I find the chapel at Saint Catherine's to be a very interesting building. I would have expected a chapel at a woman's university to have a feminine feel but once you step inside you discover it is a very cavernous, spartan and simple experience. Thought I may be able to capture a few pics but they stopped me before I could get the job done - oh well.
My backyard neighbors for 20 plus years Charlotte and Margaret now reside on the campus at a retirement facility. I stopped to say hello and learned that Charlotte after 91 years has left planet earth for eternal life. She had a great run and unfortunately the body slowed down as the mind stayed sharp.
Margaret and her have been connected since they met in college - in her words she is now "existing". Tough days ahead for her.
We had a great connection and many good times across the back yard. No worries about Charlotte - she will always leave me with great memories and many warm thoughts. I can only hope I can make the walk to the post office that she did when I am the age she was when she did it - or that I make it to that age!
