In honor of the Nativity of Mary, we had a day off from studies and took a trip up to Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire. The family of an Oblate hosted a picnic for the postulants at their home on the lake. It was great not only to escape Latin drills but to have hiking, kayaking, swimming, tennis, and barbecue.
Domus magnus apud lacum (the large house at the lake).
Conflictio epica inter tamais et sciurus in dispensatoribus aviarius cibi (epic chipmunk vs. squirrel face off at the bird feeder).
Excitus super navigatione in caiac! (excited about kayaking!)
I might never have wanted to come back to the city, but a timely downpour got us on the road at the right time; late enough that I didn't having to make dinner (the postulants have assigned weekends to prepare evening meals) but early enough to eat it! One of the Oblate brothers was kind enough to do my job and prepared an excellent Italian-style dinner, and even had a birthday cake for Mary.
