday
follows Sunday and the days go along as expected. We don’t have to say, “Today is Monday.” The past two weeks the day after Wednesday
felt like a Monday.
We’ve had Christmas and New Year’s and Epiphany. Next Sunday is the Feast of the Baptism of
the Lord and the end of the Christmas Season according to the Church calendar. It seems to me that it all went by pretty
fast. On Saturday we Sisters had our
Christmas celebration. After the special
meal, we sing Christmas carols for half an hour or so. We do like to sing.
The Blood Mobile will be here Wednesday, Thursday (1 to 7
p.m.) and Friday (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.) I
hope the cold does not scare off donors.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Stephen Ministers from
Anoka will be having meetings here.
One day last week I got a picture of Sr. Julien and Geri
frosting cookies.
This morning I went looking for door decorations. Have a little look.
Next week there will be a retreat going on from Monday to
Sunday.
Peace and blessings,
Stay warm and safe. Snow-birds we envy you.
Sister Mary Lou
