The Packers lost AGAIN. And Bret Farve got hurt. Looks like a concussion. Hopefully he will be OK by next week. Things are not looking too good in Packerland.

I talked to Bart and Barb tonight. Bart sounds pretty good. It is later in the day and he seemed to be pretty up. Usually by evening before, he would be just drained. There are still things to be ironed out but the weather is helping and he said he is trying to keep busy and figure out how to occupy his time without getting reclusive. I am proud of him. Barb is enjoying work and has found a few women to quilt with so she has something for HER.

The next week is fairly busy but managable. Tomorrow I have bible study and the Rhine Plymouth Field and Stream. I can't remember where I put my bible study book so this should be interesting.

We had pork roast and roasted potatoes for supper. I also fixed spinach. Jim wouldn't eat the spinach. He asked where the noodles were. (The famous Kunert Spinach Noodle Egg Casserole which is the only way he eats spinach.) His loss. It was really good.

Yesterday at the Legion of Mary Breakfast, I was surprised that the speaker listed the "5 non negotiables" I agree with(1) cloning, (2) abortion,(3) assisted suicide. I am in need of more information on (4)stem cell research. I certainly don't believe in making fetuses for the stem cells alone, but see no problem in harvesting the cells from live births. The fifth is homosexuality. I really have a problem with that. I cannot believe that God made over ten percent of his creatures as homosexuals and that they are evil if they act naturally.

Have a great Monday.
