Have A Great Friday and a Wonderful Weekend

After living in Wyoming for almost nine years--"a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play"--moving to South Carolina was quite the change.  However, I have really enjoyed watching the wildlife here as well.  It has not been big game animals such as elk and moose, but the alligators and the birds have been fascinating nonetheless.  The little one pictured above kept inching closer and closer to the dock.

Is it dead, or just asleep?  I wasn't going any closer to see.  I am happy to report that it is alive and well.  Once it woke up it came right to the dock.  It is the same one that is in the first photo above.

This is a different one on the other side of the dock.  I have never seen one come out of the water and onto the dock, but I stand back just to be on the safe side.  My knowledge about alligators is minimal, and I don't want to learn any lessons the hard way.

After completing all of the things required for the Holy Week celebrations, I am now working on preparations for First Communion and the Sacrament of Confirmation which are back-to-back on May 4, and May 5.  I am scheduled to preach on two weekends yet before I leave South Carolina for Iowa.  The first of these is on May 11, at the Saturday 5:30 P.M. Mass.  The second is on June 1, at the Saturday 5:30 P.M. Mass and then again at the 7:30 A.M. Mass on June 2.  I also have a couple of speaking engagements remaining on the calendar.  I will be serving as the keynote speaker for the Beaufort Deanery Catechist Appreciation Celebration on May 18, in Ridgeland, South Carolina.  Then on May 19, I will be addressing the Knights of Columbus at a breakfast at Port Royal Country Club here on Hilton Head Island.

In the midst of all of this I will continue making preparations to move and transition into my new role in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  Based upon what my calendar looks like right now, there is no danger of getting bored any time in the near future.  Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.
