Hello *whisper* and welcome to this episode straight from the sunny tables of Alcuin Library. I am joined by my two comrades Anna and Thomas. It was a "great day for friendship" and for our Christmas dinner. We have found so many cousins on campus and had a wonderful week of studying for finals.

Kate and I are reunited! She's in Bozeman, Montana this year for school but booked a spontaneous flight to visit St. Ben's before we go back to MT for Thanksgiving. On our drive to campus we talk about our days, contagious campus Pneumonia, ladies on flights releasing emotions, and picking up swearing habits from priests. The audio isn't great but involves lots of laughs and banter!

It's been so warm this fall and I love living with the senior community at St. Ben's! We've been prepping for the FYRE retreat, and I've been figuring out that balance means actively setting limits with people. On this chapel walk I find a chipper chipmunk, a garter snake and geese enjoying the sunshine. From October 2nd, for future Ella.

Awe I love this one! The housemates of Eileen Ave talk about their highs, lows, and buffalos of the summer. The discussion involves special guests, competitive spirits, affirmations, and crying.
