Sunday - May 28

 Today started out sunny and cool reaching a high of 70.   Just beautiful all day long - sorry for our kiddos in NC who are having a very wet, chilly weekend.

We went to 10:30 Mass at Immaculate Conception with Father Jonathan - so good to be back here on this Pentecost Sunday with lots of red apparel or red/white/blue, great homily by Father and ending Mass with America the Beautiful.   A special treat was the organist - 13 years old and my, could he ever play!   He was not afraid to hit those keys - very joyful!!! 

 Father said he would not be outdoors greeting folks after Mass cause he had to hightail it to the "Blessing of the Fleet" in Catawba and their huge marina with boat parade, etc.    Wish we could get a blessing for Catrina?

Back to Flo and worked away transferring more stuff.   Anne texted with the very tragic news that one of the baseball players from Quincy Notre Dame (CCHS Saints were supposed to play them tomorrow night in the super sectional) was killed in a car accident last night.  This young man graduated on May 14th, was a star player and had 2 RBI's in yesterday's sectional win.    Prayers for Tucker, his family, teammates, school, community, etc.    The game will be played at 5 in Springfield.

We took a break around 1:45 and walked downtown to the Walleye Festival.    Today is Day 4 and it was crowded as ever, but sooo good - fresh walleye and perch sandwiches (we shared), fries and lemon shake-ups.     Doesn't get much better.    Walked back home, rested a bit and then back at it.    Hoping to finish up tomorrow and spend the night on Catrina.  

Almost ready to be "happy boaters"
Catrina is 19 years old

Our neighbor Bob who sold his beautiful Fleming yacht last summer has a new yacht - a 54' Viking - - what a beauty at 25 years old)!   So good to see him again!    Bob's Fleming was named "Blessed" and the folks he sold it to, kept the name as they felt "blessed" as the wife was a cancer survivor.   Bob is calling his Viking "So blessed".

Eight on Zoom tonight - talked about memorial day plans, our nephew Danny's upcoming wedding, the tragedy of the Quincy Notre Dame baseball player, 2 nephews and a niece moving to new homes, retirement (CCRC) communities, etc., etc.   

Enjoy your Memorial Day!
