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"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

I Have Not Fallen Off the Edge of the World . . .

.
I'm still alive and kicking. Just not much in the way of excitement about which to blog.

In the absence of excitement, here are some boring bits:

1) Had 21 people and two doggies here for Thanksgiving. I was busy hosting and never even got out my camera, so no pictures. (But Keri took some and you can see them here if you're interested!) There was plenty of food and lots of fellowship.

2) Been watching NCAA football games on this the last weekend of the regular season. Several upsets in the making - - - more coach shuffling going on.

3) Hubby went fishing. Surprise, surprise!!! Not very warm out there - - - but they don't seem to care about the temperature if the fish are biting, well they don't seem to care about the temperature even when the fish aren't biting!!!!

4) Didn't do ANY Black Friday shopping - - - not even online.

5) My weather bug says we may get a snow storm tomorrow night and into Monday.

6) I told you these would be boring bits!!!

2 dogs?

No snow here. Clemson beat South Carolina pretty badly, and that may mean that Clemson's interim coach will have a permanent (or as permanent as such things are) job.; November 29, 2008 at 2:56 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: I watched the game. Part of me is very glad for Clemson, since I really do like them with my SWU ties and all - - - but the OTHER part of me, the part that predicted SC would win is a little bummed!!!!!

:-)

Never fear - - - I don't put any money on my predictions.; November 29, 2008 at 3:00 PM
I can't find my blog said...: Glad to be watching AL/Aub. Hoping for a good game...Probably not, though.; November 29, 2008 at 3:05 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: So far it's a good game, Headless.

I'm flipping between three games during this time slot - - - the AL/AU game, FL/FSU, AND BC/MD

All are still close at the moment.

All appear to be in the rain.

The FL/FSU game is a MESS it's so wet. Maybe that will help FSU beat FL - - - why not? GA Tech just beat GA!!!!; November 29, 2008 at 3:15 PM
Melissa ♥ Spoiled Mommy said...: Well it sounds like you had a very Happy Thanksgiving!
No pictures-thats okay as long as you enjoyed yourself thats all that matters!; November 29, 2008 at 8:14 PM
Erin said...: Hi! Thank you for stopping by my blog! You're welcome there any time. I'm not terribly exciting, but I hope you'll come back! You couldn't pay me to fight the masses on that day. There isn't a bargain anywhere that's worth it to me!; November 30, 2008 at 7:24 PM
Erin said...: Somehow I deleted my sentence about Black Friday - that's what I meant by "you couldn't pay me to fight the masses." Sorry! :); November 30, 2008 at 7:24 PM
Julie said...: Those weren't boring bits! 21 people for Thanksgiving?! You definitely deserve some time off! Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!; November 30, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: We had a very lovely Thanksgiving.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Erin. I understood your line about fighting the masses perfectly!!!; December 1, 2008 at 3:19 AM
