Paula's Christmas tree
For about a year Paula has been asking me to help her edit her videos. I thought it would be a simple task to download them from her Android phone to her Chrome Book. NOT!
On Saturday, we tried but didn't get very far: I don't know if it is even possible. After fumbling for a while we gave up. I think there is a solution but we'll figure it out another time.
Paula heated up a really yummy Dr. Oetker pizza and we watched a really excellent documentary ( The Last Days ) by Stephen Spielberg. Trailer here The film traces the compelling experiences of five Hungarian Holocaust survivors who fell victim to Adolf Hitler’s brutal war against the Jews during the final days of World War II.
This recent, show of hatred for the Jewish people, especially within Universities, and not just students but professors as well, makes me think that this generation knows very little about the horrors of the holocaust. Either that or they are terribly cold-hearted. I wonder if our High school students even take history anymore.
Sunday, December 11,
Barb and I went to 9:AM mass at Saint Monica Catholic Church. We were blessed to have Bishop Yvan Mathieu celebrate Mass along with Fr. Champoux and Deacon Andre. In his homily, Bishop Yvan spoke about the Saint Monica Parish Advent Mission and our Lady of Guadalupe I love Bishop Yvan. He is so easy to listen to and he's funny. I love that
Information re. the Mission and Our Lady of Guadalupe

Parish Hall
After mass, all were invited downstairs to the recently renovated parish hall for a chance to meet the bishop and have coffee and tea and yummy treats, which included homemade donuts like our mom made for us when we were kids. I miss you Mom!
After mass, we went back to Paula's for breakfast
Thanks, Paula and Barb!
ps. I don't know why I didn't take any pictures at Paula's, (well, except for the tree )
