We took a walk down Carters Beach Rd and met our new neighbors, Sarah and Bob. They are the first ones to build a home on the land they bought from us a couple of years ago. They are so excited to be moving onto this property and in a home they designed themselves (and helped with the building). They mentioned that many of the neighbors have already introduced themselves, that they love the surrounding woods and, get this, they love hearing our bells. (Good thing, I thought, you'll be hearing them 3 times a day, every day!). Their completion date is August 1.
A side view of the structure.
We, too. are living the dream as our gardens around the monastery are all blooming wildly. Here's a new hanging plant with accompanying hummingbird feeder that it took the birds about an hour to find!
Our staff who care for our sisters who need assistance are so great.
One of the really wonderful things they do is to take the sisters for "a wheelchair walk"
around the monastery--as sidewalks completely circle the building. Here's Sr. Mary Louis,
still in her going-for-a-walk hat, that she wore on today's trip.
And finally, we had our 2021 (twice delayed) Prophet of Peace Award ceremony last week. The Blue Coats, a local security and non-violence trained group in local schools, events and daily in our Soup Kitchen, were this year's, well, last year's recipients. If you haven't read the whole story on our website, it is here.
