So here’s an update from this globe-trotting nun…well, that might be an exaggeration… Nun-theless, while I am enjoying a few breaths of fresh air in the mountains of North Carolina, I am catching up on some volunteer web site design for my sisters over in Lyon, France. Good to be . . . → Read More: Sister on the move… Wondering why the long silence? Well, just take a look at the view out the back door of my friends’ house in western North Carolina to see why turning on the computer was not an especially high priority this past week… So, I do hope that I’ve not lost too many of my WordPress . . . → Read More: She's baaack…. Enjoy…here’s a slideshow of the photos I took one day while in Florida. Most of them are from the Wakodahatchee Wetlands and the Green Cay Wetlands, though the last 2 are from Sr. C’s back yard. If you want to peruse the photos in a more leisurely fashion, feel free to click on the link . . . → Read More: Birds and other Florida creatures I don’t know…it’s just my caption for the picture (see below) I snapped from the back yard of one of our sisters who lives in Florida. Sr. C. has been in Florida for many years, since before I entered the Baden CSJs, so we hadn’t really met properly. But since she lives only 2 hours . . . → Read More: Where's the party? Florida Trail – Hickory Hammock Segment First, a disclaimer…I did not take any of these photos, but have linked to the websites they came from.

Sister J. is a wonderful gardener, and spends lots of time making . . . → Read More: Something to look forward to… OK, this is a very old video, but it has been getting a lot of attention on YouTube lately.

I had been keeping track of my miles in a spreadsheet since I got back on the bike in April, but this site offers some additional features: It computes the reduction in CO2 emissions that result from me riding instead . . . → Read More: Logging the miles… OK, this may seem to be a little too “crunchy granola-ish,” but keep in mind that in my CLC group, we are in the 4th Week of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises… My house mate has a list of spring chores that need to be done around the house, and I received my first introduction to . . . → Read More: Giving the earth a massage Well, after several years, my friend J. finally talked me into it. On July 12 and 13, I’ll be riding 50 miles each day in the 2008 Bike MS event here in Michigan. I’m not much of a road biker, but since they now have a 100-mile route in addition to the usual 150-mile route, . . . → Read More: Biking for a cause |
