Sister Rejane
I just have to say, you know, it's kind of great to talk to a sister from my same community, Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, and that we actually are living together in this awesome house. And now of course, Pat, you are slightly older than I, and have a very different vocation story. But we certainly have shared a lot of adventures in our six months together, wouldn't you say?
Sister Pat
Yes, I would.
Sister Rejane
So, any of our joint adventures you'd like to share with our audience that really sticks out for you?
Sister Pat
Well, I think the biggest joint venture was getting rid of the fleas when the bug man didn't work, and you researched using salt. And we salted the house, and that took care of our fleas.
Sister Rejane
Yes, especially since you and I have a love of the environment and trying to use organic materials and so it actually proved it worked better than the chemicals. Right?
Sister Pat
Right.
