Blisters for Sisters

Yesterday was the second annual Blisters for Sisters walk-a-thon. (a walk sponsored by the Serra Club to raise money for the women religious in the area) The walk began at Visitation Parish with 3 routes of 1.2, 2.4 or 3.5 miles. I choose the 3.5 mile walk. After finishing the walk all the participants returned to Visitation for Mass and a luncheon with door prizes. It was a wonderful event on a beautiful, cool, sunny morning, perfect for walking. Here are pictures from the walk.

This photos is of Holly (Sr. Loretta's niece) Sisters Loretta, Patricia, myself, Barbara and Mary. Sisters Martha, Barb L. Barb C Sharon and Rita also attended.

This is me and Sr. Mary walking.

After the morning of activities, I returned to the monastery for a quick change of clothes and then returned to KC to attend a free piano concert at Folly Theatre by Ingrid Fliter, a Argentinean classical pianist. She was amazing! I couldn't believe how fast her fingers could move across the keys. After the concert, Sisters Susan, Molly, Lou and I went out for dinner to celebrate Sister Lou's 42nd birthday. What a full and wonderful day it was.

Today is a much quieter day. After Mass, I had dishes and now I am watching Game 5 of the Quarter Finals for the Stanley Cup. Surprisingly, I am a huge Penguins fan and love watching the Penguins hockey games - I even have a jersey. I got it this year at the stadium in Pittsburgh! Hopefully this game will put them into the semifinals. Go Penguins!
