Special Pictures

Caught my cat Prince cuddling a pink toy pony one day.  I am so thankful to have been blessed with such an adorable little pet!

Beautiful multi-colored little patch of light reflecting off my silvery St. Benedict crucifix.

My little brother Timothy dressing up as a priest. I made him a cassock with an extra large black t-shirt with a taped on white square of paper for a collar and let him hold one of my breviaries.

Here “Fr. Tim” celebrates a Pentecost Mass. Over his alb (see below) he wears a red chasuble I made from an old red fleece throw, and underneath a strip of the same material as a stole and a cincture (see below). The altar is an upside down storage bin with a white tablecloth over it, the paten is a small china tea saucer wrapped in tin foil, the host is a white paper circle with a faintly penciled cross in the center, the chalice is his parents’ wedding cup, and the thing on top of it (I forget the name of it) is a square of cardboard covered in red construction paper.

Here I made him an alb from an extra large white t-shirt, a stole from a strip of purplish tissue paper, and a cincture from a bit of yellow rope. He poses as though giving absolution.

Me playing with my baby brother James.

Two dogs we rescued off the streets a while ago: the shaggy Mr. Wickett and the sleek Mrs. Ahsoka. They had some adorable puppies, but I didn’t get to save pictures of them before we sold off this little dog family.

A lovely picture of Jesus I found recently.

James at birth.
