Naked Mole Rat

... an inside joke that I never really understood, the girls always laugh about this particular animal. Course, this is what the real one looks like. But they enjoy calling all different sorts of things by this name.

Annie's Plaster Craft Family Sculpture

... what I love the most about this is that it is called "My Fun Family" and that Kitty really spins just like she does in her cage!

The Day it Snowed in Florida

January 19, 1977

This is the kind of stuff I love seeing on Facebook! A friend posted this pic of an old newspaper, ... AND I REMEMBER THAT DAY! We still laugh thinking of Mom, originally from Buffalo NY, taking this picture of the "three flakes" on our picnic table.

Mexican Food with Godparents Natalie & Greg


... it was just lucky that Natalie and Greg were stationed in Washington DC at this time. WE GOT TO SEE THEM! (And we ALL thought I was hilarious that Baby Jesus offered Joseph a Taco. Their younger children, Justin and Joseph, joined us. My godson, Gregory, was already at Xavier University. (Note Leia's sweatshirt.)

The Museum of Natural History with Shenandoah

The National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception

My one request during our visit was to see the shrine. It was gorgeous! The newest Dome, the Trinity dome, made of millions of Mosaic tiles from Italy, had just opened the week before! I found out later that Pope Francis himself had blessed the Trinity Dome! My one sadness was that Shana could not come to share it with us!
