    1. Hi Janet (Jay)! Thank you for your prayers and for lighting the candles. Sometimes I wish I could transport myself to the grotto at the University of Notre Dame and light candles there. Every prayer I ever prayed there was answered in a wonderful way. We are all doing okay and are glad for the good news about Ben. Sending hugs and love to you. I enjoy your blog and your photos; please keep writing and taking photos! Love you!
