I haven't done much with the blog this summer 'cause I've been having a difficult time healthwise. Blew up like the StaPuff Marshmallow Man for some reason and had to get treatment with a follow-up here at home. Still not back to normal, but getting better.

Here is a lovely message from John & Mary:
This
morning John and I had the luxury of time to sit and watch the Pope’s visit to
the White House. We listened attentively to the Pope’s message as he reiterated
to care for the poor and the marginalized. That was when we realized that that
is exactly what you as members of SPR are already doing.
You
give of your time, talent and money to make Christmas more meaningful to the
less fortunate families in the local area. For this we thank you. It is very
humbling to know that we are truly following the teachings of Pope
Francis.
For
this John and I would like to express our since thanks for your support as we
begin our Christmas "Adopt A Family" Program.
