Zippity-Do-Dah



I woke up this morning way before my alarm went off in spite of the fact that the thunder and lightning kept me awake a bit last night. I just felt great! Nothing bothered me today even though it was June 30th, and I had a lot to do. It was a wonderful day! Like the song says... Zippity-do-dah, Zippity-ay! My oh my what a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine, plenty of rain! Zippity-do-dah, Zippity-ay! Brer Rabbit has nothing on this mouse today!

Isn't it odd how sometimes we wake up that way, and other times we can barely move in the morning. I have never been able to figure out what I do or eat the night before that creates one mood or the other. But I am grateful for the great days!

Today was Fr. Aiden's last "official" day as Pastor, and our new Pastor, Fr. Patrick Irwin spent a lot of the day getting acclimated to the parish. He is quite funny and I think we will get along very well. He seems to have a keen eye for assessing things quickly, and the wheels in his head are already spinning away. I expect he will make some changes sooner than we thought, but they will be good ones. Besides, Fr. Aiden will be helping out part time so we will still get to have him around! I say, the more Irishmen around the better!

Life is good today. I accomplished a lot. I am looking forward to celebrating Aunt Betty Ann's 75th birthday with all of my kids and a lot of the family around. It will be a blast! I hope that tomorrow is another day like today... I will try to make it that way!



I am sure that some of you will be gone for the holiday, so let me wish all of you a Happy Fourth of July! Have a great weekend and a great holiday, but be careful with those fireworks! Cheers!
