“Mt. Airy” is the familiar name for the National Shrine of St. Anthony and Friary sitting on a hill above Cincinnati. The shrine had its start in the late 1880s, when Joseph and Elizabeth Nurre bought what was then a country estate for $18,000 and gave it to the Franciscan friars.

My parents have eye issues; different issues. I hope my dad Al’s eyes can improve so he can do more without risk. I hope my mum Glenda’s eyes also improve, she had eye surgery, but now they are issues, hope she goes to the doctor on a sunny day, as I don’t want to be stuck in a van for a while, if it’s bad out, and I have a gift card to use, as the doctor’s office and the shop with the gift card are both in a town, that might take a while just to get to and back. Hope the plague in Russia and Ebola in Africa do not spread to other countries. I think it was due to paranoia and a bit of a misunderstanding but help me in the next while; as I think my period is coming as I did something dumb; then I was going to do something related to it as I think it was punishment, but my mum showed me how to do it despite I did it before. Help me and help my mum, as it is always my fault, but they are issues that hard to explain but the state of her mind doesn’t help; either she forgets, doesn’t understand something, being stubborn, or something else.
