I'v...Annie, that's a lovely feast day card, thanks! I've said it before, you are certainly adept at searching the Internet and coming up with interesting things! <BR/><BR/>Now that you mention it, I'm not sure just when I learned about Our Lady of Guadalupe. It may have been much later than parochial school since I remember that, aside from Christmas, the main feast day we celebrated in December was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on the 8th, which was a holy day of obligation. Ummm... do you remember wearing the little round lace veils on our heads at Mass? Gee, I haven't thought of some of this stuff in years!LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30223448.post-1165904111787294532006-12-11T23:15:00.000-07:002006-12-11T23:15:00.000-07:00Another former Catholic-school girl here... althou...Another former Catholic-school girl here... although I don't remember learning about Our Lady of Guadalupe at school - it was later, when I had children of my own. <BR/><BR/>Well, it's just after midnight here in Austin, so here's a Happy Feast Day card that can be emailed, although it really should have Juan Diego on it, too!<BR/><BR/>http://www.catholicgreetings.org/Create.asp?card=23<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30223448.post-1165813118809788972006-12-10T21:58:00.000-07:002006-12-10T21:58:00.000-07:00Kerri, thanks for reading my blog! I have to tell ...Kerri, thanks for reading my blog! I have to tell you the library where I work decided to have a cute cuddly mascot for the children's programs and they picked a raccoon! I was saying NO, but to no avail. I guess because everyone thinks they ARE cute and cuddly. <BR/><BR/>The Chevy Chase retirement center behind me is apparently having problems with too many lights. I've noticed they're having to alternate the lights each night on some of the displays. They probably need another transformer! As long as they don't blow ours I'm fine with it. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the raccoon-trapping, and I hope your kitties are safe again soon.LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30223448.post-1165755045002763562006-12-10T05:50:00.000-07:002006-12-10T05:50:00.000-07:00Interesting reading the story of the Blessed Virgi...Interesting reading the story of the Blessed Virgin appearing to Juan Diego. I've heard it before, somewhere in my past years. The traditions of Catholicism date way back, don't they? <BR/>Those roses are magnificent in your lovely photo.<BR/>I've enjoyed reading your recent posts. Your grandtwins are adorable! :) <BR/>Whew! Looking after 5 young grandchildren and decorating all in one day. No wonder you were tired! <BR/>Blue pointsettias? A definite 'no thank you'!<BR/>I had a giggle at the Chevy Chase Christmas display behind your house :)<BR/>Thanks for visiting. I'm sorry you lost a cat to a raccoon too. They certainly can be vicious and a nuisance in spite of their cute appearance. I hope we can be rid of the creature soon and make our barn a safe refuge for our cats again.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30223448.post-1165724875153110492006-12-09T21:27:00.000-07:002006-12-09T21:27:00.000-07:00Thanks Mary, I've learned there's quite a few of u...Thanks Mary, I've learned there's quite a few of us Catholic school girls on Blogger!LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30223448.post-1165586701909457922006-12-08T07:05:00.000-07:002006-12-08T07:05:00.000-07:00Sweet story.
