Like most of the nation, Nebraska has been caught up in
the POLAR VORTEX!
Things are looking up though as temps tomorrow
are supposed to be in the 40s and potential 50s
on the weekend!
Yippee Skippee!

| Their Beacon of Light stocking caps |
for the March for Life was an amazing experience for her!
The March for Life topped her list of cool things about the trip.
Riding the Metro in DC was at the bottom of the list!

Philadelphia 30 years ago, I sympathized.
I walked around in a daze trying to navigate the el system.
The Pius students didn't know how to pay for the Metro, how to get
through to get on the Metro, where to
get off and where to go once they got to their stops AND hearing
get off and where to go once they got to their stops AND hearing
other riders complain about all these students
did not help!
They were on the go from 5:30 AM until 8:30 or 9 or later
every single night!
Once they left the hotel at 6:30 or 7 AM, they didn't return
until at least 8:30 PM.
They attended Mass every day at the largest and most
beautiful Cathedrals!
They visited Arlington cemetery and chatted with our
own Representative Fortenberry at the Capitol
and most importantly, they stood up and
marched for life!
Due to impending bad weather and road closures
in Pennsylvania, they skipped sightseeing in Gettysburg and
departed for home early!
departed for home early!
The buses were able to make it through PA before the
interstate closed and arrived home a mere 24 hours
after departing Washington DC.
The bus ride was long!
It was great trip for her in so many ways
and she wants to go again next year!
PLUS -- she wants me to go along as a chaperone!
Hmmm- just wondering - do you think I could fly out and meet them there?
