We had a church group sing for us this evening as we had our Potato Soup and sandwich supper. They was a larger group that shown and brought along a Comfort Dog for people to pet. After singing for us they went down the hall and sang for the folks in the assistant dining room which we could still hear as "background music". Some people had finished eating when Jeremy told people to wait on other folks coming in. It was Jim Luebbe and his wife from the Goehner area that had sacks of "goodies" for each of us. The sticker on the sack indicated that they were "Thrivent Action Items". They had parked the cart with the boxes of sacks, near where we were seated. This gave us a chance to visit when they finished their distribution of sacks.
Jim had written a very scientific letter to the editor of the Seward Independent on Costco's proposed Chicken farms that was in this weeks paper. He was a Civil Engineer who worked for Olson's for a number of years and also continued to carry on his Dad's aerial crop spraying business. After complementing him on his excellent letter, someone mentioned that we live in interesting times. It was a coincidence that while visiting with son Verlon this afternoon. he mentioned that the ancient Hebrews used "May you live in interesting times" as a most severe curse. When Jim heard the comment that was made about interesting times, he mentioned that it was an old Hebrew curse. How interesting that I had never heard the curse bit and then hearing in twice in the same day. I attempted to confirm it on Wikipedia but most references told of it having a Chinese origin.
