Young lady, you are certainly a great font of knowledge for this old lady.
We do have one of those.  Ours is a piece of pleated green velvet, a simple
cross hangs over it.  It suits our simple country church.

This church just cleared $18,000 selling apple pies.  Took 9 days to make
1380 pies, all were sold within 4 hrs.  Damn good for a bunch of hicks, eh?

BTW:  I still don't know how to pronounce rerdo; is it like re-do, or rer dO?
