Hello dear autumn family. We’re in Boone North Carolina. Chuck and I drove (Chuck drove and I changed CDs) for about 9 hours yesterday and got me to St. Elizabeth church on time to meet Mark and Karla for vigil Mass. Chuck came to the house to play with the dog until we got here. Dog is a Golden Retriever with long fluffy fur and tufts on her toes. She is so gentle!!!!! The trees have not yet begun to really turn in the Blue Ridge yet but it is cool with sunny days. Last night we ate corned beef and cabbage in honor of St Patrick and then today we sat outside for lunch at Bella’s Italian restaurant. Went to the flea market where I picked up a little bench to paint…  I guess I better get busy with the paints. Karla teaches the next 5 days so there will be plenty of time to paint during the day. We are cooking a big pot of soup as if it is winter time. We always fall back into comradery (Karla and I have known each other since her senior year and my first graduate school year at Barry). Loosen us up with a red wine and talk turns to "the old days, Robin Williams, taking care of each other, books we have read, and movies we need to see." Believe it or not, Mark has not seen Mrs. Doubtfire so I think that is a necessity. All is well here on the mountain. Be healthy. God bless you.
