Happy New Year

I just wanted to take the time to wish all you wonderful readers a Happy New Year and all good things in the coming months. It’s hard to imagine 2025, it seemed to come toward me like a freight train and now here it is.

What does the year hold for you? I’ve already done a bit of a list, and then tried to pare it down to a manageable size. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge optimist, but I do tend to overthink what can/will happen. 🙂

I’m praying for more peace in the world, less strife and wars, fewer conflicts. Let’s work together to make it all work.

The Conclave – movie

Conclave': A Fly on the Wall Inside the Secret Process to ...

The Pope has died and a new one must be appointed. Father Lawrence has been given the task to organize the conclave and call in the cardinals to make the decision. Ralph Fienes is at his best in this story about the secret process in the Catholic Church of gaining support for the next leader of the church. He is busy corralling, herding, organizing, and sourcing out the scandals that continue to erupt about the various men who wish to be elected.

The ending is a total surprise, catching most of the audience unawares, but the winner of the vote for Pope chooses the name Innocent, so take that as your clue. It was a good movie. I enjoyed it.

Trip to Disneyland

We made a trip to Disneyland, Anaheim, a few weeks ago. It was so much fun, and totally exhausting, right? Here are some pictures from Star Wars, Galaxy’s Edge.

Storm trooper – he was calling to the crowd below that they had been informed of insurgents and we were to keep walking and not do anything suspicious. Our grandsons loved it.

Have you ever been there? It is an amazing place, so much imagination and art work combined.
