The Darn Wells post #1

J.M.J.A.T.K.G

I like reading other people's blog. I'm sure you do too. So I'm going to oppose on you my favorite blogs and I hope you like them as much as I do.
I'm going to call these the "Darn Wells" because I'm going to post them when I darn well feel like it.
I also like these blogs so darn much that I just have to write about them.
So the first "Darn Well" post goes too...Marsha's Musings! Yay!

If you've never heard of Marsha or her musings, let me tell you why I love this blog so darn much. For the next few months Marsha will be embarking on an adventure! Yay! This adventure has already taken Marsha from her home in Washington State to California and now to Chicago....but wait! She's only beginning! Next she's going to Monroe, Michigan to stay and pray with my nuns! Whoo hoo! I'll be joining Marsha in a few weeks in Michigan to also stay and pray...but only for a week. But Marsha won't be done yet! After Michigan she's going to stay with some more nuns (not my nuns but cool none the less) in Minnesota to stay and pray for another month.

Did I mention that Marsha is 74 years young?

Yeah you don't want to miss this.

UPDATE: Well, this is awkward. I got some things wrong. Here's what Marsha commented:

Wow, Audra - you're running ahead of me. So now I am in Monroe. I am presently sitting in the Motherhouse foyer waiting for SJ to come downstairs. She's driving me over to Norman Towers was a boys military academy, now a retirement facility. It also has a couple of guest rooms. It's goreous there. One of my favorite places to stay- where she will help me move a chair and a lamp upstairs for my little 1 month apartment.

This morning I met with Sister Julie founder of A Nun's Life ministry and Sister Margaret Brennan- General Superior of the IHM's during Vatican II- Legendary nun who helped formed what Religious Life is in the US today- for an hour before mass - just to talk about what I might be doing during this coming month - and to mull over whatever it was to bring me here.

Then mass - and brunch with the IHMs - then Julie will leave and I'll be really "on my own." (Except for Sr. Rosie who is my special companion over at Norman Towers - and Sr. Mary Bea IHM vocation director who I'll be meeting with next.

It is an adventure. And you are right - the adventure will include a stopover (for just four days, not a month) at Visitation Monastery in N. Minneapolis. But I may be going there to stay for a few months if my application is accepted.)

I'm look forward to seeing you and our NL friends here in a couple of weeks. And I do think IHM is going to play a significant role in my life from now on. They seem to have that affect of people.

Thanks for the Update Marsha! Look forward to hearing more!
