Staking the Zinnias

I very often do not understand my wife, especially when she gives me instructions. A few weeks ago she informed me that she needed to “stake the zinnias” in the front garden. I know what zinnias are. I know what it means to stake something. I still did not comprehend what these two words meant together.

Fortunately I am adept at asking questions and getting to the bottom of things.

Hoping I had done this right, I came up with this:

Note how the Blessed Mother appears to be watching over our garden. I placed her there to honor her amidst all the colorful flowers that usually grow in the garden.

Also, I must have done this right because here we are a mere two weeks later…

Blessed Mother is still there, I assure you. I guess her presence inspired these things to grow really tall.

I Hear Tell that Leo Weighed in on Econe.

Wonderful. *Now do the Chinese “bishops”, the dyke abortionist from Canterbury, and James Martin., SJ.

Loved the Trip. The Travel Options These Days, Not So Much

I am writing this post on my way home from the airport. My wife is driving. And thanks be to God for a safe arrival.

The sad state of travel these days… Although, kudos to the captain for personally apologizing to every passenger as we deplaned. it really wasn’t his fault that he was assigned a gate that already had a plane parked at it. That was a 45 minute wait in the “timeout box”, as he put it. It’s also not his fault that the gate agent wasn’t on scene to bring the jetbridge out once we were parked at the gate. That was another 30 minutes. And it certainly was not his fault that it took an hour and fifteen minutes for our bags to come up. Folks, this is DFW, not a rural country airstrip.

On the plus side, I got to see the inside of a magnificent church today.

You KNEW she would be there. 😉

Many thanks to the pastor of St. Alphonsus Liguori in Baltimore for his hospitality and his blessing. God is too kind to this sinner.
