Memories of Antonia Plantation

We were able to spend time at Antonia Plantation when my niece was married there four years ago.  It's really a lovely place.  The land was granted to Pierre Lebert in 1793.  The plantation still belongs to the family

I'm getting ready to travel again, this time to Baton Rouge to visit with my brothers and sisters-in-law.  So I'm offering a link as a preview of the trip!   Have a wonderful week!

My Time For Retreat

Saint Meinrad Archabbey is a Roman Catholic monastery in Spencer County, Indiana, USA, was founded by monks from Einsiedeln Abbey in Switzerland on March 21, 1854, and is home to approximately 85 monks. The abbey is named for St. Meinrad, a monk who died in 861. It is one of only two archabbeys in the United States and one of 11 in the world.  (Wikipedia)

St. Meinrad is a wonderful place for quiet reflection.  So, next weekend I'll be on retreat.  I will not be contributing to my blog until the following week.  Wishing you all a week in which you take some time for reflection.  It can't hurt.  Take time to rest in quiet peace this week.

Thanks be to God!

Happy Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day

The Day of Hearts and Flowers

Where love is in bloom

Sadly after this

Often the love is forgotten

The very next day

How I wish the love  and joy we feel on Valentine's Day would or could carry over to the rest of the year.  

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!
