A Valentine From Aunt Bea
On Facebook, Aunt Bea wished you a Happy Valentine’s Day. 🙂 She started a new job today and is VERY excited about it. She looks FANTASTIC too!
A Roman Holiday, Part V
I’d better go to the bathroom again, said Prudy. She got up and left the table. All at once, Bea heard the text tone jingle on her phone. She scurried into her purse to answer it. “It’s Dad reminding us to come right home after school,” said Bea. They were sitting in the school newspaper…
A Roman Holiday, Part IV
“My feet are getting tired,” complained Purity. “Can we ride in one of those?” She pointed to the several horse drawn carriages parked nearby. “Why not,” said Prudy. They went to the nicest looking one and paid the driver. Before long, they were trotting along as the eternal city whizzed by. They drove by the…
A Roman Holiday, Part III
They spent several minutes in the church. It wasn’t very crowded as Bea had chosen a weekday to have their meeting. The ceiling was so ornate. Even the mosaic floor was amazing to look at. They went to the left side of the church and looked at the gruesome sight of the head of St….
A Roman Holiday: Part II
“Nothing is happening”… whispered Purity. “Why aren’t we in Rome yet? Where is Prudence?” “The magic is in the details Purity, be patient,” said Bea. Bea turned back to her computer screen.

A Roman Holiday, Part I
Bea sat at her computer screen. She had NO idea what to write. She had been asked to create an article for the school newspaper about the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday. “What can I write that hasn’t already been said?” Bea asked herself. As a freshman, she so wanted to impress her editor again. And…
I ❤️ Paris Because You Are Near
Bea, Do you know why I went to Paris? I did not have to. I could have saved the money or just spend a few more days in Ireland or Scotland. I went to Paris so I would be able to show it to YOU someday. And all the while I was there, as I…
My Heart Will Go On
Look what I found Purity – you drew it for me several years ago. You were so proud that you drew it freehand. And I was so impressed. Yes, I still have it. I put it up in my office/second guest room to remind myself to use it on the website at some point. Two…
Valentine’s Party Day
Today we had our class party. We have the next four days off, so we needed to celebrate today. The kids had fun, of course. They exchanged their valentines and ate all kinds of junk. I did not touch ONE chip. Aren’t you proud of me?! I am! And I got all kinds of gifts:…
Baby Day
At the gym tonight, we had baby day. We had to pick up a baby bar bell and carry it throughout our workout. If we dropped it – burpees. And we all hate those, right! Ugh! It was actually a pretty good workout. No one dropped their “baby.” Thank God! Here’s Whitney Houston singing “I’m…
