Famous Architect's Churchy Free Little Library

This morning the keeper attended another funeral at her former community.

She was happy to see the new little free library which has a very famous architect--Paul Thiry.
We assume he would be proud to see this new rendition.

In spite of all the rain, the camellias are bringing us some color.

Old Friends at a Grand Funeral

The days seem to go faster than we can blog.

On Mardi Gras the keeper went to a funeral for a very inspiring person, Jack O'Leary, SJ.

His celebration brought together people from many parts of the keeper's life, including David and Peter who invited her into ministry.

Work Accomplished, at Least Til Tomorrow

They left sunny Olympia and headed home.

Advocacy Day

She left me before dawn this morning to be part of Advocacy Day in Olympia. Hundreds of Catholics descend on the capitol to advocate for more just allocations of resources to enable poor people and communities to claim their fair share of justice.

They started with a briefing and a Mass at St. Michael's.
The preacher was very good this year.

Advocating for More Just Systems

The 32nd District delegation took advantage of the sun in-between visits with legislators.

The keeper had a chance to visit with her friends from her childhood parish in Vancouver.

The 6th Grade speech champs provided powerful testimony about banning toxic fire retardants.

Sometimes the senator's aide receives the delegation.  This one didn't take notes. However, he graduated from Gonzaga, so perhaps his mind is so sharp he didn't need to.

Super Sunday Camino

The keeper said she would be gone for an hour.  It was two and 5 miles.
