From the nearby S. M. in Monserrato.
She saw the consistory list.
The white roses are gone and the red are going. But I added some alstroemeria. I thank those who earmarked donations for flowers. They cheer me up, and I need cheering.
Last night’s chicken. Browned a bit with some little tomatoes and some frozen veg I intended for soup but… hey. An onion was sauteed after the spatchcocked chicken was given some color. A little white wine. Into the oven where I already had potatoes roasting, cut in chunks, soaked in salt water for a while, then given olive oil and rosemary.
And so I ate my supper and worried about Florida.
For good reason.
I’ve been texting people hoping that they have working cellular, begging them to check on my mom at her house (if she’s there). I have no info since all the power is out there. It’s nerve wracking. That neighborhood was hit by a massive tornado. There are fatalities not far away and I saw in a fakebook posting that a street about 2 blocks from her place had water up to the mailboxes.
There are the usual post-tornado photos going around, which you can imagine. It was really slammed hard.
Meanwhile, in churchy and chessy news… frankly, today….
I ask for your prayers.
Prayers for your mom’s safety and well-being, Fr. Z. St. Raphael the Archangel, pray for her, watch over her.
Have been praying, Father, since the other recent hurricane. Florida has a special place in my heart after living in Jacksonville and Pensacola for so much of my childhood. May the angels protect your Mom and all others.
Praying for your mom and all those in the area.
I’m also praying for you, your mother and all affected.
I have heard the Northern Lights can be seen in Florida tonight,
Praying for Mama Z!
