FSO-the things and places in my town I just love

Valentine's Day is upon us, and while the notion of sugary sweet love in the air may not be to everyone's taste, one can't deny feeling love. Join us this week in celebrating the love stories we share with the places we live in. Weather it's a part of nature nearby or the history of your place or loved ones strolling by, share with us what you love about your town and what love looks like in your town or city.

One of my favorites places in town the retirement village where many of my friends live.
We get together here for lots of fun times.
It is also on the Nazareth Campus.

Common sight on the campus.

One of my favorite shops to visit, right in the middle of town.

Mostly window shopping here since they do not have(sh) plus sizes.

Cherry drop-leaf table

reeds, dried flowers and eucalyptus in an old Belizian clay pot. 
The sunlight coming into the room gave it that magical mystical air.

I just love this arrangement.

Friday Shoot Out- What kind of work you do.

Friday Shoot Out

 I am a retired RN and an associate of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth Kentucky.

Part of our commitment as associates is to help out in a volunteer position somewhere with the sisters or within one of the missions of the sisters.
The Visitor's Center is part of the Office Of Congregational Advancement.

This office is responsible for generating the moneys needed for the work of the congregation.

I have been working in the Gift Shop that was located at Nazareth for several years which is now the Visitor's Center.

The Campus is included in a town tour map of our town.

My job is that of Hostess which I do every Friday from 1PM to 4PM.

I love doing it.

Meeting people from all over and getting to talk about the work of the sisters

which is very dear to my heart.

Visitors are shown a 10 minute film of the different missions and work of the sisters in US, India, Belize, Napal and Botswana

Items for sale in the Visitor's Center.

Books written and published by the sisters.

Four Seasons of the Campus on note cards.

Woodcut silhouette of the Motherhouse and St. Vincent's Church in celebration of the 200th celebration of their founding.

Thousands of boxes of homemade candy are sold by the Visitor's Center each year.

The sisters have been making this candy for many years.

It is absolutely scrumptious.

Friday My Town Shoot Out-Theme wood, metal, stone

I don't have to go far to get beautiful scenery to photograph in my town.

The beautiful Nazareth Campus is just about 4 miles from my house.

Wood, stone, metal

all in one shot.

This bell was the original bell used to call the workers from the fields at Nazareth when the community grew their own food and ran a large cattle farm.

The bell was in the original Motherhouse and was placed in this beautiful place of honor just a few years ago when the old gym was torn down.

Every bit of the wisteria has been cut away from the lattice  as it was so overgrown it was attracting snakes.

A shot of it last summer with all the wisteria in full bloom.
