Connections

It is a strange discovery.  Molly is dating the son of one of the partners from Schwartz, Shapiro, Jamie's first employer in Columbus.  Tom Geer was tall, and his wife had a cool name, Tess.  That's about all I remember about them.  Fast forward to February 2011, Molly has been dating Charlie since last summer - and she went to high school with him - we had no idea there was a link.  Now we are back-tracking to remember the faces and the conversations and the visits to Dad's office, on missions to collect paperclips and rubberbands.  Was Charlie there with his dad?  Did I know Charlie when...?

I am connected to a wonderful group of women at my workplace.  I teach, as most of you know, at a Catholic grade school.  My teacher friends make this cradle Catholic - 16 years of Catholic education - feel like a newbie.  Did you know that Catholic moms group together to share recipes?  Check out "Bless Us, O Lord."  I've provided the link.  The author is a mom at our school.

John Lenarz and I have connected on email this week.  And Lisa facebooked me!  Yes, the connections are taking place.

John reports that the Lenarz sibs are busy settling Uncle Jim into his apartment after his release from the hospital.  They are having to inject some of his meds, but that's ok with them as the agreement to do so allowed Uncle Jim to come home.  Uncle Jim, in the meantime, is happy and energized at home.  Love you, Uncle Jim.  My prayers are for you and your awesome family!
