Happy Birthday, Rafaela Sanchez!

Happy Birthday, Monica!

How appropriate you should be born on the Feast of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and on the anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake.

You are a soft, delicate flower, just like an earthquake, yet you have a love for Our Lord and his Blessed Mother like St. Margaret Mary.

God bless you on your birthday. You Mom and Dad love you very much.

Sometimes.

Most of the time.

Just where does your personality come from?

At least I did not misspell YOUR name.

Server Discipline At Mission San Juan Bautista...

is harsh, swift, and severe.

MC: "Please say your Confiteor...."

Servers: "Confiteor deus..."

MC: "That's DEO, you insolent pup!"

Servers: "Please, Sir!"

MC: "You'll pay for your inattention!"

No Servers were harmed in the making of this small photo essay. Except for the two pictured.

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve around here on the Central Coast of California was a pleasant experience, as we were invited to a Bon Fire and Weenie Roast (insert your own jokes here) at the house of some friends near Salinas. Great company and Great Food!

The fire was kept going by just about all the kids who came.

There is nothing like bouncing on a Trampoline at 8 PM at night!

Thank you Flanders Family for a great time!

Yet MORE Limits On Our Constitutional Rights

And the So-called U.N. does nothing....

Here is a sign that was posted at the Swank Farm Corn Maze (Maize?!?) in Hollister, CA.

And yet Corn was thrown at a Spouse. We won't say who, but her name sounds like Schmeather.

No Assault charges were filed, and no one was arraigned in Superior Court, County of Los Angeles.
