Journal Entry for June 15, 2008 Mood

Sunday, June 15, 2008 | A General Update story

Sister found her way to the Retreat House and had a time of refreshment while there. She found the Jesuites to be most hospitable, and the food to be especially good!

On the 9th we headed for Toronto and met up with Rena, to head off to Midland and the Martyrs' Shrine.

Rena is one true Firecracker in the best sense of the word!

The Shrine as always was stunning, and has kept its simplicity, much to my delight. I do believe Sister Maggie enjoyed the experience, as it is quite unique and presented with no commercialism whatsoever!

Sister began to feel poorly, and so we spent an extra day or so in Midland rather than going north to Rena's cabin.

We all had some good laughs, and really enjoyed Midlands' Dollar Stores!!!!

Yesterday Sister Maggie decided that because she was experiencing a flare of her illnesses that she needed to get home before they worsen.

Do pray for her, that she have a safe trip and recovers quickly.

And just for the record, I came home to my KoKoMoJo & Cricket still a smokefree camper!! Altho........... !

Was saddened to hear about Quazar.. I had tried to call from Midland on the 9th and couldn't get thru....but I just knew!

I'm so glad she had all the love she is surrounded with here on DS.

That is the beauty of DS (among MANY others!) when one of us has a need it is sure to be met in ways that we often least expect, but it is met indeed and we are never alone unless we choose to be!

I have to say it is a great place to have to return to when one has been away for a while. Thanks for all the hugs & msgs while I was gone. I do hope you have all been well, I'll be doing a journal run to see how you are all doing and send love to you all for now OXOX .

Talk about having all the joys and sorrows of life in one place. But that is life, isn't it.

Good for you not smoking!

Weeble Hugs and Mojo to you and your zoo.
