Work!
Hi -- Thanks for visiting my blog. Hospitality -- the mission of the Sisters of Mt. Tabor -- is hard work, folks. Keeping the sheets washed, the pantries stocked, the cooking and the cleaning . . . I was up before 6 a.m. to allow time to get ready for work, pray, and start a crockpot meal for 12. Fortunately, volunteers help the sisters with the property. Volunteers put up the deck off the back of the monastery. Volunteers painted the interior of another bldg and cleaned the gutters. A volunteer will come soon to prep the place for winter (if cool weather ever comes!). Even so, there is plenty left to do. Sr. Kathleen asked me if I'd help her chop firewood. I just laughed and said I'd bring her cool, refreshing beverages.

Sounds like the nuns keep you busy. Do they spontaneously break into song like the movies?
Dear Stacey,
Didn't the nuns ever hear of duraflame logs you buy in the supermarket. It sounds like you are having experiences that will stay with you forever.
Love,
Mom & Dad
Perhaps a trip to Home Depot for a gas powered rail splitter with lots of horsepower is in order! The sisters probably would not want to do that. I hope this early rising thing is not contagious.
Love you,
T
hospitality is one of your specialities, so i am sure you are big help to them.
