...straighten up and fly right ♫. No whining about "how awful this county is today." Put on your nicest face, and best manners, and don't throw up on the shoes of any young American girls whilst coming out of pubs.
Teresa, a young parishioner of ours who is starting her Sophomore year at University of Evansville, is going to spend the 1st semester in Grantham with members of her college along with students from all over. She'll be pitching her tent at Harlaxton Manor. It's the UK branch of her college. She's a theatre major with a minor in History (last time I checked .. or is it minor in English?)
At any rate, she's flying out today and she leaves here an Anglophile, so do your best to make sure she stays that way, okay? She was over for a week or so during her schools Easter Break when she was a HS senior. I think she's been ready for this since she cracked open her first Harry Potter at age 7 or so. I'm sure any prayers for a safe flight and easy journey will be appreciated.
She started a new blog* the other day, which I've listed on my sidebar, and with any luck will have some regular postings. Teresa served Mass for about 9 years at my parish before going off to college. Her younger brother, Francis, currently serves Mass, and proves to be every bit the pistol his sister is.
[*My friend Stephen will immediately know from whence her blog name is derived.]

New picture is very beautiful - like you....
I'd like to talk a little Latin, maybe talk a little Greek,
I'd like to talk about the arts - I rented "Hamlet" just last week.
("Words, Words, Words", right? It scares me that I hate the show - it's 'The Witches of Eastwick' - but I can still quote the cast recording!)
Grantham's a pretty town. It's also the birthplace of Margaret Thatcher, but we won't hold that against it.
Thanks Adrienne, I'd *been* meaning to put some background picture up like that since I started the blog, but never got around to it.
Stevie!!! Old boy you're slipping....something even more basic.
"Words, words, words, I'm so sick of words, I'm so sick of words, I get words all day through, first from him, now from you is that all you blighters can do? ♫" Don't overthink it, sweetie!
"My Fair Lady".
"The Witches of Eastwick", unfortunately, is on my mind - posters for a touring production are all over Manchester. It's to star Marti Pellow, the former lead singer of Wet Wet Wet. I think I'd rather gouge out my eyes with a potato peeler.
btw, Karen - the new picture - is that where Spongebob Squarepants lives?
(excuse me while I duck for cover...)
Ew! Potatoe [I spell it that way just to tick off democrats] peeler?! Use an awl. Much more efficient.
For years, I've privately referred to Mr. Pellow as Marti Pillock. He's one of those people I just. can't. stand.
Hope the journey was okay for your dear friend.
Thank you for your recent support.
God Bless you.
Ukok, yup, she made it in one piece!!! [Had initially forgotten her passport but someone went home to retrieve it!]
