Odds and Ends is devoted to the quirkiness of our lives and history. So what you will find here are the things we have left in boxes and drawers, cupboards and closets, pockets in pants, and basically - one person's treasure that is trash to someone else! Don't express too much of an interest in any of this, or it may just end up at your door as a present from the Murphys!
Our entire family had/has a strong faith, based on principals learned from a strong Catholic upbringing. These items below represent a minute amount of the religious items they have. For every pair of rosaries there are five more - for every scapular, add three - for every card, add twenty. In their retired years, Maurice and Alice were daily celebrants at Mass at St. Gabriels. Sure it was a social event as well, but it was based on a deep study of the faith that both kept up with until they died. And the same was for our entire family of their generation (as far as I know).
