Updated: July 7, 2025

The presents just keep coming;  the 13-year-old twins gifted us today, two illustrations;

1.  Granny's Rose Garden including Mary Mother's Gtotto,  the Living Rosary,  Saint Francis Sanctuary abd the Serenity Pergola 

2. The second one starts with Genesis 1:11-13 showcasing various plants in Granny's wildlife garden. 

Father's Day Present 

One of the twins designed and built a crown for the Blessed Virgin Mary and a beautiful bouquet of roses.  

The twin's bouquet next to a fresh bouquet at church.

But this was not just any statue of Mary.  This one resides at Granny's Rose Garden:  Mother Mary's Grotto, which anchors a Living Rosary.

The second one wrote a number of thoughts in strips of paper and put them in a Mason Jar. These are to be read daily and or as needed.  These thoughts are insightful and funny.

These are the first thoughts in Pappy's Awesome Jar I've read so far.

"If I had a dollar for every time you made me smile, I'd be richar than ........ a king"


"Thank you for all the jokes that make you so happy. Seeing your joy is contagious
Even when the punch line goes over our heads sometimes."


"Your love shines so brightly I see how you sometimes dim your own sadness to keep us warm thank you."


"Your so smart I'm pretty sure your secretly Wikipedia in human form... shhh I won't tell"





"It means so much that you always show up for me no matter what."


"You are an example of true selflessness."

"Your love for coffee fuels your brilliant mind; then produces these funny jokes."

"I'm still trying to figure out if that was a joke or you just being brilliant "

"You make me feel so supported in my running, and everything else in life."
