Wow, what a trip!

First off, I had the MOST INCREDIBLE trip to Belleville, Ill. and St. Louis last week-end! I will be posting pix SOON. I am trying to sort the gazillions I made! (I can't load them NOW b/c I am on my BRAND NEW LAPTOP COMPUTER! WHOOPEE!)...anyway, back to the week-end---well, how can one adequately write about EXPERIENCE? Only the 20 people who were along with me can know (right, my new Catholic friends?!). Let me just say it was a GOD experience in many ways as well as a FUN week-end and lots of in between!!!! It was just awesome and I'll never forget one minute of it. We did so much and experienced so many things together! All I can say to try to explain it, is that when we drove up we saw, not ONE rainbow in the sky, not TWO rainbows, but THREE incredible rainbows that miraculously appeared at JUST THE EXACT moment that we drove up! (I haven't seen a rainbow like those since I was in Hawaii!). Yes, you might say, God was welcoming us for an incredible week-end! I KNOW you're dying to see PIX, (they are INCREDIBLE!) but I have to load those from my computer upstairs and I'm down here learning about my brand new DELL and listening to WONDER PETS as Lily is singing along with the show! HAHA.......MORE TO COME (I promise!).....To my new friends??? I love you and miss you all! Hugs! "THE METHODIST GIRL"! HA

P.S. I had the wrong link for the shrine below. SORRY! I was in such a hurry I didn't check my link! So, here's the right one. More pix to come. STILL going thro them! (the RIGHT link: Click here: National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows) Yes, I changed it below, too!
