Though there hasn’t been much movement since the last time I posted thanks to benefactors, I again want to thank everyone who has sent anything from my wishlist or who has made a donation using the donation button.  Also, thanks to everyone who has helped the Wyoming Carmelites by buying Mystic Monk Coffee using my link (and therefore also helping me) and who have used my Amazon links and my search box on the side bar.  Each use of those links really adds up over the period of a month and is very important for me.  Thanks a million.  I remember my benefactors in prayer and regularly at Mass, which is my duty and pleasure.
