I don't have any pictures to post. But take it from me, today was a good day(to paraphrase Ice Cube). Even though Mary was out of town, I had a full yet relaxing day. It started with the girls being ready to get ready for church all on their own(wow!). Then it was off to tell their cousin from Houston goodbye, then to Mass where Elizabeth and Emma sang in the youth choir, with angelic voices I must say(gushing dad syndrome). The was our parishes church fair for a couple of hours. It was like living the McDonald's slogan; "food, folks and fun". After that I helped chaperon the youth group on our trip to the Diocesan World Youth Day in Donaldsonville LA. The priest at the church is the same priest that married me and Mary. There were an estimated 1700 people there today. They said it was the largest crowd ever for our diocese. The Mass was standing room only, I was one of the couple of hundred that stood. after mass we walked as a community to two different venues for youth activities. then had a terrific spaghetti and meatball supper prepared by the citizens of D,ville. Then a final blessing in the church and the ride back home.
It was a good and busy day. I didn't even complain that I had to miss the Saints game today(which they won, Praise God).
