I saw the channel 4 news logo, and assumed it was Denver's channel 4. One way or another, they sure can ski!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636115320397120406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-30857293767124978472008-01-17T21:48:00.000-06:002008-01-17T21:48:00.000-06:00Hello!

She was very strict, and most of us were scared to death of her. But, then she would do these wonderful things for us. She would also play soft ball and kick ball with us sometimes. She would hit, or kick, and one of us could run, we always had a home run! I am always sorry for those who have bad memories. I remember them both, but the good always stand out from the rest! That particular Nun, Sister Rita is very sick now with Parkinsins. So, if you all could keep her in your prayers! Thanks so much!<BR/><BR/>(Aunty) DonnaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492801509749056573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-36536533356287852392008-01-17T13:06:00.000-06:002008-01-17T13:06:00.000-06:00Did it.Done.Quite psyched.

Of course, by the time you add postage and handling, it'll be &5 or $6 probably, but that's still pretty darn good, huh? I'm ordering one of these to have for myself, too.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636115320397120406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-70632074503850478152008-01-17T10:25:00.000-06:002008-01-17T10:25:00.000-06:00Me again.

I'm pleased to have passed this mental image along. =gg= It's one of those ones I like to call up to cheer myself up sometimes!<BR/><BR/>Marie ~ I'm truly sorry your Mom had a bad experience in the Catholic schools. I know that those bad situations did and still do sometimes happen. What makes me sad, though, is that though this kind of thing happened at all kinds of schools all over the place, saecular and protestant,it seems to be identified with Catholic schools and Catholic nuns. It's unfortunate anywhere it happens. I do hope you get the opportunity to meet a good Catholic nun sometime! I wish you could meet our dear friends! Your whole impression would be so changed.<BR/><BR/>Raulito ~ I know what you mean. My husband is a convert and is only getting to get in on the fun. But, you know, I think he appreciates it more than I do! * * I will ask the Sisters to pray for you and your family this weekend! Pray it doesn't snow so I can go!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636115320397120406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-75802062340129784822008-01-15T21:06:00.000-06:002008-01-15T21:06:00.000-06:00Great stories!

I went to Catholic school for early elementary, so don't remember much. We moved around a lot overseas. I would have loved to continue in Catholic school.<BR/><BR/>I'm just getting to know our sisters(Dominican) who teach at the Catholic elementary school. They seem very nice, but I have not introduced myself. I get the feeling they may know that we are homeschoolers. I wonder how they feel about it...one Sunday I'll get up the courage to speak to them at length.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-26019776923626368832008-01-15T20:32:00.000-06:002008-01-15T20:32:00.000-06:00That is a wonderful post!

We converts certainly have missed much by growing up outside the faith, imho! Please ask the sisters to pray for me and my family if you do make it out to visit them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-29625917380340199052008-01-15T10:01:00.000-06:002008-01-15T10:01:00.000-06:00My mom grew up Catholic and went to parochial scho...My mom grew up Catholic and went to parochial schools. She had a terrible experience though, being only part American Indian in a school full of full blooded American Indians and Mexicans, she was teased mercilessly and the nuns did nothing to help, even blamed her. So I grew up with a not very nice idea of what a nun is.<BR/><BR/>But I recently read <I>Unveiled</I> by Cheryl Reed, and now I find myself relating to nuns and having a lot of respect for them and their choices.Memarie Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289584923725420572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-13059579292038639502008-01-15T04:11:00.000-06:002008-01-15T04:11:00.000-06:00This was a wonderfully heartwarming post:0)I love ...This was a wonderfully heartwarming post:0)<BR/>I love the mental picture of nuns sledding on doughnut trays heehee!<BR/>Priceless.Shosannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848582110304798801noreply@blogger.com
