A Little R and R for Mamo and Papa!

Hey All,
Came down to sunny Fla. last Sat.. to spend some "quality time" with my hubby.
We've had a good time just hanging out and doing not a lot of anything. We did go into Daytona as we always do to eat and went to Mass at St. Pauls....what a treat. The music there was awesome. Flute, piano and my favorite, the cello. We walked in to the beautiful Bascillica to the heavenly sounds of Amazing Grace. We had a very awesome experience, lit a few candles for special intentions and then off to dinner. We ate at Carraba's and oh, not good for my diet! We had a nice quiet evening, back to the condo to rest and enjoy the rest of the weekend
I'll be ready to get home on Thursday to see my babies. I can't help it, they are addicting! I miss them. Marla and the kids are picking me up at the airport and Meredith and Sam are coming over to have lunch with us at my house. Should be lots of fun.
Victor starts his first day of preschool tomorrow....I can't believe it. sure hope he has a good time. I'm eager to see him in this setting. He tells everyone that he is going to his new school, "Lady"......(Our Lady of Perpetual Help) How sweet.

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
