We all had a lovely day. The keeper had a freer day since she didn't have to spend the weekend at CDB. So, she left us earlier because she wanted to spend time with her friends at the Cathedral at 10 AM liturgy. We hear that she met new people, ran into former parishioners, and met the "reflector" who gave a stirring invitation to support the work of Hands Together ---providing basic food, education, hope to the people of Haiti. The founder of Hands Together had spoken many years ago at her former parish, and they raised an incredible amount of money for the work. Today's speaker came from the parish in southern California which she had been asked to lead, and had declined. Very few degrees of separation in the Catholic world, indeed! But it caused her to reconsider her somewhat selfish plan to someday move to Paris. Perhaps she should move to Haiti instead. More or less the same language. And she might do some good. We hope this happens long after we are resting in peace in Kittyrood.
She promised she would be home earlier and she was, after she spent time with Spanish speaking community in Bellevue. The neighbors returned from several weeks in Croatia and brought Croatian wine. Eventually we took in the beautiful moon this evening.
