No, but we used to sneak into the rectory and steal the "hosts". They were so good!! I first learned to steal at church.

We love to make snow ice cream. We had 6" of snow in March this year and we made snow ice cream, snow angels, snow balls etc.

WE DID TOO!

I was at my dad's in NE Arkansas recouping from my surgery. It was the first time I'd had it in years because it just doesn't snow enough in Memphis.

Well we weren't too terribly far from you then. A few hours away... but not too many. We were/are in Central Arkansas... Cleveland County.

You know they didn't really push the transsubstantiation when I was in the Catholic Church. It was taught - "Do this in remembrance of me" OR I was just not paying attention.

Yeah... could go either way on that one.

Probably so, I'm thinking. We were usually in the choir loft. You don't pay much attention way up there.

They let little kids drink wine? Did you sneak it later or what? LOL!

This is a fountain at a Catholic Academy, in San Antonio, where my mother went to school. My sister painted this and I am buying the painting from her for my Christmas present.



Isn't it beautiful?!!!!!!!!
