ROSARY RALLY OCTOBER 14, 2017

Last Saturday, October 14, 2017 was the 10th Rosary Rally sponsored by America Needs Fatima. There were 21,570 rallies that day throughout America and I was blessed to be one of the rally captains of this blessed event.
 My rally was held in a park in Sterling Hts, Michigan. The weather was gloomy and rainy but it did not prevent us from holding our yearly rally. My husband and I decided to go early to the park to see if the covered pavilion is available. Thank God and the Blessed Mother...it was available, although we have to share it with a group of people. We were so glad and thankful that our dearest friend, Gus, helped us to set up.

 At 12 noon, we started....we sang, recited the Rosary, intentions, consecration and other prayers. There was a guy from the group that was loud that listened and came to sit with us. He asked me if he could keep the copy of the 10 reasons why we do a rosary rally in public and he was quite impressed. I noticed that he took one of the rosaries on the table and was trying to follow us. I gave him a brochure with the illustrations of how to pray the rosary. I hope and pray that he got something good out of this. Who knows? He might start to pray the rosary!
Our challenges last Saturday? The devil was hard at work! The group of men were playing in the back and they were sooooo loud! We had to compete with them, when they became loud, our voices in unison became louder also. It was a shouting match at times which we tried to ignore and just kept on praying. God is good! We were able to finish our prayers beautifully and the loud mouth men did not dampen our spirits.
 After the prayers, we stayed to socialize. Can you believe that these men were not as loud when we were praying? Go figure!
We were all so happy to see and talk to each other again. I think it was almost 2 pm when we finished and we all cannot wait for next year's rally which will be on October 13, 2018. Mark your calendars!
I want to thank each and everyone of the participants in my rally. I want to especially thank Gus for all the help he did. Thank you Gus, Baby & Ed for your help! Thank you all! You guys are the best! Thank you God and the Blessed Mother for another successful rally!
OMG! On the way back to our cars, the rain poured! God gave us a sprinkle of " Holy Water" in the form of rain! We truly received our blessing that day!
May God bless America and the whole world! May God bless all of us!

SATURDAY TIDBITS SEPTEMBER 12, 2015

Saturday tidbits. First of all, why on Saturday?  Don't you have anything better to do than sit on the computer pecking on the keyboard?  Don't you have any dates? What are tidbits? Goodness gracious! Why are you bombarding me with questions? Yes, you are right...I do not have anything better to do!

Tidbits...any juicy news......

Let me see....Do you know how to correctly measure a cap for the fireplace? One has to climb the roof and measure the length and the width of the fireplace. There are many different fireplace diameters in the store, 9" by 13", 13" by 13" etc....wow! Now you think you are an expert on fireplace caps now? Hehehehe No, there was something new I learned again! 

Did you know that eating in a fast food place is not that cheap anymore?  Please do not use the word cheap. What word am I suppose to use? Inexpensive! OMG! Aren't those words synonymous? Yes, but inexpensive has more class! Yuck! I can use any word I want to use! Do you have a problem with that? My, my, my, testy! testy! testy! Why did you not use coupons? I forgot them at home! Oh, well. Lesson learned: Do not leave home without your coupons! Ha! Ha! Ha! El cheapo! 

We parted ways with our 2002 Ford Focus ( yes, you got that right! 2002 ) after around 150,000 miles today..... driven around town. long distance travel, work and pleasure. It was sad....for the Focus had been with us through the hot wave or the cold wave, whether sleet, snow, rain or sun. It had been a dependable mode of transportation for us and had been with us for over a decade. Can you imagine that...a small, no nonsense car driven for over a decade. Sure, it had some problems but we were able to get it fix and get it going again and again. Until it's last breath, it managed to drive home and died on us on our garage and not on a street or a forsaken place. Goodbye, our faithful and dependable Focus. I really thank God for sending us a very reliable and a dependable Focus! I hope and pray that our other cars will also be dependable and will last for a long time!

Since it is Saturday and Sunday, it is time to feed our soul.  We went to the Saturday mass and it was raining, by the time the mass was over, the sun was shining brightly! We feel really blessed and hope and pray that everyone will have a blessed, safe and a happy weekend.

May God bless all of us!

