This morning we went to 6:15 Mass, which would be 5:15 at home. The Church we have been going to is St. Lucies in Port St. Lucie. It was dark when we arrived, and as the sun came up it illuminated the window on the Northeast side of the Church. The Crucifixion appeared as in a slide show, a little bit at a time. Over forty minutes time the whole window was revealed. Isn't out God awesome the way he makes us appreciate sunrises inside and out of a church.

After church we went to Jan's in Jensen's Beach for breakfast. Great eggs Benedict and Judy had a Mexican omelet that she said was excellent. Then we drove to Fort Pierce along the Indian River Road. it is just the best drive. A narrow road but some really beautiful homes on one side and then this really pretty river on the other and an occasional glimpse of the ocean in the distance. If you are in this area, remember Jan's for breakfast, Mulligan's - across the street - for lunch (try the conch fritters) and a drive along the river road.

Friday evening we drove over to Orlando to see a concert by Celtic Women.(and our sister Suzanne and her husband, Jim of course). A couple of times I had seen them briefly on PBS, but was not too impressed and never watched more than a couple of minutes. Bill had given Judy the tickets for her and I as a Christmas gift and it wasn't a performance I was looking forward too. Wow! Was I wrong, they are amazing, their voices were so pure and the sprite who plays the fiddle and dances was unbelievable. She never missed a note as she skipped and danced around the stage. The band that supports them is genius, especially the drummers and the pipers. Some of the highlights were the fiddler and a male Irish step dancer(think Riverdance) dancing together, she playing the whole time, one of the singers singing "You'll Never Walk Alone and a Scottish and Irish bagpiper playing "Amazing Grace.". If they come to your town GO.

Saturday morning, niece Mary joined the three sisters on a Boat ride through the lakes at Winter Park. Another must-do. Beautiful, relaxing and informational. We then went to one of my favorite stores: Pottery Barn. Lovely. As we were walking there, we saw a Bentley Automobile. This is not a car but an automobile. Very enjoyable day.

One day last week, we were driving through Fort Pierce on a detour when we saw a sign that said: Lipschitz and DiMaggio. Which made me consider what is "Lipschitz", someone who is a 'potty mouth', tells dirty stories, uses brown lipstick, or possibly just a Jewish attorney? I know I have a weird sense-of-humor and my mind sometimes wanders onto strange ideas, but it keeps my mind active and at this stage any little thing helps!
