Happy Birthday Julie

I went and celebrated Mass with the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. St. Julie Billiart is the foundress. “Ah, qu’il est bon, le Bon Dieu!” (“How good is the Good God!”). I don't know that much about her and will look it up. I always confuse this order with the School Sisters whose foundress was German. Afterwards there was a picnic in the sister's dining room. Very nice and cool and very sensible. We all got a gift wrapped in newspaper that we had to take home and that the sisters did not need or want. The priest got a book "A Woman's journal." Very funny. He traded. I got two over sized strawberries which are pincushions. If they had been bigger I could have used them for breast implants.
