But what about the other 5 weeks????
Late August our garden club visited 2 monasteries
an hour's south of here.
One had a service going and we wondered why one brother didn't participate with the others...
He was as stiff as a statue!
Both monasteries were much smaller than I anticipated. One made fruit cakes, the other yummy chocolates!!

REFLECTIONS
This has been a busy past 6 weeks! I enjoyed planning, shopping and cooking for my family guests. And especially enjoyed their pitching in to wash dishes! I get lonely for my Indianapolis siblings and their families. It was refreshing to hang out with them for the week. Now is the fun of sorting through pictures and living the adventures all over again! Thanks for coming, family!!
This has been a good 6 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gramma G.
