Finally done! I made a "quilt for the Mt. Aviat Academy auction". Quilting is a hobby I enjoy, but I am definitely an amateur on a good day.

I hope the end user is kind and enjoys it as much as I did making it!


If I sound pretentious assuming it will sell, I have that covered. I am making my brothers bid on it anonymously…best siblings ever!



Just 'One of Lauri's' many hobbies and talents... 🍀

Coolest Christmas gift ever!

And spending the afternoon with Taylor installing it was a bonus. Love it!   💚

Spending the day with more Kelleher's. Christine and her daughter showed us a side of Cobh that we would never have experienced. Thank you Nadine! And an impromtu visit to Kathleen Kelleher - only to learn,

(Irene & John) my grandparents and mom (JOAN) made an impromptu visit to her home in 1983. 🍀

💚 More of Lauri's Hobbies & Interests... of which she had so many! 💚


Busy, exhausting and satisfying weekend. Finished the Adirondack chairs; which led to refinishing the bench and side table; which led to sanding a wicker set and adding a fresh coat of paint; which led to sanding and painting new shelves for the garage; which led to repairing the outdoor dining chairs and one umbrella; which led to prepping the garden with fresh soil; which prompted Nikki to ask -

Mom, have we ever mixed cement? The answer is NO, which Nikki ignored. 🍀

🍀 🍀 🍀

So we made 3 poles for Mila’s party; which made me wonder... 💭 uh'

...what can we do with 4 sets of old windows and a shabby greenhouse frame?

Nikki - Have we ever re-glazed glass? 💚














Lauri loved her backyard pool. 🍀 

Family gathering with lots of...

💚fun 💚 food 💚 family !

OH! and lots of cousins...💚

     What a great weekend. 💚

Taylor & Bryan drove in for a visit before heading to CA. Started the weekend with dinner with my girls on Friday and roasting marshmallows around the fire.💚 Wrapped up the weekend with a nun pool party with 8 amazing ladies from the Sisters of St Francis. 💚And Maggie has Goose to hang with for a couple weeks before he heads back to Boston...so she is one happy dog!

💚   Cream Puff Day 2024 💚  

Hello,

As our kitchen puts out 6,500 cream puffs today, we think of Lauri who in 2024 was promoted to a cream puff filler!  (See attached picture) With careful attention to be sure that each puff is filled properly, Lauri used foot pedals and a steady hand to fill hundreds and hundreds of puffs in the early hours of the morning.

We love her and miss her so much!

Love, Sr. John Elizabeth

Thank you for sending this to us. Seeing the time you did this surprised me. 

You gave us Lauri first thing in the morning. What a treat for all of us. I love seeing this over and over again.

...The memories are our blessings.

So love and appreciate you for so many reasons Sister.
