to Addie returning home, and the four of us together for the whole summer the first time in four years;
to our work conference this week in MA, and planning for the upcoming year. Geo is coming along with me for some R&R at a very fine New England inn.
to the ordination to priesthood and the first Mass of a young man we know (Addie’s confirmation sponsor). It will be quite the celebration and a privilege to witness.
to fresh flowing lake water at our Kamp on the Lake. Phil has the expertise and an amazing plan for a new pump system. I will be ecstatic to see it in full operation.
to wild raspberries in our yard, and vine-ripened tomatoes and beans from my garden.
