Chris' aunt, Sr. Agnes, is visiting us for the weekend! Today we went to Belmont Abbey for Mass, then stopped by the coffee shop (Holy Grounds) for a snack.
Then we tromped through the woods to the grotto of Our Lady.
The Abbey has so many wonderful climbing trees, unlike our back yard in which the towering trees have had all the lower limbs removed.
After lunch at a charming restaurant (where we ate for dessert Oreo cookies fried in funnel cake batter served with vanilla ice cream!), we visited St. Joseph church, the tiny church from the mid-1,800s built for the Irish immigrants.
