Our formation weekend was cancelled, so the Trinity homilies will need to wait…until the actual Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, when maybe we’ll get a chance to dust them off and use them. We learned that we’ll likely be in our home parishes for the Christmas octave, and that we should “probably be prepared to preach,” so we’ve got that to look forward to. I’ve also been penciled in for a house blessing, too.
Spent the weekend moving our oldest daughter and her family into their new house, which was a lot of fun. Many hands and all that. Getting someone from an apartment to a house is busy, but not a tremendous amount of stuff. Moving from a house to another house is another story and they’ll be on their own for that one. The grandchildren and cats have more space to run and everyone can spread out a little. Everyone’s over the moon, them most of all (as you’d expect).
Bit of travel next week for work, which is fine. I have plenty to read en route and it will be nice to see lots of people in person instead of via Teams and Zoom.
Definitely looking and feeling like Fall. The leaves are changing in earnest and the temps are steadily falling. Still plenty of bugs out and about. There’s been a bit of frost in the morning, but no hard freeze as of yet. The flowers are basically done, except for some scattered asters here and there and a few mistflowers. Right now it’s gray and overcast too, so the vibe is nearly perfect. I wish things were a tad less busy for a minute or two, but here we are.
