Sunday morning at Mass, Father John explained why there is no marriage in Heaven. There are two purposes to marriage: procreative and unitive. In Heaven, we are more intimately united to God and each other than we ever could have been on earth in a marriage, AND there is no longer any need for more procreation. For some reason I never thought of this before. Now it makes sense. (A piece on Catholic Exchange this morning makes the same point.)

This week: another busy one as usual. Of course I need to sell some books. We also have to start slaughtering chickens this week. We can't do them all in one day and freeze them because this is the week Mrs. Curley usually gets a bunch of turkeys on sale at the grocery store and stocks the freezer. So we will slaughter and eat; slaughter and eat, one day at a time.
Next year I think we may try to raise a couple turkeys so we can have our own.
Price of milk is so high we are thinking of getting goats. Now this won't actually save us any money, but at least we will spending our money in different places (i.e. the feed store instead of the cheapest grocery store.)
