Son and I are doing okay.  I had to go to the funeral home today to sign the papers (we had pre-need, saved a ton of money that way), and as it turns out, the funeral director, just a young woman, was raised in a fairly conservative Novus Ordo home and was very favorably disposed to the TLM.  I invited her to visit.  She, too, is troubled by Francis.  I explained to her how the Novus Ordo came to be, and I mentioned Bugnini, though I didn't bring up the alleged Freemason business.  She's not old enough to remember the TLM.  My mother's illness and demise has given me a lot of "teachable moments" with her various caregivers, hospital staff, and so on.  I am very much a "people person" IRL, and it's easy for me to talk to people about the Church and the TLM.  The FD and I must have talked for an hour and a half today.

After my mother is laid to rest on Monday, my son is wanting to get away from the house for a couple of days, so we are visiting a small town he likes about a half-hour from here, find some hotel with his beloved breakfast bar and, ideally, an indoor pool.  To tell the truth, I want to get away too, the house is a bit too quiet with my mother gone.
