Izzy & Lizzie In VA

Sent to someone else... copied here.

We visited a small church in Mt. Airy, NC for Saturday Mass last week. They had a piano player playing from what must have been "The Incredibly High Soprano Songbook for the Operatic Crowd." Even Izzy (a tenor) couldn't keep up with the melody line. The homily was pretty good, though--a nice explanation of Corpus Christi and adoration; I guess there are always tradeoffs.

We had great fun riding around on the bike in Western Virginia--there was one stretch where Izzy did an amazing job when the pavement ended and we had about 10 miles of gravel, with many, many switchbacks going first up, then down the mountain. We'd been out looking at covered bridges, and were headed back for a cookout, then looking at stars.

Much mush on our annual cabin trip...
