- I’ve been running late to everything this week because there are so many cute baby geese to watch, but who among us, etc… (I’m sure Saint Werburgh would excuse me slinking in late to prayer if the excuse was “BUT LOOK, BABY GEESE!”⚓️
- Pope Leo XIII had pet goats (and deer and gazelle) which were allowed to freely roam the grounds of the Vatican, and I choose to believe that THAT is why the new pope has chosen the name Leo! ⚓ 🐐 (This is not a terrible idea, though. A papal menagerie would do well in the age of social media...)
- I am fascinated by just how many people in Rome have a national flag to wave! Does one just buy it on site? Does someone come around and hand them out because it makes for good tv optics? Did this many people actually think to put that on their PACKING list? Socks, deodorant, toothbrush, flag....
- Walked in, read the white board, and wondered if this was the to-do list for today. I could get on board with this as an agenda! ⚓️
