Frank built us this nice oak bench from trees cut at our last project.

 

  

Raf completed his four year degree in 3 2/3 years.

 

He, Greg, Frank and I installed a new ceiling in our basement.

 

At lunch, Raf cut a cake for us all.

We'll plan a graduation party next month.

 

HERE'S A CURIOUS THOUGHT.

Maybe the single most important person in the 20th century's long struggle against communism wasn't Ronald Reagan. Maybe it wasn't Karol Wojtyla or Margaret Thatcher, Lech Walesa or Václav Havel, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn or Mikhail Gorbachev. Maybe it wasn't anyone whose name might leap to a cold warrior's mind--for the most important figure in that long, dark struggle might have been a 10-year-old girl named Lucia dos Santos.

You remember her, of course. It was Lucia who went out one day in 1917 with her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Martos to tend the family's sheep--and ended up having a talk about Godless Russia with the Blessed Virgin Mary near a little place in northern Portugal called Fatima.

Or do you remember her? Lucia dos Santos died on Sunday, February 13, at age 97. And for much of her life, cloistered in her Carmelite convent in Portugal, ... from the Weekly Standard.

 

 

 

Enjoy the last days of winter!
