Been a while

So it's been a while since the last time I posted. We had a death in our family so things have been a little hectic to say the least. To get back to MHA. Have you all gone to WWW.thedome.org lately? I guess they are having a yard sale on April 1st. If you click on the link you will see some of the pictures of items they are going to sell. Many items will look familiar. There are some very scratchy unappealing blankets that covered our beds. There are lockers for sale, frankly I don't remember ever using lockers so I don't know where they came from, (they don't look like the lockers from the gym). Did anyone lose any luggage because there is a lot of luggage for sale. :) If any of you get to the sale enjoy! I wish I could get down there that weekend but I don't see that happening. Speaking of getting down there, have any of you been back to visit in the last year or two? I try to stop in at least once a year. I take my nieces and nephew down there, they are in awe of the place. My nephew thinks Harry Potter lives there. It's been fun seeing the Sisters and buildings. If you have been back post a comment and let us know how your visit went.

I am going to the academy in May. My aunt is celebrating her 50th anniversary of joining the convent. I can't wait to share my memories with my family. We will be coming from North Carolina. We are staying at Kordes Hall. I use to make all those beds as a weekend job. Wow! Memories.

Came here via the comment on my blog .... Unfortunately, the decision to close MHA was right before I began visiting the community, so I've only heard stories about "Life with the Academy girls"! But, they're doing a repeat of the yard sale maybe in two weeks? Whenever the Herb & Garden Days are. And, to those who haven't been back .... church will probably look a little different.

Best wishes to you all!
Peace out, (Sr.) Steph
