Darlings, I Just LOVE The Benedictine Nuns At Mary, Queen Of The Apostles, Near Kansas City, MO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                               These nuns are the REAL thing, girls.  They wear habits that fully cover their heads, their hemlines are to the floor, they till the soil, raise animals, and, except when speaking to God, take a vow of silence.  And I bet their bodies are pain wracked from stone floors!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 But there is something they do beautifully.  They sing.  Yesterday, I heard them sing a bunch of traditional Christmas carols, and I was moved and impressed by the beauty of it all.

                                 I mean, girls, what are the odds of assembling a group of people, let alone nuns, who sing so well?  You would have to be a casting director for a production of "The Sound Of Music" to achieve this.

                                  Which makes me wonder, especially with all the nuns out there if, to get into this order, one has to audition?  It would not surprise me, and I am telling you, I am ready to don the habit, and sing.

                                    Except, what the hell would David and I do, in Kansas City, MO???????????

                                     These sisters are the real thing.  Sister Camille would love them, and so do I!

                                     Here they are, singing the Christmas classic, "O Come, O Come Emmanuel."

                                    Simply divine, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
