May 2008 Events

Off the US Mailing List? If you find that you no longer get the newsletter in the mail (those of you w/o Internet access), it is probably because you haven’t come to an event at all/in quite awhile. Therefore, we assumed you weren’t that interested. However, if this should happen and you want to stay on the list, just call the parish office (number listed above), and ask them to add you back on the mailing list. Thanks. Thank you.


C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S

May 25 (Sun): If you’d like to help celebrate the Memorial Day weekend, please join us at my house from 2 to 6 p.m. for a Pot Luck/Open House.

The following is a suggested guideline (since most like an idea of what to bring) but feel free to bring whatever you’d like, and these don’t have to be huge servings since more than one could be bringing the same type of food:

*Last name starts with E-H, please bring fruit
*Last name starts with I-L, please bring a veggie
*Last name starts with M-P, please bring a salad
*Last name starts with Q-T, please bring dessert

Siena-Francis House Volunteer Opportunity
Thanks to each of you who have contacted me about volunteering to serve food on a Sun. afternoon at the Siena-Francis House. Cheri is going to head this up, and she tells me, after talking to them, that there are several young people doing service work there now so it looks like it will probably be July for us. There will be more info in the June newsletter in this regard. This will be a good opportunity for us to help others so I hope you will consider it and join us. Thank you.


Mom Test--I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her, and I asked her not to do that. “Why?” my daughter asked. “Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs,” I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, “Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart.” I was thinking quickly. “All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom.”

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. “OH...I get it!” she beamed, “So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad?” ‘‘Exactly,” I replied back with a big smile on my face. Happy Mother’s Day again!
