Wintertime

 A couple things from a rather ordinary (whatever that means!) January weekend.

First, after quite a few days without snow we had a few hours on Sunday of one of those winter wonderland types-big, wet flakes leaving every branch, large or small, balancing an inch of snow.

Secondly, we're having a mid-winter fun contest, matching baby pictures with the names of the sisters.

38 sisters entered the "You must have been a beautiful baby" contest. The photos are arranged in groups of seven or eight, to be matched with the names of the sisters in the group. Additionally, donations are being collected that will benefit one of Erie's weekly "warming centers"--overnight accommodations for homeless/street people when the standard places are filled during the winter. One of our Catholic parishes, St. John's, is in the program and their four weeks are run by two gals that went to Villa and St. Ben's, two of Erie's Catholic high schools for girls. With our donations they will be able to serve a breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, along with providing gloves and hand warmers. Can you tell who's who in this list?
