St Patrick Chaplets for Salt and Light Radio Spring Pledge Drive March 16-18, 2022    The  chaplet components have an interesting history. The St Patrick medal and crucifix were part of the treasure box. The rock chips and stones were given to Marie Edwards by my friend Mary Russell a gifted artist, at her passing a few years ago. I have made several attempts to honor my friend by making something beautiful, meaningful, or useful. After much aggravation, many failed attempts at chain rosaries and jewelry, I set the many pounds of stones and chips aside until a better purpose came to light. Most of the beads were provided by Judy Blacksmith. She has spent many years making beautiful chain rosaries until arthritis made the process impossible. We are grateful that these gifts have found their way into beautiful sacramentals.       The Treasure Box, in truth, is a tackle box. The brown and tan colors and design is reminiscent of the 1970s.

Love the new job!!! An I do mean love it, the people I work with are great and I am challenged every day to learn something new. I leave for training in two weeks. I was concerned about how I was going to eat. And stay safe and gluten free, I very much did not want to get sick and miss any of the training.

Wow what a crazy few days… OK more like two weeks. In my last post, I mentioned that the family was experiencing a virus and I was grateful not to, well that quickly changed. I was very sick for a bit more than a week. I did not go to work much that week either. Lots of sleep, tissues and coughing. I am much better now and have just completed the last week of the Fall 2007 Semester at Boise State University. It has been a good semester at the Culinary Arts program. It will also be my last semester at BSU. As of 1/2/08 I will be working for RVP Systems of Boise, Idaho. I will be a POS Installation Technician. What is a POS ? you say. You know that computer that your servers at your favorite restaurant type in your order? That is a POS system. I will have the privilege of creating the database that each restaurant uses and installing them the hardware, training the clients to use them. I will have lots of technical stuff to learn in the next few weeks but it will be very cool t...
