Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival

Weeding Out and Trading

I added a new magnet to my collection yesterday, a wooden fork.  I didn't buy this magnet;  the only thing I buy during Lent is food.  I traded this set to Mom for it. Mom uses magnets as magnets, but she may use this set as a decoration.  I bought it mostly for the bunch of grapes, but now that I have a vintage bunch of purple grapes magnet, I don't need  this set any more.
I've also updated my catalog.  Rather than removing the set I traded, I simply added the words,
No longer in collection.  Traded to Mom on March 1st, 2013 for wooden fork magnet.

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...
