First Communion

Here it is Sunday morning, again the churchies have invaded my neighborhood. I live near an older style Catholic church and school so I commonly get the invasion of salvation seeking sapiens. I was considering slipping on a nice frock and making my way to a pew in the back, but really I just need a bit of coffee and I have hopes to build something today so I am gearing up to get on with it.

It has been really hot here lately. (stop snickering I am talking mostly about the weather) This morning I am able to open up the windows and let in some fresh air. The house gasps for it I almost feel a breeze from the rush of new air. Let out that old stale air conditioning air, bring in the fresh clean summer morning air that all the churchies have been exhaling and inhaling into to as they make their way from the cars to the Lord.

I like to watch the people going to church, I can do this from just about any window in my house. They have a pretty consistent number of followers show up on the regularly scheduled times that they host events. Of course on the holidays it gets really crazy with people who only go to church a few times a year.

When my grandmother died we got these little cards with a really pretty picture on it of Mary and people could pay for mass to be said ….I think in my grandma’s honor? or I am not sure but it had some kind of ritual to it that I was not aware of. That card is really pretty, I am not sure this moment where it is I am certain it is tucked safely away someplace. I also have some litle silver frogs that I bought in a shop on the way to my grandmothers funeral, I held them in my pocket all the way there and then lined them up at places I stopped. The little frogs were really nice, a nice weight just pleasing overall. I put one in my granmothers casket. I put another one in the box my fathers ashes are in. The rest are lined up on a shelf on my desk. My bird likes to pick them up and toss them off the shelf.

How’s that for a ramble? I’m going to go build and drink coffee now.
