I liked the sandwich story.

I'm torn about the podcast vs newsletter question. Your writing style is so enjoyable; I'd miss it. I rarely miss an episode of a podcast I enjoy, though.

1. All the young families at Mass have me slack-jawed.

2. When I was a young lad everyone was together at Nana and Papa’s house for holidays. And those who didn’t/couldn’t come, we visited.

3. Absolutely!

1. The Martin family. Five girls who lived to adulthood, and they all became Carmelite nuns. That’s parenting goals right there.

Also, in answer to the question in your post, I almost never listen to podcasts. I know many people appreciate them, but I’m a very visual person and appreciate reading words on a screen. I get very distracted while listening to something like a podcast, and half the time I keep backing it up to hear what I missed.

I think Léonie became a Visita done, but regardless, yes, a wonderful family.

Oh yes, my bad. Leonine was a Visitandine, but all five girls became /nuns/.
