Ottawa...a few more pictures from my visit

Saturday night vespers.

Visiting a dear friend's place who

will soon DV have baby # 3.

A beautiful peaceful visit...

My Ottawa parish, 

baskets of fruit to be blessed.

The one with the blueberries in the middle is

the woman who with her husband are like the

grandparents of the parish.

After the liturgy I was given a strawberry from her basket,

she asked me if "I'd found a job yet" and when she heard

that I was doing a lot of volunteering for church she understood:

you're too busy to have a job, that's good!

It was a beautiful moment...

I went to a dear friend's home in downtown Ottawa...

I loved her kitchen and am hoping in time to 

have a shelf over my 

kitchen sink like she does..

Her beloved cat :)

Dump truck at the monastery playground

where I spent time with my godson.

Such special needed times,

my visit to Ottawa...
