So I have put my photo of me & the Pope onto my yahoo pictures site!!
Again, perhaps clicking 'view slideshow' might be nicer than just looking at the tiny thumb-nail pics!
PHOTOS HERE
and yes, that is really me speaking with the Pope and clasping his hands!!
The hand on my left shoulder with the glinting wedding ring is Chris (he was standing behind me!! hehe! It pays being the shorter one!)
(Also, I have added a few more photos into my 'Wedding folder'. and at some point I will also upload my photos from our honeymoon...me in front of St. Peter's in a wedding dress!! But I should be learning about obsessive compulsive disorders at the moment so I better go and leave it for another day!)
ps- Happy Feast day of St. Rosa of Lima.
I just read this little piece about her and it made me think how amazingly unattached to the superficial passing things of this world she was, with her heart set on eternity and what an outstanding example that is to us.
St. Rose of Lima (1617-1668)Rose was the first saint born in the Americas. She was a beautiful girl who was so devoted to chastity that she used pepper and lye to ruin her complexion. A mystic and visionary, she suffered from invisible stigmata and many other ailments

Wow, how blessed you both are. What a wonderful thing to beable to converse and hold the hand of our Pope!!
What a wonderful photo! Being able to just be in the Holy Father's presence must have been so amazing.
Wow, what a blessing to have met the Pope! And kissed his hand. Thanks!
If that picture of you in full wedding regalia with shades on isn't classic facebook material, I don't know what is.
E-mail coming Monday or Tuesday with life update / new address. I could use yours too ... address, that is.
