Thanks Helen.  You are so right about the peace in that place.  Makes one
wish for that kind of peace all the time.  But then it wouldn't be a
retreat, if that were true.  Haven't yet started on the books, as certain
regular chores have to be done minimally.  Am still doing laundry too.  But
I sure value your prayers.

Vicki
