Howdy. We've moved from Cayce, but St. Elizabeth of South Rose Hill or Lizette de Waccamaw de Sud just don't do it for me.

Trip to Florida, Part 3 -- Ave Maria

We left the K's home and drove down to Naples to visit a couple of friends we'd originally met at Duke. He's now "all that" at Ave Maria and she's working on an advanced degree in clinical mental health therapy. There are still some of the most enthusiastic and infectious Catholics we're ever known.

They put us up on a nice poolside bungalow used by AMU for visiting lecturers. The closet rod was over 7 feet high, to allow for cassocks to hang properly.

Great parking space (may have to view largest size)

We had a wonderful time with old friends, getting better acquainted with their kids and with grandpa and cousin who were also visiting.

Incredibly enthusiastic, if a bit inaccurate, retelling of the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal (pronounced Baaaal, as in sheep)

Which one is a dean?

We drove back yesterday, avoiding all the folks headed south to Orlando, Miami, Tampa & Jacksonville for Florida bowl games. Good to be back home.
