Back from Mass

Well, that had to have been the fastest trip I've ever been on. We are back and the time was great! Now we are just waiting to hear back from the church as to whether they want us or not. :) As we wait, enjoy some pictures.


This was looking out the window of the apartment we stayed in.
The big steeple is First Baptist Church's steeple.

The windows in the church are amazing! All of them were stained glass.

Do you see the amazing pipe organ? Some one actually plays that.

More stained glass..still waiting.

Welcome to camp. The chapel sits up on the hill overlooking everything.

Boats boats boats...just for A. ;)

Looking out at the lake...there's even a water trampoline!!!

The cross is at the vesper circle.

Four square and a cabin...6 bunks in that little thing.

More waiting...

Coffee anyone?

The decor in the Cup & Saucer was old fashion...and totally fit the atmosphere of the town.

Hubby enjoying the quiet.

We took a walk in the rain and looked at all of the amazing old churches.

Looking back at First Baptist.
You can see the steeples of all the Churches just about from every part of town.

This is the library...it's the old Mayoral mansion.

This is a church just across the street from First Baptist.

Yup...still waiting...

St. Francis Assisi

Mary was behind the Catholic church.
We met a man who said she had been there about 100 years.

I know that I fell in love with North Adams and First Baptist Church.
So no matter what happens that town will always hold a place in my heart. It was beautiful.

We just hope they welcome us.

Hey! I snuck over here from facebook...and you are right, it is gorgeous there! If there's one thing we don't have in this part of the country is all the old buildings and beautiful churches. Makes we want to take a whirl around the East Coast. :)
