From Dallas with love!
Sisters Kathleen Bauer, Mary Anne Owens, Carol George, and Dana Heffner from Dallas recently made the long journey to Covington, Louisiana, to visit with the sisters living at St. Anthony’s Gardens. Together the group shared special meals (including Popeyes chicken), relaxed with movies, puzzles and games, ventured on a scenic drive, and took a trip to an arboretum for a nature walk. They also got to work in the kitchen, baking dozens and dozens of biscotti and scones. It was a special time of stories, prayer, laughter, and memories made!
