Diary of A Modern Gran | Making Peace

One big plus which has come from lockdown are the lovely emails from you all. But I was particularly touched this week by a message from ‘C’, a reader who sent me this. “My son and I fell out some years ago but now we have made it up and we see a lot of each other. It’s lovely.”
How wonderful that C and her son are now reconciled. This actually happened before the virus but it strikes me that this is an ideal time to make up with friends and family whom we are no longer in touch.

Denver Newsroom, Feb 14, 2021 / 02:00 am (CNA).- Mardi Gras in New Orleans has been canceled only a handful of times, including during World War I and II, and the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. This year will be added to that list, as the mayor of New Orleans has canceled Mardi Gras because of the coronavirus pandemic. But seminarians at Notre Dame Seminary are still planning to celebrate Mardi Gras, in their own way.
“I can’t have everybody go home and then come back again, as we’re trying to keep the virus out of the seminary. Which means everybody has to stay here,” said rector Fr. Jim Wehner. “So we’re going to do our own celebrations.”
