Monks and some Ice

 Leaving Physical Therapy today we got a glimpse of the Monks making their way into Ashland Va.  Earlier in their journey in Dayton Texas, two Monks were injured when a car hit them resulting in one having leg amputated. He is recuperating. 

They along their way are stopping at state capitals, historic landmarks and communities sharing their message of reflection.  A 2300 mile walk thru Ashland with a rest stop at Randolph Macon Campus.

Looks like Phil the large ground hog saw his shadow which in Pennsylvania could be six more weeks of bad weather for them.  Not sure if a groundhog saw a shadow in my state.  I say we will probably have six more weeks of bad weather here anyway.




Genevieve had to get the old sleigh out and slide down to creek on ice

Bye for now

  1. Wonderful to have the assistant shovelers!!! I am sure we will have at least six weeks more of winter.

  2. The Monks are troopers, fun to see. And your snow shovelers are troopers too, what nice and cute helpers !! I love the video, such fun! I’m hoping you are healing quickly and that PT is not too hard on you!…it will pay off later but isn’t much fun. Take extra good care. xo, Virginia

  3. Yes indeed all are troopers. Thank you and yes I am healing, I just wish there was a comfortable way to sleep. Gonna take a while. PT was pretty rough on Friday. When the pain gets a bit much there, it's almost sickening. Betsy
