Arianna's First Communion

Grey, cool.

A small gathering: Aunt Myra and Uncle Lester, Ann (Arianna's Godmother), Phil, and Madeline Storm, Uncle Bruce (in town to say good-bye to David, who died Friday afternoon)

Mass at 10 o'clock, then we returned to the house to open a few gifts, after which we went to brunch.

Noch einmal

This is my fourth attempt at writing in this medium. All others have been aborted. I suspect my day-to-day involvement with electronic publishing at my job more than likely diminishes my ethusiasm to sit at home in front of a PC.
