I love that Trappist Monastery in Missouri—the one at Ava, I’m guessing. DH and I used to go there on retreat, and once he played for an ordination of a priest at their request...
Yeah. Ava is it. There was a Dominican sister at a little cluster of hermitages nearby. She and I had been corresponding, and she invited me out to visit. So I did, but I stayed with the Trappists and visited her in the daytime. I loved the statue they had Mary’s assumption in the, what front yard. Wow!
