A Few Things

1. Stephanie recently bought herself this cute Kate Spade purse. It is the cutest thing---navy with the camel and all those darling tassels. It's the popular backpack style purse. We are definitely Kate Spade people!

2.  I had no idea that bacon came in half pound packages. What used to be the one pound package is now 12oz. Bacon is so expensive these days. This pack was nearly $5.00!

3. One day, Butch came in and asked me where this toaster came from. It was on the floor in the back hallway. I said, "What?" and went over to check. That's when Steph started to laugh as we were trying to figure out what was going on. Then she admitted that she brought it so Butch could take it to recycle for her. She said it was "toast!" No problem, Butch goes to the recycle place every week!

4. Mary Queen of Angels Nursing Home is still on lockdown. Still, they take the residents on a trip every week. My friend, Mautj was on a gondola in Venice! She really gets in to it. She still doesn't have that mask mastered yet. Luckily, her place has not had any cases of Covid.  They must be doing something right there!

5. To our surprise, Mindy's picture turned up in the Tennessee Register. That's our Catholic newspaper. This is a candid shot of her and her Forensics partner, McColl during one of their performances. They regularly won 1st place. The Nashville Forensics league is putting together a Hall of Fame. Mindy and Stephanie both excelled at Forensics. In my opinion, that was the most important experience of their school years. They both are able to speak in front of a crowd with self-confidence and ease. Considering their careers, it's an important life skill.
