This and that.

I ordered a lovely book about St. Therese and it was returned to the online book seller as "undeliverable." Excuse me? I have received at least 100 books at my home address from this seller for the past 5 years. I could easily reorder the book (my credit card has already been adjusted) but I can't figure out why the parcel couldn't be delivered. Hmph!

However, watching the Olympics last night (ice dancing, not my favorite but we won GOLD!) I noticed the Russian couple had jackets emblazoned with eagles. It took me back 35 years to a British docudrama that my mother and I watched called "Fall of Eagles." Yes, Amazon has it in stock and it was even affordable. So I treated myself and purchased it. I hope it's as good as I remember it to be. I also ordered a book called "The Duchess of Duke Street." My mom loved the show but the DVD set was $100+ dollars - a bit rich for me! The used book was $4.95.

Off to a birthday party tonight after Mass and tomorrow is parish council so I might see you again Thursday.

Don't get discouraged - slow and steady is the pace for Lent!
