Tuesday was Grandma Judy's birthday and also the feast of Saint Louis of France. His life is a wonderful example of a leader who ensured justice for the poor, so I emailed the story to Meggar and Grandma Judy. In all these years, I never put 2 and 2 together... my mother's middle name is Louise -- of course! She says the parish priest was good about encouraging new parents to follow the Catholic tradition of naming your child after the saint whose feast day they are born on. Meggar's French class was just studying the masculine and feminine spellings of names, too!Thursday, August 27, 2009
