a jorb done

I don't want to steal magic if the oak pollinator is going to continue his documentary of last week, but I do want to throw in a few words.
Of all the wonderful physical transformation that took place in parts of the Abbey, by far, the most transforming took place when the job was finished and we blessed the house and broke bread in the newly renovated kitchen. I'll leave the telling up to Greg, but I thought I'd toss in this pic of the crew (doctored to accommodate an early departure) preparing for the blessing and the eucharist by warding off the bitter cold by the industrial strength oven/stove. Pictured from left are: Matthew (get a blog) Cavin, the Oak Grove Abbott, Inkslinger, Contented Nomad, and me.
