Babe Ruth is a hero of mine.

I like to treat myself a short 15 min. ride to Alma Sue's Quilt shop from my house a couple of times a year.  It is a joy to walk into her new shop and watch the Amish and Menonnites quilt.  They quilt from frames hung from the ceiling and speak a form a German that is known a Pa.

I just stumbled onto a pretty good movie that is coincidentally quite timely. It is a comedy played seriously. It is called We Have A Pope.
