Rainbows and popes

Odd combination--at least somewhat odd...

The weather has been trying to decide what to do with itself since this morning. Drove into Cincy in light fog and 40 degrees. Just a few miles north, the fog was thick and it was about 28. Then clouds seemed to just lie there the rest of the morning. By afternoon, sprinkles started again. Lo and behold, by 6:00 the skies looked ominous and hail began. After several minutes, the hail turned to rain, the sun came out, and we had the most beautiful rainbow! I'm waiting to see what Mother Nature dishes out next!

About Cincy...

Went to Union Terminal today. Just walking in the doors is charge enough, but then we got to go see the Vatican display. WOW! How much the Catholic faith puts into its churches and its popes is amazing! And I saw two things that really excited me--no, THREE! First, I looked and looked for Michelangelo's sketches and found them! Then I saw some works of art by Bernini--a sculpture, in particular, that still had his fingerprints! What a connection to the past. I guess my biggest charge, though, was seeing a towel that was possibly imaged with the face of Jesus. It looked so much like the Shroud that...well, I'm not into the stuff that supposedly came from this place or that object (I can't think of what they are called now), but thinking that we MAY know what Jesus looked like gives me a neat feeling.

Paperwork--ugh! Will start again soon. Must wait for hubby...