WEDNESDAY " THE HUMP" DAY JUNE 10, 2015

How did hump day for Wednesday originate? Where did it start? Who started it? OMG! You ask a lot of questions!!! If you are so inquisitive, why don't you research it?  I can't. Why not? Well...look at what time it is....10:30 at night...too late...I need my beauty sleep. My! My! My! What beauty sleep? You are already past that, missy! Yikes! You hurt my feelings! What? Do you have that? He! He! He! I am sorry but I could not resist. Back to my subject...

Why can't Wednesday be called...the pinnacle day?  Too deep of a word!  How about the hill? That does not sound too good, besides you need to say top of the hill...too many words! How about the peak? Peak of what? Someone must have seen a camel and started to utter that word. +Hump day sounds a sleazy, sexy word. It must have originated from a man! Why do you say that? Man usually have a dirty mind that belongs to the gutter. Have you ever heard a woman say anything sleazy or dirty? Of course not! There you go! I rest my case! Okay, does anyone know who, what, where, how the hump day originated for Wednesday? 

On the other hand, it just sounds fitting to call it the hump day, because it is the middle of the work week, Monday to Friday. Workers start to climb on Monday and Tuesday and reaches the top of the hill or the peak and start their descent on Thursday and Friday to reach the weekend. That makes sense, does it not? Yes it does, but how about those that have different work days that include Saturdays and Sundays? Then the third day of their work week will be the hump day! How about those that work seven days a week, what is their hump day? The fourth day? Wow! What did I started? I was talking about the normal, regular people that work on Monday to Friday. Do you mean that the other people are not normal? No, that is not what I mean. Help, somebody help me! Ha! Ha! Ha! Goodness gracious, I give up. Why did I even blog about this? Because you are nincompoop! Wow! I have not used that word for a long time! Thank you! 

Well, well, well, two more days people, and it is all fun! fun! fun! Sorry, but why wait for the week end to have fun?  Because you can sleep late the next day! Any other questions? Then let us call it quits since it is getting late. Take care and good night!!!

Happy Saturday

What is happy with Saturday? Well, you are alive, right? Yes? You can see, right? Yes? You can hear, right? Okay, I get it!

The day started right with breakfast, and getting dressed to see a friend that fell and banged his head on the floor last Monday. Diagnosis was aneurysm and he was taken off from life support on Wednesday. A friend of ours went to visit him yesterday, he was transferred from ICU and was still comatose. When we arrived in the hospital, we asked the receptionist his room number. She asked if we were family which we said," friends." She told us we have to talk to the family! We called one of our friends who told us he passed away last night! Is that what they usually say in the hospital if a person is gone? Why can't they just say the bad news? I do not know. And we did not even had any hint of what is going on! We thought that he was just really bad that is why they are not letting people visit him! Little did we know that he was gone! And to think that we were in his table on a party last Saturday!! He even requested to be with us on the same table!! Goodness gracious!!! One da, you are here, next day, you are gone!!! He is just in his early 70's!! He is still very young! Please pray for him!!!

Do you believe that on our way back home that our car would not start? Dead battery!! We were sooo glad that we got a booster...and a new battery had to be installed!!! Ayayay!!!! More moolah to fork out!!! Oh, well, at least it was still daytime when that happened!

We were on our way home, when we passed Popeye chicken in Oak Park. I have not had any for a long time, so we stopped to get some. When we arrived home and started to eat, we found out that we were shorted by an order of large fries!!! Dumbo!!! How come I did not check the bag??? I usually check it!! And this place is more than 30 minutes away from us!!! Yikes!! I was going to call the place but there is no phone # on the receipt! Finally got the telephone #, but there was no answer! I also found out that this place has had quite a few of missed items in the order! Lesson learned: Always check your order before leaving!!! It is only probably $2. 39 for the fries, but if they kept on doing that, that is a lot of money that the management can pocket from the customers!!! I will keep on trying to call them even though it might be awhile before I probably go that way! I was sooo disappointed that I did not have the cajun fries! Oh, well, less calories! The chicken and cajun rice were really good!!!

So, you are right, it is a happy and glorious Saturday, after all!! Have a nice weekend, everyone!!! May God bless all of us!!!!
