Before the sunset Friday evening, I rode out to St Clare's retreat, operated Franciscan Fathers and Franciscan Missionary Sisters. It's about 20 miles from where we live, mostly up hill. It's a tough workout, but I needed to burn off some energy. When I got to the top, I realized I had forgotten my water bottle. I asked some nuns (Sister Barbera and Sister Regina shown above) if I could use their hose. They were quite obliging. Then I asked them to pray for my mom. I should have asked them to pray for safe travel!

Please tell Mary that I love Her and I am praying for her. Love, Pat
