NUTS! 
THERE ARE KNOTS!



Quote of the Day: April 18, 2010



"As a knot appears unexpectedly in a thread, so disappointment blocks the smoothness of life. If a few deft strokes can untangle the skein, life continues evenly. But if it cannot be corrected, then it must be quietly woven into the design. Thus, the finished piece can still be beautiful - even though not as perfect as planned."

PHOTOGRAPHS



Isn't this a great picture? Someone dropped it off in our rectory [St. Mary's Annapolis, Maryland] - along with two other pictures.

I took it out of its frame, so that I could scan it.

Surprise I found the following handwritten comment on the back of the photo: "Convention in Ashville, North Carolina, Week of July 4, 1927. Mrs. McWilliams and myself attended."

By the banner one can see it was a Catholic Daughters of America Convention.

What was that like in North Carolina in 1927? I don't know who the "myself" is. It's signed what looks like T.A. D. I'm not sure, but I'll do some further investigation. Mrs. McWilliams was a long time parishioner here at St. Mary's Parish, Annapolis, Maryland.

Take your mouse and tap, tap the picture and you'll get a bigger version of it.

Save those old photos!
