GOOD MORNING ..........!!!

Do any of you remember the movie, Good Morning Vietnam? Well.... I think I am secretly being filmed for it's sequel. Each year our village gets a new priest. This year is no different and the new priest has started off the year with a bang! Our village has big speakers above the houses and you can pay to have someone make an announcement that you are selling bread or meat or whatever you want to say. You can even just have them announce that you are very happy you have a new grandchild. Whatever. So, we are very used to announcements being made at all hours of the day, usually from 7am-11:30pm. Well, the new priest has this tradition of playing about 6 songs on the loud speaker to let everyone know it is time for Mass. No problem. EXCEPT he does this EVERY day at 6am. Yes EVERY day at 6am. I am not a morning person, and this is NOT fun for me! It is kinda becoming comical because no one is happy about this and we are all trying to figure out how to sleep through the LOUD music which lasts 30 minutes. He then begins his sermon over the loud speaker by saying,"Good morning San Lorenzo!!" So, when you are asleep on Saturday or Sunday or Monday or whatever day, you can think of me lying in my bed, with cotton sticking out of my ears and a pillow over my head trying to shut out the noise and thanking God for this precious man! ;o) Just had to share!
