Would it be a Selby Halloween without a yard full of carved pumpkins? All those pumpkins yielded close to 14 cups of roasted pumpkin seeds.

10/27 :: The Bowl
Today was our last day in Washington DC and the final day of the convention as well. Our reason for staying through the end is always the James W. Bass Pediatric Bowl where residency programs compete for the coveted Meconium Cup. From start to finish, this is the fun side of pediatrics. Think Jeopardy with […]
10/26 :: Game On!
Arlington National Cemetery was an easy Uber ride from the condo although it did show us that traffic is alive and well in Washington DC. Autumn made her presence known with fall foliage and cooler temperatures. In some ways, the chill in the air complemented the solemnity of the destination. Our tram tour took us […]
10/25 :: Sweet Surprises
(click the link for photo credit) Today we had only one place to be at a specific time and that was Mass at 9 AM. We left with enough time and arrived at St. Mary Mother of God Church early. We situated ourselves in the pew and listened as a group recited the rosary in […]

Yesterday, the middle school students journeyed out of school for a Fall Faith Day. Last year Bill and I attended. This year they visited Saint Joseph Holy Family. I love the spirit of fun and faith these pictures show. I do not know all of the activities that took place but I do know they […]
Shocking!
Mason’s class just finished studying electricity. To bring the subject to life, he offered to bring in the Van De Graaf electrostatic generator that Walker made a few years ago. It had been stored in the attic and so Bill and the boys had to do a little bit of maintenance on it to get […]
Talking on Topic
Tonight was the first speech meet of the season. Once again Walker is competing in the Extemporaneous category. Everyone in his category is given several current events articles which will be used for the entire season. They all read the articles and become very familiar with them. On the day of the meet, each participant […]
