St. Ignatius

I've been thinking of when we went to the mission at St. Ignatius in western Montana on our motor cycles. Found this video on U tube with western music. It's lovely others of the church at the mission that's all I knew about St. Ignatius until I discovered a priest on the catholic channel talking about the principals of that St. I'm not catholic so I hope that's the correct term.

I looked up more info. on the web. and St. Ignatius goes way back in time to like the 13th or 14th century I've learned a lot! Got some good insight and things to think about of a spiritual nature. I'm happy to say I learned something this week of value!

St. Ignatius is near Flat head lake not far from Glacier Montana.

Veterans Day Activities

There is no school here for Veteran's day the kids in the local elementary school did a program a singing concert to honor the Veteran's Thursday evening our grand son sang and I saw some of the neighborhood kids in it too.

Friday in the area there is a parade mid day the local news has been talking about it this week. Area cafes have free meals for Veterans too. We are thinking of the ones coming home for the holidays this year! Yea and thank you to all the Veterans!

Note tried to make this red white and blue that seems to be broken today. Bummer!

Happy Feet

"For just as strolling, walking, and running are physical exercises, so spiritual exercises are methods of preparing and disposing the soul to free itself from all inordinate attachments, and after accomplishing this, of seeking and discovering the Divine Will regarding the disposition of one's life, thus insuring the salvation of his soul." St. Ignatius of Loyola


Time for my walk and raking leaves to think on some of these things today I'm considering options ideas and fun things to put on the schedule!


I'm assembling some ideas for a fun girls night in pedicures getting a basket, tray of things for these and the happy feet movie would be fun, seeing the new Happy Feet 2 movie would be awesome to do with the kids or grand kids too. Maybe give mom a night off for a nice long soak in the tub.

Working Out Fall

Tweaking my Fall work out routines as the days are cooler and day light savings time has ended I am seeing the need for more indoor working out routines. Today is great leaves to be raked awaiting the descent from the trees. Fall color is in it's peek around here. I've adopted our Total Gym  and have been using it; I threatened to paint it pink, it's great for my upper arm workout and modified push ups and pull down for my lats. Using it and an older style exercise bike I found at a great price in a yard sale last summer. It's great on days that it's too hot cold or my foot bothers me and walking is not as easy. 


The days and times I do my daily walks it's fun I see birds squirrels and deer on my route by our house.  Pumpkins are vanishing from door steps of neighbors. Our grand kids love the flag foot, basket ball and volley ball fall season sports activities are upon us.  


We did not buy a bag of candy this year as we've not had any door knockers here the past few years; they've migrated to the down town businesses or private parties or at collage campus for a canned food donation for the food bank kids can go door to door at the dorm for candy and warmth you can't beat that! We do not need the candy in the house. 


We are enjoying the 50* weather focusing on the positive things here helps. I'm trying to revamp my cyber reminder card for Spa Week and create baskets for that in them like foot pampering list that's being assembled in my mind. Plus a gratitude list is about to begin a great month to focus on that. 


I took a break from this and blogged on the D-life web site for a while. 
I'm on Facebook.
