Back to a Homeland

We were able to take a quick trip back to Oklahoma to visit family just a few weeks ago. We are so thankful to have had such an opportunity. Especially as the country limps out of the days of the virus, it is ever so important to reestablish time with friends and family.

Most of the summer, we stayed right here in South Canaan, Pennsylvania. I spent half-days working on a local internship for school, while Senia (Dear) and the kids finished up a few loose ends from last year's school and prepared for the this year's. My internship goal was to clean up the monastery cemetery's records, which meant a lot of time either organizing information in a spreadsheet or walking the rows of the cemetery itself. That will explain the photo of me, shovel in hand...if you choose to take a look at the photos from our Oklahoma trip.

It is time for school to start back up, for everybody in this household, and for our last school year here in Pennsylvania. We are looking forward to the coming months, our last with new friends here, and our last before moving to a great new challenge in a new parish out there somewhere.
