Yesterday Alyssa and I were able to spend a wonderful day with my mentor and some of her family. We went with her and her niece and nephew to Port Farms in Waterford, where we got to play and have a blast. We slid down huge slides, fed some goats, took a tractor ride, picked out some pumpkins and played in a giant pit full of corn kernels, among other things. It was fun playing with a 3 and 5 year old all day, it brings the kid in me right out, and it was just so much fun.
After a few hours spent there, we went back to the kids' farm to celebrate little Bryn's 3rd birthday with their whole family. We met a brand new baby cow, born Saturday night and got to explore their farm a little, and went for a real hay ride on their property. I also made friends with a very tiny baby kitten (who was found inside the house in someone's shoe, courtesy of one of the kids!) who seemed to think my collarbone was an appropriate place to find some food (it tickled, and was the cutest thing ever, hands down.) It was a jam packed day, but it was the perfect way to spend such a gorgeous fall day.
I'm sad to say that Sister Margaret Mary passed away yesterday afternoon. She will be greatly missed, but she's at peace now, she's no longer sick or in pain, she's with God. I will greatly miss her big hugs, and the kiss on the cheek that accompanied each one. Rest in peace Sister, it was a blessing to have known you.
