Life at Nazareth Home Clifton is good. The rooms are simple but nice, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is really good. And REALLY plentiful! We keep asking the kitchen crew to lessen the amount of food they put on the plates when serving us. Here is a photo of my choice for dinner tonight: taco salad, dirty rice, and refried beans–and way too much of it!
Our large extended family has a long tradition, started by the Dittmeier grandparents, of getting together. My visits to the United States were often occasions for such gatherings, and my recent return to the U.S. became an opportunity for the cousins to come together.
Yesterday the 1978 graduating class of Angela Merici High School gathered at Holy Cross High School to dedicate a room the class had furnished. Holy Cross is the result of a merger between Angela Merici and Bishop David High School. I was invited and it was a great evening with the women who were students when I was at Angela Merici during the 1970s and 1980s. Those were really great years for me.
Mike is married to my sister Mary and his mother died last week. Rosie is her name, and although not Catholic, she had asked if I would have a funeral service for her. I was most happy to do that and this afternoon we had a gravesite service and then the family gathered at Mike and Mary’s home. We have a wonderful family and it is exactly for events like this with family that I have returned from Cambodia. Here are some photos of some of our family gathered today.
