Light Day

      Some days are busy ... others are not.  Today seems like one of those days.   At Mass this morning, Paul was once again offering practical advice to Timothy.  Hopefully we listened and learned. 
At the office a number of deadlines were met, busy work dealt with, and a view of the wood of the desk top is now visible. 
My sister, Janie has been visiting, and we made a trip home to Uniontown to take care of a few things. 
Upon return, we visited the parish Flea Market and Bake Sale being held in the parish hall ... had a bite to eat, surveyed the "treasures" and bought some goodies for later. 
The evening promises to be free.

     One thing about the Flea Market and Bake Sale, though.  The dedicated group of volunteers that organize, collect and set up the stuff, price the objects, people the four day sale, serve and sale the food, are great!  Most have done this for many years, and have served the parish well.   Despite having "earned retirement", they continue on because of their love of the parish family.  They give of themselves in SO MANY ways.  We don't say thank you often enough ... but I want them to know that I/we are grateful.  The sale ends tomorrow ... and there are great bargains still available.

     Yesterday was a trip to Meadville, PA to visit with family whom Janie and I have not seen for awhile.  Despite the drizzle and chilly temperatures, the visit was relaxing and enjoyable, and the cousins are doing well.

     Until tomorrow, may your Friday eve be peaceful and blessed.
