Wait, so you're leaving?! I thought you were staying! We need to CATCH UP woman! Ha!
And I love the Packers tributes! Church gets cancelled for games, seriously?! : D
lol!!!
did you write these? or is it just a coincidence that our family can relate to ... well ... all of those?
i suppose!
You brought me back to my childhood - what fun!! Good thing we left Wisconsin long enough to appreciate the memories. Although I do remember making your halloween costumes to fit over winter coats - One reason I LOVED Indiana.
I agree with Talia...we WILL MISS YOU during your stay in Duluth. Although you will still bleed Green & Gold even IF he who can not be named is accepted to the Minnesoooooooota Vikings.
Hey Steph...in Indiana mass was cancelled (on Saturday evenings only) for home IU games. At least at St. Paul.
I have never heard of a mass being cancelled for a Packer Game...but not many go to the late Sunday mass or they leave early.
No wonder we need more people like Kate to spread the word & take it seriously!!!! Ok, I wasn't going to give my opinion but it was relative to the author of this blog. Love ya Kate!!
