DR Ginny - really enjoying reading about your retreat/vacation!
Hope it is as relaxing for you as it sounds.
Yes, I'm having a good week. I brought more books & magazines than I've had time to read and some DVDs that haven't even come out of my tote bag. I've spent more time with the seminarians than I did in August and have gotten to know some of them better. Everyone is pretty tired, including the prof, who gave them 30 minutes longer for lunch today. In about an hour, I'll go over to the chapel for Evening Prayer and a solemn mass. Richard is one of the choir scholars for the mass.
After lunch I went into town to one of my favorite shops. My purchases included a little something for our niece/goddaughter, whose 19th birthday is today. I came back here and got it ready to mail, then headed back to the post office. From there, I went to another of my favorite shops. It's beginning to snow, so I thought I'd get back here before the roads get slippery.
