Boston Harbor
Hafen von Boston
We had a very busy day today. I made my fruit salad and dropped it off at church. At the same time, I dropped of Miriam and while she was rehearsing for the confirmation, Flora and I went to the post office and the grocery store. When we came back, Miriam was done. They had rehearsed and also all the young people had gone to confession before the big day tomorrow. It was hard to find a parking spot because the guests for the funeral Mass had already begun arriving (I think they were expecting 200) and the public school across from the church was having a craft fair. Back home, I put together a soup from leftovers for lunch. Then we all spent the rest of the day cleaning and raking leaves. The snow has finally melted and quite a few people were out today raking leaves. While I am typing this, Miriam and Veronika are baking muffins for tomorrow. Flora is already in bed. Peter is on his way back from Boston and Jonathan is visiting Charlotte watching Giselle which the dance department is putting on. He will then come home to be here for Miriam's confirmation.

Ah I can see why they request your fruit salad it sounds and looks delicious. Praying for Miriam today, may God's Spirit strengthen and guide her along her own Pilgrim journey. Thank you for your lovely email and I am glad the little package arrived. Will pray for continuity of care for your mum, God Bless San and all xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, San. Miriam had a beautiful Mass and a little reception at the church afterwards. She got some very meaningful presents from her sponsor. They used to belong to our old pastor. Thanks for the prayers and blessings. It is my parents' wedding anniversary tomorrow.
DeleteManche Tage haben einfach zu wenig Stunden für die Aufgaben, die man erledigen muss. Schöne Bilder vom Hafen sind das und Dein Obstsalat sieht wirklich lecker aus! Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Firmung heute und einen wundervollen Tag zusammen. Dass Jonathan kommen kann ist doch prima! Ihr habt fast alle zusammen.
ReplyDeleteJa, Boston hat schon eine tolle Lage. Die Firmung war sehr schön. Flora war ganz traurig, daß der Obstsalat nicht für sie war.
DeleteThe fruit salad looks so delicious! I enjoyed seeing a photo of the happy day on Jonathan's instagram account. Congrats to Miriam :) xoxo Love to everyone and a big hug to you. I'm sure it was a lovely day xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dorina. It was all gone when I picked up the bowl today. We did have a very nice celebration, just Charlotte was missing.
