Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

Guess Who Came Over Today?

This is your first clue. Actually, I think I should have waited a while to take this shot as it got more cluttered as the afternoon wore away into evening!!

This is clue number two, though in all fairness to little Miss "Clue," I must tell you she had absolutely NOTHING to do with clue number one.

And here we have clue number three, these clues were responsible for the redecoration of our family room.

Oh, and they left their mark on the living room as well. It was pretty exciting and noisy around here for a while.

But little Piper Renae managed to get some shut-eye in spite of the commotion.

And so did Papoo!!!

grammy said...: My first guess was...Gomer and Fluffy but realized they might not be "tuff enuff" to re-arrange some of those toys. So my next guess was, Kyle, Korie & Chris or maybe Kelly & Cathy. Wow, never would have guessed if you hadn't shown the pics!!!

That's a sweet mess...wish it was here at my house!!!; August 4, 2008 at 7:00 AM
nanatrish said...: Adorable grandkids and you have to admit they are worth the mess. I will be heading to Indianapolis Wednesday. Hooray for vacation!; August 4, 2008 at 7:47 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: It was lots of fun to have them here. Keri and Jason went on a "date" to a movie and out to dinner.

Nanatrish - - - you're coming to Indy on vacation? Wow, though I do enjoy Indiana, I never thought of Indy as a vacation destination.; August 4, 2008 at 8:42 AM
Gerson & Betsy said...: Yup, Keetha, your evening was MUCH more active than ours was! Our little one just sat around and giggled and only used ONE toy!; August 4, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: Betsy, you are RIGHT about the "stuff" that goes with a baby though. Keri brought in that swing, a diaper bag, a car seat, some bottles which she put in the fridge, AND we had to trade vehicles for the evening so that we would have THREE car seats if we decided to go anyplace - - - which we did, and I'll probably post about THAT today. Whew.

Oh yah - - - and most of those toys you see in the picture belong to us and stay here, so if you had to add THOSE into the total of "stuff" needed - - - the list would get pretty long!!!; August 4, 2008 at 9:06 AM
Keri said...: It's funny how men always manage to be able to squeeze a nap in!; August 4, 2008 at 1:07 PM
grammy said...: Keri and Momma was supposed to be entitled to nap on father's day...don't even remember seeing a post of that nap!!!!

Naps are short...wait till they retire...Ha!!!; August 4, 2008 at 1:36 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Nope - - - we did NOT get our Father's Day nap.; August 4, 2008 at 7:30 PM
