I'd like to read.  Thank God, many of them are available
online for free.}



"Francie Nolan" Trees



There are several "Francie Nolan" trees outside my window. Oh, that 

is not their official, botanical name. It is what I call them because that
is the species of tree Betty Smith used to symbolize Francie Nolan in
"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn."
Sometimes, when I look at those trees, I imagine that they are
palm trees on a tropical island. And, in fact, they are on an island.
After all, Brooklyn is, geographically, a part of Long Island.

Expanding My Collection

I've expanded my Rosary Pictures collection to include icons.
I may, at some future time, also include online images of stained glass windows.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
