October to November happenings

+JMJ+

Well, I did it again. I procrastinated instead of posting.

Back in October my Tae Kwon Do school hosted a trunk or treat in the school parking lot. My family does not celebrate holloween, but we did decorate the trunk and dress up for this occasion. Can you guess what we went as?

 Of course we decorated the car as the shire. :D

I believe Kili and Merry were the only ones to go as any certain character. Kili was Frodo.

My mom bought him a costume. The rest of us, except for Merry, went as random Hobbits.

I really wanted the sign, so Rosie made one. :D

Hmmm... Pippin looks more like Dick Loudon from "Newhart" then a Hobbit.

Can you guess who Merry was?

My mom.

These people were Jurassic World.

These people were little green army guys. :D

We had just watched the Greatest Showman two nights before going for the first time so it was kind of funny to see the Tae Kwon Do instructor and his family dressed up as that.

Little Tom Thumb was so cute.

They had some friends in their group too. As you can see, they had the giant.

Kili trying out the plank for Captian Hook's ship.

"Frodo Baggans, if you do not open this door immediately I will blow it clean down your hole and out the other side!" 

Gandalf walking the plank.

When it got a lot darker and colder I decided to go home, since I had brought my own car. But on the way out, we noticed a crowd of trunk or treaters gathering in one spot. Naturally we took a look.

It was dancing stick people! :D

One day I came home from work and found two Southern Belles near my parking spot.

Hmmm... I should just have the Grouchy Photographer take my picture.

Take a look here, they are really good.

Random picture of Eleanor.

This one's better then the last one, but my hairs a mess.

Don't like the smile.

Making a weird face.

The choir director from my Church was in the musical "Newsies." A couple of us went to see it.

Rosie looks rather villainous in the Newsies Banner.

It was a long wait in line so I snapped pictures.

They are showing these movies in the theater. My mom wants to see "Ben-Hur," I want to see "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."

Isn't the theater elegant?

This was the view behind me.

On the First Day of Hunting Season...

My dad got this deer before I even woke up. :D

On the second day of hunting season...

then Frodo and Sam got deer as well.

On the third day of hunting season....

do you think five deer is enough?

Thanksgiving day, we all yelled that it was enough!

To bad I didn't get a better picture, but we spent several hours thanksgiving morning grinding venison into sausage. I was a bagger.

That's all for now

Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him O Lord

+JMJ+

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord

And may perpetual light shine upon him.

Please pray for the Soul of Bishop Robert Morlino who died last night.

And please pray for his successor.

We could really use another good Bishop.

The loss of Bishop Morlino is a really heavy one.

God Bless You All,

Election and Fr. Chad Ripperger

+JMJ+

I meant to share this amazing talk by Fr. Chad Ripperger as soon as I listened to it. But things came up and I didn't get around to it.

Anyway, I couldn't make it to the original talk since I was babysitting so other people could go. But I listened to it soon after it came out. I meant to only listen to a bit since it was an hour and a half long, but I ended up listening to it straight until dinner then finishing it right away afterwards. It's so good.

In view of the election loss in my state, I'm glad I listened to it before I heard the results.

When I heard the results of the election, I had just come out of Mass. For awhile I was very glum about it, thinking along the lines of "my day is ruined." But then I got to thinking about some things that Fr. Ripperger had said. It made me feel more confident. Everything is in God's hands. Whatever is going to happen will be God's will for the good of us.

Anyway, don't listen to me rambling go listen to the talk.

God Bless you All,
