Sally will have the veteran pictures uploaded today. She mumbled something about bandwidth or wavelengths earlier; I think it’s an excuse to get on the computer again later!
We were talking about World War II at the Missionaries of the Poor this morning. A young Brother from Kenya asked about Belgium, because they’re playing a soccer game today, and a man and I explained about the German attacks and the Battle of the Bulge. The man - didn’t catch his name, he goes to another parish - had actually been to Russia and seen some of the battlefields there.
I go to the store and upon my return I find the castle vacant and only a few dust bunnies lurking in nooks and crannies (not to be confused with dust rabbitoids which are, umm, different..)
My dad was at the Battle of the Bulge, at the ripe old age of twenty-one.
