Ok. I just got back from a PACKED, working trip to NY. I remembered my camera so I could document and share the trip with YOU. There is too much for me to do in one sitting, but I will do a little every day or so. (Well, we'll see.)
The first stop was to my mom's cousin. We stayed with her (thank you, Fran) and got a bad key to the front door. So after getting lost to Trader Joe's the next morning (got to have my health food) and getting back late to the house to change to get ready for my Telecare taping of the sung rosary - we couldn't get in. I was kicking myself for thinking that a taping of the rosary was going to be a breeze and for not remembering the spiritual battle. We had to run around like crazy people to get the spare key, throw make-up on, dress and drive. Since I always leave EXTRA time when driving in NY (an extra hour is a good cushion) I got there with a few minutes to eat lunch, get acquainted and start shooting. But the Bishop had to come and tape a message last minute so I got pushed back an hour or two, because he was stuck in traffic and we couldn't start until he was done. I sang ALL 20 DECADES of the rosary that day. That's 4 programs and 4 outfit changes. And except for the teleprompter going out and being replaced (another 30 min.) it went very well. We ended much later than expected, but the crew were troopers. They all left like a shot when we were done, though, at about 7:30 pm. Whew! An hour drive back to the house out on Long Island and I was done. What a productive day! Thank you, Jesus!!

The next time I'm tempted to gripe about my busy math-teaching schedule, I'll need to come back and read this post. Good grief! God bless your (much needed) rest!
I'm excited to hear you've taped the rosary -- and I can only imagine how exhausting your time in NY was, so I'm all the more appreciative of your work! When and how will the tape be aired/released?
Health food, sure. But remember, I owe you the Georgian Room for some decadence...
