Quite a few of our Christmas trees have come from there over the years.

[@monkwerks]

Awesome!

I recently found a book at my local swap meet, titled "Providence" It must have belonged to someone that was there, back in the early 1950's. The book has a bookmark inside with the name Luke Bohr, OSB ordained in 1948. Just thought I'd share that.

+Moon Hitsearth Fr. Luke was our prior (#2 in the monastery) for nearly 20 years. He entered into eternal life about 8 years ago.

Good to see you post something... I was getting worried that maybe you decided to stop doing vidyas.

[@monkwerks]

+pulsehead Unfortunately life sometimes gets in the way, but I am working on a few projects right now.

Is that a cornfield maze? Looks rather green for corn, but I suppose it is still sort of early in the season.

[@monkwerks]

Yes its corn. Its part of the fall events at our Christmas Tree farm.

One thing about the Catholic Church: they (or "we", since I am Catholic) holds an *enormous* amount of real estate. And not swamplands, either. Quality stuff.

[@monkwerks]

Wait until you see the school side of the property.

MonkWerks with Fr. Thomas I'm from Champaign, IL. When I was young, I remember seeing the football scores from Marmion Military Academy. I thought the institution ceased to exist, but found out later that the name was simply changed to Marmion Academy.

[@hdwoodshop]

Wow. You live there!?

[@monkwerks]

Yes, this is home. Though my work keeps me away from here 9 months out of the year.

[@ms0099rg]

How long will you be in Illinois??

[@monkwerks]

Only for a couple more weeks.
