Every Day is a Blessing

When you travel with Mother Wendy, life is an adventure. On Thursday we researched the McMenamin Family. We found several McMenamin’s buried in the old graveyard including a Mary McMenamin and a Fr. Peter McMenamin, whom we do believe we are related to. Terry O’Flannigan, who was in the cemetery attending to her parents’ tomb, told us to contact Jonathan Kelly, the local historian. He did phone and we are looking forward to meeting him to learn more about the history of the town the McMenamin’s are from. 

We are also going from house to house saying hello to the local people. Sister Mary Francis is our best evangelizer and many people warm up to her beautiful smile. Patrick is one of our favorites. He is a farmer who tells us great stories and supplies us with fresh eggs. He lives in an original farmhouse with a thatched roof. He has sheep, cows, ducks, hens, dogs and a horse!
