I was trying to straighten up some bookshelves a few days ago and realized I had been hoarding magazines. Now, I am not about to let myself get as bad as my maternal grandmother who had magazines (and she subscribed to many) piled up behind things, cascading across the floor, shoved in a basket. etc. … Continue reading Magazines: Save the Best – Get Rid of the Rest

The answers to all of life’s burning questions…
It's currently 98 degrees and sunny. Hanging one load on the line in the sun just about gave me heatstroke so I've retreated to the airconditioned indoors for a while. I've been going through old magazines, ripping out recipes, craft ideas, etc., and throwing the magazine out. I save way too much stuff. I'll sort … Continue reading The answers to all of life’s burning questions…

Cleaning Cloths and a "Found" Hanger
I have seen several examples of people sewing pretty cleaning cloths from fabric scraps, even one example of someone making a reusable towel roll (looks just like a roll of paper towels but made of snap-together cloths).

I'm going to increase the cooking time to 35 minutes. The recipe called for 15 to 18 minutes … Continue reading Cream Cheese Danish

New-Martyr Aquilina
I was told about St. Aquilina* while I was on my retreat including the news that her relics had been finally found.

Her relics were hidden to avoid defilement by the … Continue reading New-Martyr Aquilina
"I held him for the 45 minutes that it took him to die."
This video is from an interview that took place in 2000. Since then the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act was passed in 2002. However, in abortionaries around the country babies who are "mistakenly" born alive are still allowed to die after being thrown in a bucket or wrapped up in something and put to the side. … Continue reading "I held him for the 45 minutes that it took him to die."
