My trip to Baltimore excited me with a new opportunity to grow my faith and meet new people looking for the same thing. Yet it also had me concerned about the logistics of the hotel and transportation. It was the first time to travel alone to an unknown destination and new people. Waiting for the…

A ChristLife Picnic at Conesus Lake, NY 2022
The last few months have been a busy time trying to decide how to continue my journey of putting together pieces of my life. I decided to use the month of July 2022 to explore new places or places already visited. Last Sunday July 17th 2022, Dio and I went to the ChristLife picnic to…
A Day at the Erie Canal in Pittsford, NY 2022
It’s been a while since I’ve written about pieces of my life puzzle. (Please read: Why read my blog, About me, Welcome to My Blog) An important piece of the puzzle right now is the coming of my sister-in-law to live with Dio and me. Having her stay with us has meant revisiting my favorite…
Niagara Falls 2021
Twenty years is a long time for some people. But for me, I don’t know where they went! This past year 2021 gave me a chance to celebrate together with my husband 20 years of a marriage arranged directly by God. You see, I made a special-order request to God for a man who could…
Fragility and Christmas
During the first week of December 2021, I went to visit my almost 4-month-old (December 8) Grandson in Orlando FL. I visited during September and October 2021, enjoying the baby and his tenderness. These visits reminded me of Baby Jesus and the Holy Family. Although I have three adult kids and two older grandkids of…

Browncroft Walks
One of the many reasons I love Rochester, NY is my new neighborhood where I live now, which is known as Historic Browncroft in North Winton Village. Before moving here from Webster, New York, I lived on a commercial avenue called Empire Blvd. Though it was great having many services at a walking distance, such…
Farmer’s Market Webster, NY
Farmer’s markets have always been popular! Though I did not grow up going to them, I went to one this past Saturday the first of August 2021 as a volunteer for the ChristLife Kiosk of my parish. I thought a farmer’s market was only farm goods. But I found out that it can include artisans…
