Today, September 29, is the day Catholics celebrate the archangel Michael, and I got several feastday greetings from Carmelite friends. This icon is one that Fr. Michael Berry, another Carmelite, gave me a few years ago for Christmas.I wound up going chair shopping with Tom in Madison today. He bought four nice oak chairs for the dining table. Coming back with them in the truck, we missed a turn and wound up taking the Merrimac ferry across Lake Wisconsin. It is a very short trip but a nice change of pace. It was a bit of a cloudy day, but otherwise beautiful.
Early this morning I was awakened by -- ta da! -- the smoke alarm low battery alert going off in the guest room. This is the room where I caught the bird yesterday that Tom had thought was the smoke alarm. I guess it is time to change all the smoke alarm batteries. I put new batteries in all of them at about the same time last spring, so they should all be due.
