The liner went in smoothly this morning. First of 3 water truckloads showed up around 12:30, and despite thunderstorms, hail, and a tornado out in Grafton where the water was coming from, the last truckload finished around 6:15. The pump is on and running. The water is 55° but the sun is supposed to be out the next 4 or 5 days so it should warm up nicely.
Water is going in. We are scheduled for 3 truckloads @ 8,000 gallons each. We will add the remaining 3-4K gallons from the well.
We spent a lovely Memorial Day weekend celebrating Cristi DeSocio and Shawn Murphy’s wedding. The marriage was celebrated at St. Mary’s Church in Wells, ME. Becca was the Maid of Honor and sang Ave Maria as the communion meditation hymn. There were few dry eyes in the church following that. The reception was at Wentworth by the Sea in New Castle (Portsmouth) NH. This place was spectacular. Mike and Sue gifted Betsy and me with two nights in this luxury suite. See the pictures for what words cannot describe.
Back in September of 2006, St. Isidore had world famous artist Br. Mickey O’Neill McGrath lead our Generations of Faith session. During the weekend he sketched one of the pages from his then yet unpublished book, Jesus A to Z. He commissioned Kaitlin to color it in. Over the next few weeks, Kaitlin and her friend Mary did just that. This past weekend we had Br. Mickey back to lead us in a reflection on the Rosary using his art.
He got to see Kaitlin and Mary’s work for the first time. Other than wishing Kait had painted a Phillies cap on Jesus or Joseph instead of the Yankees and Red Sox ones, he loved it.
During the break in the session, Kait and Br. Mickey ceremonially signed their collaboration.
