Had to share this one...

All in fun, y'all!

I love my coffee!

Drinking Fair Trade French Roast these days, brewed from freshly ground 100% Arabica beans. (Yum.)

Oh, and here's a really cool bunch of coffee facts going around Facebook these days! Fun stuff.

I was gonna take a picture of my cuppa coffee this morning to share one of my favorite drinking vessels, but truth is: I'm not here. I get to go hang out with my daughter-in-law while my son does Marine stuff before his Commissioning Ceremony today. Woohoo! Fun morning for me -- Big afternoon for Paul. A very big step. Will you please remember our new Marine in your prayers, as well as all our young men who fight for our freedom?

Glad you're having special family time.

Heavenly Father, we ask You to guide our children in the choice of spouse. Don't let them be carried away by false charms or be fascinated by mere outward glamour, but guide their minds to look beneath and beyond all external attractiveness for the deeper things which alone are worth while.

Especially let the choice be of one who is a fervent Catholic, true in thought and word and deed to those ideals which are Yours, especially the value of their purity.

Dear Father of us all, give Your guiding help to our children, who are Your children, too. We will be letting them go soon, but please don't ever let our children go from you. Amen

St. Valentine, patron of romantic love, pray for us!

O, St. Joseph...

...whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O, St. Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me from thy Divine Son all spiritual blessings; so that having engaged here below thy Heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thy arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name, and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
