Week Past 07/02-07/08/07
Added some plants in front of the house. It's still planting and landscaping that's taking most of our downtime. I've finally did some dent at the back after working on it this past two weeks. I was able to edge pave and put a mulch on it. Menard's was having a sale on it's paver and mulch. Pic at left shows the development.
Sat 07/07 we went to George and Mikki's home blessing at Rosemount. Food was great like pancit Malabon, binagoongan, kare-kare, sisig, relleno, ginaataan and tupig to name a few. There's nothing like Filipino dishes cooked home style. There was even gulaman for beverage. My Dad and Mom enjoyed it and was able to meet some of our friends' parents. Their peers.Sun 07/08 I took the 8:00 am mass at St Peter's in Richfield so I could be at work by 9:00 am. I just observed that there were only 2 or 3 kids (12 and below) in attendance. Mostly elderly couples, me included :). We were about 100 or so parishioners. It just caught my attention because at Farmington and Prior Lake there would at least be a "sprinkling" of young couples with their toddlers in tow at the same mass schedule. Just proves that St Peter's surrounding community is "old". The church itself by design can be circa 70's. I have to check on that. Writing this entry, I also remembered that the priest who officiated the mass must be retired. Walking, or should I say shuffling with his cane, he was being assisted by another priest to walk and climb the three steps going up the altar. Opening the mass he said, "Fear not it is I". That elicited laughter from the congregation. I think they "aged" with the priest.
